been teaching for a while and thinking about trying different ai presentation tools. some faculty use the zoomable canvas ones and students perk up but im wondering if thats just novelty. the zoom thing seems cool in theory. show the big picture then zoom into details but does that actually help students retain info? some of these ai presentation tools have ai built in too. generate decks from prompts or upload lesson plans. sounds useful for saving time but im suspicious of ai content quality. basically wondering if this style is worth learning or if i should stick with whats familiar. for people who use ai presentation tools do you see better engagement? submitted by /u/Sadd-Amra [link] [comments]
My school has asked me to create and teach a new AI elective for students aged 13–15, and I'm currently planning the curriculum from scratch. I'd like the course to focus on practical, useful AI skills rather than just the theory behind how AI works. My goal is to help students become confident, responsible users of AI and give them skills they'll actually use in school and later in life. For those of you who work in AI, education, or both: What topics do you think are essential for teenagers to learn? What practical AI skills will be the most valuable over the next 5–10 years? Are there any topics that are overhyped or not worth spending much time on? If you were designing a semester-long AI course, what would you definitely include? I'm looking for ideas from people with different backgrounds, so I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks! submitted by /u/UnpaidConsultant101 [link] [comments]
This subreddit is lousy with sloppy pitches and AI magical thinking. So consider this an anti-pitch. If this exists, I want to find it and use it. If it doesn’t exist, I want to make it. I want there to be a robust, glossy, full color interactive online catalog for mature free software in every category that outlines the capability that competes with top dollar commercial and SaaS packages. I want the price list to be built on infrastructure that adjusts as nonprofit organizations and school districts provide what they already own and then outputs what training they need to find or what bullet points they need in job descriptions to implement. Basically, when school districts and orgs say they would rather invest in people than software, I want them to conveniently know what that means. Here’s a badass demo environment that shows the best of what a fully open environment can look like, pick what you want to use and we’ll give you a list of what kind of people you need to hire/train, wh
I can't remember the name, but I remember that the colors had names like Strawberry and Cotton Candy and Bubble Gum, which the program spoke aloud in a very childish voice, and it was pre-loaded with scenes and drag-and-drop clipart of animals and other objects. It also had some kind of functionality where you could type in narration and create story pages. Very similar to Storybook Weaver, but I don't think it actually was Storybook Weaver. They had it on the PCs in the kids section at Chapters when it first opened in the mid- to late 90s.

Hey everyone! I am a software developer. I couldn't find a proper English grammar-teaching app on the market to improve my English. Now, I want to build that platform myself.

I teach physics and engineering and I'm trying to settle on a more efficient teaching "stack" and I hope to be able to consolidate as much as possible into the fewest apps, sites, extensions, etc. as possible. I'd love to take advantage of AI, automations, and possibly an app or site to act as my dashboard. I know many use notion, and I'm trying to learn to use it, but I'm struggling with the learning curve. I've began using Obsidian with some success and find it easier to learn to use. I'm also looking to buy an NAS so that I can store all of my content on the NAS to free up space on my laptop and provide access from my iphone. I'm curious what others use in their "stack"?

Anthropic, one of the world’s most prominent artificial intelligence companies, is launching a version of its AI-powered assistant Claude for teachers, entering a race by technology companies to infuse AI into education. Anthropic boasts that its product can incorporate academic standards from all 50 states, and teachers can use it to help devise lesson plans, personalize instructional materials to students, and harness data to improve instruction, according to a company news release. Claude for Teachers joins Google, OpenAI, and Khan Academy — among others — in marketing AI products specifically to K-12 educators. The new product launched Tuesday and is available for free for verified educators in the U.S. It will also be piloted in Detroit Public Schools Community District for a study on educator well-being and practice. Claude’s formal arrival into the classroom comes during a complicated moment at the intersection of technology and education. The American Federation of Teachers , t
How much classroom screen time should K-12 students be exposed to? That's a question policymakers and school district leaders are debating far more frequently than they were just a few years ago. Facing growing pressure from parents and educators, schools are increasingly being asked to justify when — and why — students use digital devices in the classroom. At least six states — Utah, Iowa, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, and Maine — approved classroom screen-time legislation this year, and roughly twice as many considered bills that ultimately did not pass. Districts aren't waiting for states to act. Many are developing their own guidelines. Late last month, the Los Angeles Unified School District adopted one of the country's most restrictive policies, imposing grade-specific daily and weekly screen-time limits from elementary through high school. The implications extend well beyond classroom practice. If this trend continues, it could reshape how districts evaluate ed-tech products, in
What do you think about this? https://nysfocus.com/2026/07/14/new-york-humanoid-robot-teacher-salamanca-school-district Starting this fall, Salamanca High School will deploy a humanoid robot and avatar teaching assistant. The female robot, named Sally, will have a “lifelike appearance” with silicone skin and long brown hair, Kiguel said in an interview with New York Focus. It will be stationary in a seated position but have a wide range of upper-body movements and facial expressions. Students will use a unique identification code when interacting with the robot during class, allowing it to access their learning data and provide personalized support based on their past communication with the avatar, Kiguel said. “They’ll be able to say, ‘Hey, I’m student number 1234,’ and then the robot will be like, ‘Hey, we were talking about this yesterday, do you want to continue that conversation?” “This deployment in a working school district represents a landmark moment for both ai and humanoid r

