Teachers Follow The Hai Teacher Seminar To Integrate AI In The World Of Education

The Hai Guru Impact Workshop will be held in Balikpapan, April 26 (Ist)

BALIKPAPAN - Artificial intelligence (AI) developments have been implemented in various fields, including education. Instead of being seen as a threat, AI assistance can have a positive impact if applied properly and wisely.

Therefore, it is important for teaching staff to equip themselves with technological developments. Both through seminars and other programs, efforts to keep up with AI are expected to help teachers teach innovatively.

Hi Guru, an online learning platform - which aims to improve the competence of teachers in Indonesia, held the Hai Teacher Impact AI Learning Revolution in Balikpapan City. Established since 2019, Hai Guru is part of the development of IPEKA Christian School services which are open to all teachers from all schools in Indonesia. Currently, more than 1,000 teachers from various regions in Indonesia are incorporated and have experienced learning at Hai Guru.

Meanwhile, Hai Guru Impact is a Seminar and Workshop activity designed for teachers with the aim of improving the quality of learning in class. A total of 300 teachers and leaders from various schools in the city of Balikpapan attended the Hai Guru Impact activity which was held in Switzerland-Belhotel Balikpapan, on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

In this inaugural edition, Hai Guru Impact raised the theme AI Learning Revolution. The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digitalization has fundamentally changed the educational landscape by offering great potential for innovation in teaching and teaching materials.

However, AI integration also raises challenges in ethics, data privacy, and digital inequality. Meanwhile, digital ethics is crucial in forming a young generation responsible for the digital era. Teachers, as at the forefront of developing students' knowledge and skills, need competence in using AI to improve the quality of learning.

This event has become a professional development platform for teachers in the midst of the dynamics of the world of education that continues to change. We encourage teachers to explore the potential of AI technology, understand, and use it wisely and effectively in learning. This program is also a space for them to learn, discuss, and build networks," said Caroline Suyatmadja as Chair of the Hai Guru Impact Committee in a written statement, April 26.

This event also brought in a number of speakers, including the Head of the Balikpapan City Education and Culture Office, Irfan Taufik, S.Ag., M.S., Co-Founder and CEO of Mimin AI Tech Platform, Joseph Simbar, B.Sc., Practitioner of Digital Platforms Education, Purnawan Kristanto, Director of Academics Ciputra University, Eddy Yusuf, Ph.D., and Head of Hai Guru Section, Clara Anugrah Barus, M.Pd.

The Hai Guru platform seeks to consistently support the improvement of teacher competence in Indonesia through affordable and easily accessible online learning anytime and anywhere.

"Teachers need to equip themselves with technology and practical skills that can be directly applied in class," said IPEKA National School Director Esther Iriana.

Caroline Suryaatmadja hopes that this platform can help teachers to hone innovation in and out of class. Not only focusing on teaching methods, socialization with other teaching staff can also open interesting dialogues.

"We hope that through Hai Guru Impact, teachers will have the opportunity to develop skills, enrich learning experiences, and build professional networks that can support the development of their careers," Caroline hoped.
