More often than not, younger people I teach seem to have less digital dexterity that I do - given than I'm over 50 and grew up without a mobile phone - why is this? This post picks up from a discussion I have had on more than one occasion with a good friend of mine.…

Forget multiple choice. Makers of standardized tests are experimenting with AI to try new kinds of assessments.

This working paper reviews the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on equity and inclusion in education, focusing on learner-centred, teacher-led and other institutional AI tools. It highlights the potential of AI in, e.g. adapting learning while also addressing challenges such as access issues, inherent biases and the need for comprehensive teacher training.

The trend for using social media for teacher development started before the Covid-19 pandemic but has now become a far more common and established practice. This report explains why the use of social media is an important tool for teacher development and looks at how online learning theories may be applied to this kind of teacher education.

A bibliography to help educators prepare students and themselves for a future shaped by AI—with all its opportunities and drawbacks.

Understanding how young people are using AI at home and at school—and the differences between their adoption and that of their parents—should inform a school's approach to AI tools and policies, and also how we prepare young people for a future where AI could change everything. This new report provides important perspectives on how young people themselves feel about generative AI and how they're using it.

The rise of Generative AI (and tools such as ChatGPT) and their potential impact on education have been discussed and debated ad-nauseam. The key question, as teacher educators, is what it is that teachers need to know to intelligently integrate these technologies in their practice?

The risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are of considerable concern to academics, auditors, policymakers, AI companies, and the public. However, a lack of shared understanding of AI risks can impede our ability to comprehensively discuss, research, and react to them. This paper addresses this gap by creating an AI Risk Repository to serve as a common frame of reference.

In a world of new challenges and uncertainty, how can we help students and institutions prepare for the future?

Offering students formative feedback on their writing is an effective way to facilitate writing development.

Just as AI has improved and grown more sophisticated over the past 9 months, so have teachers. AI often has a distinct writing style with several tells that have become more and more apparent to me the more frequently I encounter any.

Top of the list of objections to AI seems to be plagiarism and academic dishonesty, with students potentially using AI tools to generate entire essays or assignments they then present as their own work.

Using different AI tools at different stages of the lesson planning process can help teachers make effective use of their time.
