Creativity in the Classroom with AI Technology: a conversation with Joanne Taylor about PATT40

Talking D&T

Send me a message.

Prepare to have your perspective on art and design education challenged as I sit down with Joanne Taylor, after the PATT 40 conference. She's here to share her thoughts on research from Oslo Metropolitan University on how AI text-to-image generators like Mid-journey, Dali-E, and Stable Diffusion are revolutionising the field. We dissect the conference highlights and reflect on the importance of staying abreast with academic research, you'll discover the keys to nurturing evidence-based learning in our ever-evolving educational landscape.
This week's discussion goes beyond mere tools, probing into the ethical terrain where technology meets education. We're tackling topics like combating bias, fostering originality, and ensuring that our students' innovation is expressed with clarity and depth. With Joanne's take on the ethical implications of AI in design and the importance of traditional skills in harmonising with new technologies, we share some thoughts about how AI can be used to guide your students into the future.
