It did give me the insight what I needed :) I am starting teaching on a BTEC Level 3 qualification and wanted to widen my knowledge in this area.

I really liked the end where we took the time to play around with CHAT GPT. The room was not set up the best for this- instead of one large table a couple of small ones so we could get into small groups and brainstorm would have helped
