AI in the Primary School

with Kirk McCullough, ES Ed Tech Coordinator, ABA Oman International School

AI is already showing up in schools, but many teachers are still unsure what it actually looks like in a primary classroom. In this session, Kirk McCullough breaks down what AI means for day-to-day teaching and how it can be used in practical, age-appropriate ways.

The session focuses on real classroom use—how AI can support teaching and assessment, provide timely feedback, help meet diverse learning needs, and boost student engagement and creativity. Kirk also addresses the questions that matter most to educators, including safety, ethics, and responsible use, so teachers can make informed decisions about when and how AI fits into their practice.

Join this session to get a clear, realistic look at AI in the primary years—and leave with ideas you can actually use.
