We’ll be stripping AI back to its basics for teachers of all confidence levels. This is for you if you want to understand:
- more about AI tools in general
- how they can help you right now in the classroom
- how they can reduce teacher workload
- how AI can provide exciting learning opportunities for students
A.I. is a vast topic, so we are starting with a few basic tips and tricks that everyone will be able to take away and use.
Just the basics of A.I. can save you time and support your students in-class and at-home
We’ll focus on some familiar, core apps like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Scribble Diffusion, Quick Draw, Wakelet, and Canva.
We’ll look at their key features, run a demo lesson and (of course) answer any questions you might have!

Digital Learning Advantages
In your school, computers for students can:
- Raise academic performance by up to 23% above the national average
- Raise staff satisfaction levels above national benchmarks by up to 20%
- Improve attendance!
This is according to a new report from Dr Aubrey-Smith revealed at Google HQ just before the Christmas holidays. Though the study involved 1:1 devices, it’s a clear indicator of where schools can start to move toward right now when devices are used effectively across the school – click here for more details from the report.
