From the classroom up
Guests are practising teachers, principals and teacher educators, not vendors. They talk about what they see on a Monday morning.
edTalks · an NDX initiative
Where ideas
spark change.
edTalks brings practising educators, researchers and school leaders together to talk about what works in real classrooms, and what AI changes for each of them. It is how we listen to the profession, and how ministries hear it too.
Why we run it
Reform works when teachers are in the room
Technology is decided in ministries and lived in classrooms. edTalks keeps both in the same conversation.
Every region, one question
Each series takes one question across school systems, so ministries can compare how others are answering it.
Practice teachers can use
Short, concrete explainers a teacher can try the next day, alongside the longer conversations.
Feeds the work
What we hear shapes our teacher training, our lessons and the questions we put to the evidence.
Mini-series
Stuff AI Can’t Touch
Three conversations with Ariel C. Lalisan, a physics teacher turned school principal and author from the Philippines, on what must stay human in school: for the student, the teacher and the leader.
“As AI gets more capable, what must stay human in school?”
Hatem Radwan in conversation with Ariel C. Lalisan
If AI can produce the assignment, how do we know what the student actually knows?
ETHICS: equity, transparency, human judgement, integrity, critical literacy, safeguarding
GUIDE: governance, understanding, implementation, development, evaluation
In the classroom
The best ideas about teaching come from people who teach. edTalks gives them the stage.

For ministries
Bring your teachers’ voice to the table
We record edTalks with ministries and their teachers, in their language, so a national reform is explained by the people who will make it work.
- Episodes with your own teachers, principals and trainers
- Recorded in the national languages, captioned for reach
- Clips your ministry can share through its own channels
- What teachers say carried into training and lesson design
