Today we’re joined by Geoff Edwards, Superintendent of Learning Technologies with the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Geoff has been closely involved in OCSB’s system-wide AI journey, including the development of guiding principles, AI literacy strategies, and practical approaches to integrating AI responsibly across teaching, learning, and leadership. OCSB has also been an active participant in the C21 Canada–Dell Technologies AI Use Case Initiative, which is helping Canadian school systems explore practical, ethical, and scalable approaches to AI implementation. And a quick invitation to our viewers: check out the latest round of C21 Canada x Dell Technologies AI Use Cases, available free at C21Canada.org.
