In this episode of the Education Vanguard Show, Justin sits down with Alex McMillan, Instructional Technology Coach at Shanghai American School and presenter of the upcoming AIFE Conference. Together, they explore how AI can enhance, not replace, creativity in education, unpacking practical frameworks like the “Think, Generate, Edit” process, and reflecting on the balance between human thinking, student skill-building, and AI support. Alex also shares insights on policy development for schools, the importance of aligning AI use with values, and what educators can expect from the AIFE conference this November.
