In this session, explore the limitations and possibilities of using AI to help learners develop and practice dialogue skills. Participants will consider the implications of AI and personal expression, why some young people use AI as a tool for supporting social engagement, and will provide practical approaches for leveraging AI in Dialogic Education. Drawing on current research and dialogic pedagogy, this webinar will highlight how AI can both challenge and enhance the search for authentic voice in educational settings. Join us to reimagine how technology can support deeper, more meaningful conversations in learning environments.
