Description
Our Guest:
Leon Furze is a consultant, best-selling author, and PhD candidate with more than fifteen years in secondary and tertiary education. Based on a working farm in southwest Victoria, Australia, Leon brings both global perspective and grounded experience to his research on the impact of generative AI on how—and why—we write.
Show Overview:
On August 6, Leon will join Anne Murphy and Kyle Shannon live to explore what happens when writing, thinking, and AI meet in the classroom. With wit and clarity, he’ll share why teaching writing isn’t just about grammar or essays—but about shaping how we engage with ideas in a tech-saturated world.
Key Takeaways:
- Why writing is still essential in the age of generative AI
- What students and teachers gain (and lose) when AI tools enter the classroom
- How educators can approach AI without panic or hype
- The surprising link between writing skills and deeper critical thinking
- What it’s like to research education’s future while living on a farm
