In this Teacher’s AI Cafe episode, Kane interviews Sri, Head of Science at Karratha Senior High School in country WA, discussing technology use in a remote, diverse mining-town context and recent cyclone concerns. Sri explains how COVID accelerated adoption of digital tools like PhET simulations and Socrative, though many teachers reverted to pen-and-paper afterward. They explore how ChatGPT’s release in early 2023 shifted assessment practices toward more open-ended tasks and increased in-class validation, noting AI detectors are unreliable. Sri describes encouraging cautious staff use of AI for planning, auditing support, and resource creation, while tackling student overreliance and poor referencing. They discuss equity issues around access, literacy, and subject knowledge, compare tools like ChatGPT and Claude, and conclude AI should support—not replace—teacher expertise.
