We’ll be welcoming two keynote speakers at this year’s INTERFACE Xpo events, who will tackle two of the current hottest topics of digital discussion in education.

In Lincoln, Douglas Park School teacher James Riley will be speaking about his experiences using artificial intelligence in his classroom and developing learning resources for his students with AIpowered writing generator ChatGPT.

In Auckland, Landcare Research’s Catriona MacLeod will talk us through educational game development and the creation of Kiwi Kai, an app designed for young people to learn about biodiversity in New Zealand.

If you and your students are mad for Minecraft, then read on. It’ll soon be time to get your thinking caps on and your blocks on the move again because the INTERFACE Minecraft Competition 2023 is set to launch in our May issue. We’ll set the construction challenge and you’ll have until the end of Term 3 to complete and submit your entry.

Going on some awesome entries in previous years, we can’t wait to see what your students can create. Plus, we’ll also be asking teachers to share with us how they are using the building program in their classrooms.
