In this episode of the Shifting Schools podcast, titled “AI in Education: Transforming Learning for All Students with Fiona Goodall,” special educator Fiona Goodall delves into the transformative potential of AI in education, especially for students with learning differences. With over 20 years of experience, Goodall has worked across various educational sectors, including specialist autism settings, special education environments, and mainstream schools in Australia and internationally.
Goodall shares her extensive background in using assistive technologies and how her foundational knowledge has equipped her with valuable insights into the opportunities AI presents in education. Her work with students facing challenges in reading and math has fueled her interest in the role of AI and assistive tech in creating accessible learning. In one mainstream school setting, Goodall began exploring AI-powered tools for students, especially those with learning differences, helping them better access and engage with the curriculum.
Goodall discusses how systematic, synthetic, phonics-based interventions are helpful in teaching reading, but highlights the additional need for AI in education to support students as they access the broader curriculum. Her work in a Peter-12 school demonstrated how AI and assistive technologies could empower students, providing equitable access to learning resources.
