AI Powered Digital Pedagogy

Nurturing Education Summit 2025 is more than just a summitโ€”it is a celebration of a decade of De Pedagogics, a journey fuelled by passion, purpose, and progress.ย Marking a decade of gratitude, we take a walk down memory lane, cherishing the milestones, the challenges that shaped us, and the countless moments of learning and growth. This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary filled with collaborations, innovations, and unwavering dedication to making a difference. This journey has been powered by YOUโ€”the passionate educators, forward-thinking school leaders, and visionary partners who believe in the power of education to change lives. Over the past 10 years, De Pedagogics has been at the forefront of transforming teaching and learning, impacting 100s of schools, empowering 1000s of educators, and enabling 10K+ students with innovative, future-ready learning experiences. Today, as we stand at 10, we continue our journey of nurturing education, fostering curiosity, and embracing change.ย 

As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to every individual who has been a part of this journey.ย ย With this we embark on todayโ€™s journey together, we invite you to immerse yourself in thought-provoking keynotes, insightful panel discussions, and inspiring showcases that highlight the boundless possibilities of AI in education.ย 

Opening Remarkย 

The theme for this summitโ€”AI-Powered Digital Pedagogyโ€”challenges us to rethink and reimagine the role of AI in education. How can we leverage AI to enhance creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking? How do we bridge the gap between technology and pedagogy to create truly student-centric learning environments?  

Over the last 10 years, we have witnessed education evolve in ways we never imagined. With AI now at the heart of digital transformation, the way we teach, learn, and lead is being redefined. But amidst this change, one thing remains constantโ€”our commitment to humanizing education, fostering meaningful learning experiences, and ensuring technology serves as an enabler, not a replacement. 

Education has always been about empowering minds and unlocking potential. And now, with AI as our co-pilot, we have the opportunity to reimagine teaching and learning in ways we once only dreamed of. Thus, I say this again AI is not here to replace educatorsโ€”it is here to enhance our capabilities, free us from routine tasks, and allow us to focus on what truly matters: fostering critical thinking, creativity, and deep learning.ย

Visionary Voices:ย ย 

Panelist: 

Ms. Chanda Raisinghani, The Ardee School:ย  A school is planning a whole-school AI adoption with targeted outcomes for students and teachers across junior, middle, and senior levels. How can this be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows to maximise impact without being seen as an additional burden?ย 

Mrs. Parvathy Seshadri, Principal, The HDFC School, Bangalore: Your school is a De Pedagogics ‘AI Explorer School’, please share with us what are the primary successes and challenges your school encountered when adopting AI, and how can educational leaders provide the vision, resources, and support needed to overcome these barriers effectively?ย 

Ashish Aggarwal, MethdAIย : Students in a schoolโ€™s innovation lab are encouraged to develop AI-driven solutions for local community challenges (e.g., waste management, digital accessibility). Meanwhile, teachers worry about adding another subject to an already packed curriculum. What strategies can help educators without a programming background feel confident in teaching basic coding concepts to children?ย ย 

Ms. Ridhi Agarwal, AcadAlly: With class sizes exceeding 40 students and teachers struggling to manage personalised learning and progress tracking, how can AI-powered platforms streamline workflows and improve learning outcomes for all students? Is this adding to the already full daily charters that teachers need to perform and how to mitigate that?ย ย ย

We have witnessed incredible stories of transformation, resilience, and creativity. The educators in this room are not just adapting to change; they are leading it. They are pioneers, harnessing AI-powered pedagogy to make learning more personalized, inclusive, and engaging for every student, everywhere.ย But this is just the beginning.
