Keynote: Keeping Teachers at the Center of AI in Schools | SXSW EDU 2026

Speaker: Adeel Khan. Millions of teachers are experimenting with AI tools, discovering new ways to save time, avoid burnout and enhance student learning. A former educator who has created the most-used AI platform in schools will share unfiltered insights on what's working and what's not and how to prepare students for an AI future responsibly. Learn actionable strategies to harness AI in the classroom effectively, while always keeping educators at the center – because "teachers are magic," not the AI.
