At GEG Italia we hosted Julaan Govier, who guided us through the digital strategy of the LEO Academy Trust in the United Kingdom. It’s not just about tools, but about a true “AI Literacy” embedded in the curriculum.
What you’ll see in this bilingual 🇮🇹 🇬🇧 episode:
• 🎓 AI Literacy Curriculum – discover the journey from age 7 (understanding AI and data) to age 11 (ethics, bias, and the art of prompting).
• 📚 NotebookLM and Literature – how to transform popular books into immersive experiences. Julaan shows how to generate concept maps, infographics, and video summaries to help children better understand plot and characters.
• 🔬 Safe and controlled research – using NotebookLM as a protected “research assistant,” where the teacher selects sources (e.g., National Geographic) to ensure reliable and safe information.
• 📐 Beyond the humanities – practical examples of AI use in Mathematics (visual guides for geometry) and in STEAM projects (creating theme parks with Lego Spike and AI-based budgeting).
• 💡 UDL (Universal Design for Learning) – how AI helps overcome writing barriers, allowing every child to demonstrate what they’ve learned through video, audio, or presentations.
“AI is like an avalanche: you can’t hide from it—you have to learn how to ride the wave safely.”
THANK YOU JULAAN!
