How AI Can Help You Keep Your Weekends Free This Year

Ever wished you could give each student the exact attention they need, all while saving yourself some precious planning time? AI is here to help! It’s not about replacing that special teacher-student bond (we know how irreplaceable that is!), but about creating a more dynamic and personalised learning experience for everyone.

From assisting struggling readers with real-time feedback tools like Read Along to transforming homework assignments with AI-supported practice Sets that grade themselves, AI is revolutionising the classroom. This blog explores various AI tools and strategies that not only promise to reclaim your weekends but also enhance the educational journey for your students. Let’s delve into how these innovations can transform your classroom into a more efficient, engaging, and personalised learning environment.

Let’s break it down.

Struggling readers?

No problem! Imagine a tool that listens to your students and offers real-time feedback. With Read Along you get just that – students can practise with confidence and you can focus on helping those who need it most.

Check out Read Along by visiting their website or watching this YouTube video.

Want assignments that practically grade themselves?

With AI-Supported Assignments, you’re not just creating tasks, you’re crafting personalised learning journeys! Here’s how Practice Sets, a key part of AI-Supported Assignments, work:

• Tailored Practice: Choose a topic and let AI suggest relevant web resources to build your assignment. This ensures students grapple with concepts they need to learn, not random exercises.
• Real-time Feedback: As students answer questions, they get instant feedback. Imagine no more piles of papers to grade – Practice Sets provide hints, visual explainers, and even fun animations to celebrate correct answers.
• Personalised Learning Path: Students who struggle will receive targeted hints and support, while those who grasp the concept can move on to more challenging questions. This ensures everyone is learning and growing at their own pace.

Turn YouTube into an interactive learning tool

Add AI-powered questions throughout YouTube videos assigned in Google Classroom. This encourages students to become active participants, rather than passive viewers. They can test their understanding as they watch, and you gain insights into their progress.
