Details
M2 is an AI integrated piece of hardware (think R2D2 for your classroom) that uses an LLM to be both a co-teacher and an expert observer in the classroom. Mountain View School’s Cerys Lam Sam (formerly Purnell) has been a pioneer of the tool since its first arrival in NZ in May last year – the first one in the country. Since then she and her principal Ben Hutchings have been on a journey with the developers, tailoring the tool for a NZ context. You should see what it can do.! Hear about Cerys’ journey and what changes she’s seen.
