Estonian Education in the Age of AI
Teaching and Learning with Digital Wellbeing in Mind - how can schools use AI to deepen learning while supporting students’ independent thinking and the wellbeing of both learners and teachers?
About the session
Explore Estonia’s approach to AI in education and consider what its experience can offer schools in other countries. Drawing on the AI Leap (TI-Hüpe) programme and experiences from its first year, this session connects national ambitions with the everyday decisions of teachers and school leaders.
Classroom examples, teachers’ perspectives and questions raised by the programme’s risk analysis provide a basis for discussing effective and responsible AI use. Participants will leave with ideas for teaching and assessment, and practical questions to guide AI use in their own educational context.
Main topics
- Estonia’s AI Leap. The programme’s educational aims, support for teachers and students, and lessons from the first year of implementation.
- Teachers’ competences and changing roles. Critical AI literacy, pedagogical judgement and professional collaboration to help teachers make informed choices about AI.
