More than 80 primary and secondary school teachers from 45 schools attended a Straits Times workshop on October 29 in Singapore, where they learned to use generative AI tools such as Gemini Notebook and ChatGPT to create classroom content. The session, held at the SPH Media News Centre in Toa Payoh North and facilitated by StoryLab Academy trainers, focused on adapting AI-generated material to student needs while ensuring accuracy and responsible use. Teachers used articles from Little Red Dot and IN, student publications by The Straits Times, to generate lesson resources, videos, and infographics, verifying them for factual correctness and hallucinations.
The 2026 teacher engagement workshop built on a 2025 session that introduced AI for visual content creation. Educators like Faizal Mohamad from Whitley Secondary School, Desirene Teng from River Valley Primary School, and Rosalind Lee from Meridian Secondary School highlighted AI's role in saving time and tailoring materials, while emphasizing the need for critical evaluation. ST editor Jaime Ho stressed that AI literacy shares principles with media literacy, including identifying bias and verifying sources.
