M2 is an AI integrated piece of hardware (think R2D2 for your classroom) that uses an LLM to be both a co-teacher and an expert observer in the classroom. Mountain View School’s Cerys Lam Sam (formerly Purnell) has been a pioneer of the tool since its first arrival in NZ in May 2025 – the first one in the country. Since then she and her principal Ben Hutchings have been on a journey with the developers, tailoring the tool for a NZ context. You should see what it can do! Hear about Cerys’ journey and what changes she’s seen.
Cerys has been a teacher at Mountain View School since 2022. She was also a student at MVS so has always felt a part of the woodwork. Over the last five years she has been a part of the changing face of the school and a part of that has been innovating in and around curriculum and teacher development. She is passionate about quality core curriculum teaching and loves her community.
