Approach, impact and practical details
The internet is flooded with "New AI tools". In this course, we filter the noise. We discuss data protection, GDPR-related questions and safe classroom use, so you can make informed decisions before using any AI tool with students.
Our use of AI in the classroom follows UNESCO’s guidance on AI in education.
We test and master a curated selection of AI tools for teachers, categorized by their classroom utility:
Large Language Models (LLMs)
- ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), and Google Gemini
Lesson Planning & Content Creation
- MagicSchool AI and Curipod for interactive lessons
- Canva Magic Studio for educational visuals
- Gamma for instant pedagogical presentations
Multimedia & Assessment
- Adobe Firefly for copyright-free classroom images
- Sunno or Udio for educational songs and audio
- QuestionWell for instant quiz generation
Note: tools evolve quickly; those presented are examples selected for classroom usefulness, accessibility and data-protection awareness, and the selection is updated regularly.
We don't want you to just "know" AI; we want you to use it. This course ensures a long-term return on investment for your school:
- The AI Roadmap: On Friday, you leave with a personal action plan to implement AI tools for teachers in your specific subject area.
- Staff Training: We provide you with a "turnkey" presentation to share your new knowledge of artificial intelligence in education with your colleagues.