Hi everyone! I teach first grade and I'm looking for resources to improve how I track learning outcomes. Currently, I use Google Sheets and have a different sheet for each subject area with the student names on the left and the learning outcomes across the top, then I have used conditional formatting for each cell to have them different colours for different numbers (1-4), and also write observations/anecdotal notes inside if needed. I find it's okay, but not so helpful for times when different outcomes are being assessed/observed on the same day (so I need to keep scrolling back and forth or switching tabs) or when I need to find everything for one student in one place. Does anyone have ideas of how I can streamline this so that it's more user friendly? submitted by /u/No-Resolve5295 [link] [comments]

Recommendations on the best apps for catalouging, organizing students and lesson plans and materials. Currently I have been using a seperate file for each student with notes, Google Docs and Excel. I primarily teach Business, Medical, Intermediate to Advanced English and Fluency Training, and in most cases the classes are adjusted to the individual student's industry, specialty and goals. So, in general I'm not really able to use the same lessons with every student. I also create a lot of my own learning materials. Some general, some specialized topics. Most of my Intermediate level General English students I use textbooks with, so this is much simpler than the specialized classes. Any suggestions are appreciated.

As a social impact startup founder, I've had the opportunity to visit 1–2 government primary schools every week across the Bhavnagar district for the past 6–7 years. Every school has taught me something different. Some inspired me with incredible leadership. Others showed me how dedicated teachers can create meaningful learning despite limited resources. And many reminded me that a child's curiosity doesn't depend on the size of a classroom or the school's budget. These visits completely changed my perspective on public education. Today, I don't judge a school by its infrastructure alone. I notice the smiles of the students, the passion of the teachers, the involvement of the community, and the culture that the principal has built. Every school visit gives me hope that meaningful change in education doesn't always start with policy. Sometimes, it starts with one committed teacher, one visionary principal, and one supportive community. What's the most inspiring school you've ever visite
For those of you in instructional design, IT, or admin roles who actually decide what tools get used: What's your actual criteria before adopting a new tool? Cost? Evidence it works? Ease of integration? Student demand? What would make you say NO to something like NotebookLM even if it looked promising? Have you seen AI study tools actually improve learning outcomes? Or is it mostly hype? What's the biggest barrier to adoption right now? Teacher training? Privacy concerns? Skepticism? If you've seen tools fail after adoption — what went wrong? submitted by /u/Mother-Cry8929 [link] [comments]
Hey everyone, I'm doing some investigation and looking into NotebookLM as a subject for my research, so just curious to learn. And also, just like, anything would be helpful. For those of you using it academically: How are you actually using it? (e.g., feeding it lecture slides, dense research papers, or entire textbooks?) Do you genuinely recommend it? And what subjects does it shine in? I've heard it's decent for humanities but falls apart with math-heavy or logic-based STEM stuff – is that your experience? What are the biggest pitfalls or things I should be aware of? I know about the 50-source limit, but how often does it hallucinate or mess up citations in your actual workflow? Also, I'm really curious about alternatives. If you've ditched NotebookLM for something else, what did you switch to, and why is it actually better for your specific use case? Trying to figure out if I should invest time in this or look elsewhere. Thanks! submitted by /u/Mother-Cry8929 [link] [comments]
I've been thinking about AI tutoring less as a replacement for teachers and more as a first layer of help for students who do not already have easy access to a patient adult. On the optimistic side, a student can ask basic questions without embarrassment, repeat an explanation five times, get examples in their own language, or turn messy notes into a study plan. That feels like a real access shift, especially for students who do not have private tutors, educated parents, or quiet time with a teacher. But I am also skeptical that access to answers automatically becomes equity. The students who benefit most may still be the ones with devices, good prompts, enough motivation, stable internet, adults who check the work, and schools that help them use the tool well. Without that support, AI could become another thing that looks equal on paper but widens the gap in practice. So I am curious how people here think about it from an edtech/classroom perspective: Where does AI tutoring actually r
I have been a classroom teacher since 1999, and I have finally had enough of what I call "solutions made by engineers and accountants". To many times in to many districts a solution has been bought to do.... (insert problem here)... and guess what, it was never made with teachers in mind... How we work, what we need... etc.... So, I am posting this here to create accountability for myself, because bringing forth issues/concerns without providing solutions (or ideas for ways to improve) is nothing but complaining. So, therefore I am going to solve my problems for myself and my classroom, such as Seating Plans. This may seem trivial but over the years, I have experienced good seating plans (kids are awesome, working, etc...), make a change, and its like the world has fallen apart.

Edtech doesn't seem to drive innovation internally. In fact, what is claimed to be innovative and disruptive in edtech tends to be even larger failures.

Preferably an LMS that offers as many of the following: -individual teacher licenses that are either free, freemium, or not incredibly expensive for a single teacher -SSO capabilities for easy access to tools like Phet, CK12, and similar sites/apps. -content repository capabilities OR integrations that allows one to connect your content easily -not incredibly difficult for students to use I have been using google classroom but I only find it to be useful for communicating through the stream, posting content digitally, and for providing resources for students.

I’m exposing my experience with Jobaaj Placement Program. They promise students that they will get a job within 3 months, otherwise they offer a money-back guarantee. But the reality and their terms & conditions tell a very different story. Their policy says that if a student attends 2 interviews and fails to clear them, they are no longer eligible for a refund. Now here’s the issue: The first few companies they arrange interviews with often have extremely limited openings — for example, 2 openings with 100+ students being interviewed. Obviously, most students will get rejected. After just 2 failed interviews, the refund clause becomes invalid. And after those 2 interviews, in my experience, they barely care about your profile anymore. Communication becomes poor, support slows down, and there is little genuine effort to help students get placed. This creates a system where students lose both: - the placement promise - and the refund eligibility It genuinely feels like the process is
