AI Podcast Ep 18 – Using AI to Embed Sustainable Practice

“Embedding Sustainability into Play-Based Learning with AI” shows educators how to design eco-friendly experiences that fit any setting, from family daycare to OSHC. Jodie shares AI prompts for instant activity ideas, tips for documenting and sharing progress with families, and guidance on funding bigger green projects, so sustainability becomes a natural, enjoyable part of your programme rather than another task on your to-do list.
