“EduChat, the #Education Department’s in-house generative #AITool, now used in every public #school in the state. In just over a year the #bot has gone from a shiny new thing, to a #product as crucial as a calculator and the internet.

Deputy Secretary #MartinGraham said #teachers and #principals each #report saving 90 minutes a week using #EduChat.

“Half of teachers have used it in 2197 schools, which is almost every school,” said department deputy secretary Martin Graham.

“The people who have used the #tool, there is a real light in their eyes ... it’s one of those things where if you use it, you find more uses for it.”

Launched as a trial in 50 schools, EduChat’s impact has been immediate, Graham said.

Teachers and principals report saving 90 minutes a week on tasks including #ActivityPlanning, #ResourceCreation, #ParentCommunications and #emails.

Students are also lapping it up: 89 per cent said EduChat helped them complete more work, and 85 per cent reported it improved the quality of their work.”
