If there’s a single shift the AI tutor brings to lifelong learning, it’s this: learning becomes less about consuming content and more about entering a dialogue. You ask, it responds. You try, it observes. You reflect, it reframes.

Video is a great way to promote your online teaching services or make money from online courses, but for a lot of teachers the idea of getting in front of a camera or learning an editing programme is just too daunting. If this is you, Jo Gakonga's Video Creation for Educators programme might be just the ticket. Jo's course gives teachers the confidence and skills to make video they're proud to use -check it out and get £50 off with the code NIK50
Nik Peachey's insight:
This is a great course from Jo Gakonga at ELT Training. She has years of experience at helping teachers to produce their own video materials and generate an inclome from them.

The DfE published its updated Generative AI Product Safety Standards on 19 January 2026. They are, in principle, exactly what education needed. Guardrails for AI in schools. Protections for children. A clear statement that developers can't just ship consumer AI into classrooms and hope for the best. And overnight, they've made the AI tools most…

Until a few months ago, for the vast majority of people, “using AI” meant talking to a chatbot in a back-and-forth conversation. But over the past few months, it has become practical to use AI as an agent: you can assign them to a task and they do them, using tools as appropriate. Because of this change, you have to consider three things when deciding what AI to use: Models, Apps, and Harnesses.

These AI guidelines for teachers, now with checklists, are part of a series of steps designed to address that gap. The British Council is committed to supporting teachers with the skills, tools and resources they need for managing their classrooms and keeping up to date with key developments. These AI guidelines offer principles to help teachers make responsible choices when using AI in teaching or for continuing professional development. While primarily designed for English language teachers, these guidelines may also be useful for other subject teachers in English-medium education. We hope the guidelines are a valuable resource for teachers, empowering them to take an informed, ethical and context-specific approach to integrating AI into their teaching.

Nik Peachey's insight:
The future of video-based learning isn’t faster production or more convincing avatars—it’s tools that operationalise learning science by default, so that creating effective instruction becomes the path of least resistance. In this world, AI video platforms don’t just make video—they manage learning sequences, track performance over weeks and diagnose where learning falls down.

Nik Peachey's insight:
The Oxford Rubric™ is proposed as a normative framework rather than a technical standard. Its purpose is not to rank AI systems, but to assess appropriateness of use in educational contexts. The framework is intentionally technology‑agnostic and future‑proofed, focusing on enduring educational values rather than transient tools.

Este artículo ofrece una reflexión muy valiosa sobre cómo la educación y la crianza deben adaptarse a los tiempos actuales, marcados por cambios constantes y la presencia creciente de la inteligencia artificial. Destaca la importancia de formar a los estudiantes y los niños no solo en contenidos, sino en habilidades de pensamiento crítico, síntesis de información y toma de decisiones éticas, elementos esenciales para enfrentar problemas complejos y participar de manera responsable en la sociedad. Además, subraya que la tecnología, incluida la IA, debe ser una herramienta que complemente la enseñanza y fomente la curiosidad, nunca un reemplazo del juicio humano. También resalta la necesidad de que adultos y educadores acompañen a los jóvenes, promoviendo la alfabetización digital, hábitos de seguridad y capacidad para cuestionar lo que consumen. En conjunto, es un llamado a repensar la educación, la guía familiar y la integración tecnológica para preparar a las nuevas generaciones de manera integral y consciente.

This article aims to set out the parameters faced by educators in the light of the rapid development of AI programmes. There are also the philosophical challenges that we face which is a major subject for further discussion. The thesis, that to counter or balance the impact of AI we must improve our education system and modernise it to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world.

I recently encountered a term that stopped me in my tracks - cognitive outsourcing (thanks to Professor Miles Berry for that one!). We're all well-acquainted with cognitive offloading. That's the act of letting a tool take the weight of a task so we don't have to. But "outsourcing"? That feels different. It sounds distinctly middle-class,…

Cognitive offloading is often a total hand-off. Dumping the task and walking away. The responsibility transfers completely. You’ve got the answer, job done, move on.

El informe “A New Direction for Students in an AI World: Prosper, Prepare, Protect” (Brookings, 2026) analiza los efectos de la inteligencia artificial en la educación y advierte que, si se usa sin regulación y preparación adecuada, puede generar riesgos sobre el aprendizaje, la privacidad y la equidad. Propone tres pilares: Prosper, para enriquecer el aprendizaje sin sustituir el pensamiento; Prepare, para fortalecer la alfabetización en IA y la formación docente; y Protect, para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar estudiantil. Críticamente, aunque ofrece un marco útil, el informe enfatiza los riesgos más que los beneficios potenciales, y sugiere que la integración efectiva de IA requiere evidencia empírica, formación docente y adaptación curricular.

When I hear instructors talk about “banning AI,” I often think about the missed opportunity. Instead of building environments where students can engage in honest, critical conversations about how these tools shape our work, we reduce everything to a cat-and-mouse game. Teachers invent restrictions, students invent workarounds. Nobody learns much except how to evade the system.
