​Speaker bio:

​Kia Ora, I am Dr. Michael Harvey, Director of E-Learning at Marlborough Boys’ College in New Zealand. I’ve led national initiatives integrating AI into education and recently presented at FETC in Florida on the future of human and artificial intelligence in schools. With a background in digital innovation and curriculum leadership, I’ve supported teachers and students to use tools like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot to enhance teaching, streamline workflows, and foster creativity.

​I’m passionate about making AI approachable and practical for all users, not just tech experts. This session is designed to empower attendees with the confidence and strategies to build their own Gemini Gems, turning AI from a buzzword into a daily ally.
