Generative AI and RE PD

There is no doubt that G-AI is having an impact in many sectors, including education, since Chat-GPT burst onto the scene just under three years ago. Is it the "best things ever" or the "devil incarnate"? The answer lies somewhere between - we need to think of this as another technology tool that can be used well, or badly - so not a friend or a foe but more of a frenemy.

However, RE teachers, along with all other teachers, should be aware of the possibilities or the technology. Below are some resources which might be of use to you as a teachers of RE or as a school leader. If you would like further conversations, support or PD in this area then please contact me and we can discuss this.

If you are using G-AI then I would be grateful if you would complete the survey about your experiences.
