Today we are extremely excited to announce our first AI features! Built to address specific friction points in the classroom, these teacher-facing tools keep instructional power firmly in educators’ hands so they can effectively utilize resources, reduce mental load, and focus on the critical task of propelling student growth. These features, including Auto-Feedback, Auto-Graded Essays, Lesson Clipper, and Practice Generator, will be available for the 2024-2025 school year.

Fantastic news for educators! These AI features will be invaluable tools in streamlining classroom processes and enhancing teaching effectiveness. Can't wait to see the impact they'll have in the upcoming school year! 🎉 #EducationInnovation #KiddomAI

It’s going to be an uphill battle!! I recently shared a hard truth: "Human learning is difficult to change." Right now, I'm seeing that play out in real-time. We've adopted three classrooms with teachers eager to explore AI's potential. But as the reality of day-to-day teaching takes hold, many revert to old patterns—because, let’s face it, habits are hard to break. Meanwhile, outside the classroom, there's plenty of noise. People are waving their hands, excited about AI generating exit tickets, lesson plans, and emails. But here’s the thing: teachers already know how to do that. That's not the challenge. Getting AI to support deeper, more meaningful classroom work is the real challenge. During a walk around one of my campuses, I did an informal AI survey. Several teachers shared how AI helps them save time with the details. But the burning question is, what’s next? Where do we go from here? I also hugged a teacher in the hallway, already overwhelmed at 10:30 in the morning by a student’s behavior. These everyday challenges are real, and teachers want to know, "What else can AI do?" Can it help with classroom management? Can it address the human elements that make or break the learning environment? These are the questions we should be asking. AI isn't just about automating tasks we already know. It’s about pushing boundaries—figuring out what AI can do that we haven’t even imagined yet. That's why we created Agnes, our AI toolbox built on the belief that educational AI shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. We didn’t want to constrain teachers with pre-made prompts or canned solutions. We want to see where their creativity can take AI, not the other way around. After all, if all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. We want to give our teachers more than a hammer. The world our students are entering is going to be shaped by AI. The question is: How do we prepare them for it? It’s an uphill battle, but the possibilities are endless. Stay tuned—we’re just getting started. #AIinEducation #ClassroomInnovation #TeachingChallenges #FutureOfLearning #AIAdoption #Educationevolution #K12Education #AIForGood

Yes.. change is hard but change is necessary. The educational environment, leadership, and infrastructure must be accepting of the change. Using Ai as a creative thought partner for designing creative authentic learning experiences and then creating chatbots to serve a tool to personalize learning for the individual student and then synthesizing information into new and novel ways is where the innovation in education will occur. It’s not easy but we have to keep pushing. What are the creative constants and design elements that you can use to harness the power of Ai? This is a question that I ask myself in the daily.

Yesterday, I shared how I’ve been using AI to make my thinking visible and improve my ability to prioritize information. Today, I’m excited to take that idea into the classroom. I’ve created a differentiated teaching resource that helps students develop prioritization, critical thinking, and metacognition using AI. This guide includes structured activities for grades 6-12, designed to make their thought processes more visible while practicing real-world skills. The resource includes: Sample content for hands-on practice. AI-based tasks to reorganize and analyze information. Reflection questions that push students to think deeper. If you’re exploring how AI can support deeper learning and better thinking in your classroom, this is a great place to start. Download the resource here and let me know how your students respond. I’d love to hear your thoughts! #TeachingResources #AIInEducation #Metacognition #CriticalThinking #EdTech #StudentLearning #DifferentiatedInstruction #ClassroomIdeas

My biggest hopes for AI in the classroom aren’t being able to do “new” things, but rather helping teachers do the things we’ve known for so long are invaluable (but incredibly difficult to implement) like authentic project-based learning. I love the prompt in this article: how can AI help teachers and faculty move away “from the ‘what’ pedagogy of the industrial era — students passively ingesting a heavily curated body of information for later regurgitation — to a ‘why’ paradigm that turns students into builders of new knowledge through #creative problem solving.” The Chronicle of Higher Education:  https://lnkd.in/gjMN_x4D #AILiteracy

This allows us to optimize the curriculum for maximum impact, with international standards in mind, adapting and customizing lessons based on each student's strengths, interests, passions, goals, and desires. Additionally, our deep learning AI model tailors the educational experience to each student's age and school year level, developing and improving on the best learning patterns for their success. Experience personalized, cutting-edge education like never before with TeachingTutor.ai! #TeachingTutorAI #EducationRevolution #CurriculumOptimization #PersonalizedLearning #AIInEducation #DeepLearning #StudentSuccess Harry Katsiabanis MEI, MAICD

I narrowed down my “Top 5” list of ways AI can help increase student #creativity in the classroom, which of course amplifies all sorts of other outcomes (depth of understanding, self-expression and well-being, and career skills) in a new article in Education Week. If we stay grounded with pedagogical principles, learning science, and student outcomes, I really do see how generative AI is (already) making learning personal and empowering students to bring bold ideas to life, setting them up for future success. https://lnkd.in/gtjTxcz4
