Remembrance: Teaching History Sensitively with AI
November 10, 2025
Remembrance teaching asks for careful language, accurate sources, and thoughtful representation—yet AI can unintentionally sensationalise trauma, flatten complex histories, or invent “authentic-sounding” details. This article offers a practical teacher-in-the-loop workflow for drafting assemblies, readings, and enquiries with AI while running three mandatory checks: emotional safety, representation and bias, and source integrity. You’ll also find prompt patterns, classroom routines that model verification without making it an “AI lesson”, a short transparency note for pupils and families, and a printable one-page checklist with a sign-off record.
Bonfire Night Fireworks Forensics with AI
November 3, 2025
Bonfire Night is a gift for science teaching: colour, sound, forces and energy all show up in one vivid context. This “Fireworks Forensics” lesson sequence uses AI to help you pre-empt common misconceptions, generate hinge questions, and create copyright-safe, UK-context visuals and small data sets for pupils to interpret. Pupils still do the real science through safe, no-flame demos, careful observation, and evidence-based explanations—while you stay firmly teacher-in-the-loop.
Halloween STEM: Spooky Science Studio with AI
October 28, 2025

This guide includes device-light options, age-banded activities from Primary to KS5, and three copy-and-adapt project briefs. You’ll also get quick assessment ideas, a one-lesson mini showcase format, and printable scripts that keep prompts minimal and learning evidence strong.
Black History Month: an AI representation audit
October 24, 2025
AI can speed up Black History Month planning, but it can also reproduce stereotypes, omit key figures, and quietly centre “default whiteness” in images and text. This article offers a practical representation audit you can run on AI-generated classroom materials: images, short biographies, and display language. You’ll find a bias-checking workflow, quick critical media literacy activities for pupils, and a printable-style checklist to improve the final version. The goal is simple: safer, more accurate, more inclusive materials—made transparently.
Teaching Modersmål with AI under LGR22
October 15, 2025
Modersmål teaching under LGR22 often runs on thin time, split timetables and limited planning capacity. This article offers a “minimum viable” AI workflow: four repeatable routines that reduce workload without lowering expectations. You’ll see how to translate and adapt Swedish worksheets into Somali, build Arabic–Swedish vocabulary sets on family and traditions, generate inferential questions for Finnish folklore, and maintain a consistent subject glossary in the mother tongue. Each routine includes teacher-in-the-loop checks, data minimisation steps, and ready-to-copy prompts you can reuse weekly.
Voice AI in schools: a practical playbook
October 13, 2025
Voice AI is no longer just for language learning. Used well, it can remove barriers through speech-to-text and text-to-speech, build reading fluency with structured practice, and give teachers faster formative signals without adding marking load. This playbook shows how to pilot voice tools safely and consistently across real classrooms, with practical setup guidance, consent and safeguarding essentials, and a simple evaluation rubric to decide what to keep, scale or stop.
Autumn term seasonal AI prompt pack
October 3, 2025
This autumn-term “prompt pack” helps you teach harvest and seasonal learning across EYFS to KS3 without letting AI take over. It is designed for teacher-led or shared-device use, with paper-first alternatives so pupils can still talk, handle, observe and write before anything is generated. You’ll also find a copyright-safe image workflow for displays, worksheets and pupil outcomes, plus ready-to-copy prompts, quick checklists and classroom-ready outputs you can print and send home.
Teaching AI Ethics: 2025/26 Classroom Kit
September 26, 2025
AI ethics lessons can’t rely on one-off trolley problems any more. In 2025/26, pupils are encountering agentic AI, deepfake voice, AI companions, and AI used in school admin—often before adults realise. This classroom kit offers 12 updated, phase-banded case studies with teacher notes, a repeatable 10–20 minute discussion protocol that builds reasoning rather than ‘hot takes’, and low-marking assessment ideas that capture evidence of process. You’ll also find safeguarding, privacy and inclusion checks, plus a printable prompt pack and one-page run sheet.
Year 7 Induction: Safe AI Charter in Tutor Time
September 10, 2025
This ready-to-run Year 7 tutor-time programme covers the first fortnight with low-stakes ice-breakers that build belonging while setting clear AI boundaries. Pupils co-create a one-page ‘Safe AI Charter’ anchored in a simple rule: no pupil data, no accounts, no screenshots of personal information. Across ten short sessions, tutors teach prompt hygiene, verification habits, and calm daily routines such as check-ins, device norms, and help-seeking scripts—reducing September anxiety and creating consistent expectations across subjects.
Classroom Display Ideas with AI
August 28, 2025
Classroom displays can be powerful teaching tools, but only when they are designed for learning rather than decoration. This article shares a print-ready, inclusion-first workflow for using AI to create vocabulary walls, dual-coded worked examples, retrieval boards and ‘live’ misconception corners that genuinely support understanding. You’ll get an accessibility QA checklist for classroom print, a copyright-safe image pipeline, and copy-and-adapt prompt packs that keep teachers firmly in control.
Summer Reading Intervention with AI
July 29, 2025
Summer reading can slip quietly, especially for pupils who need extra practice with decoding, fluency and vocabulary. This article sets out a structured, evidence-based intervention that uses AI only behind the scenes as a coach for adults (and, where appropriate, older pupils). You’ll get a 15–25 minute daily routine, dyslexia-friendly adjustments, privacy-safe reading logs, and family scripts that reduce friction. Two ready-to-run pathways (a 10-day boost and a 4-week bridge) include check-ins, prompts, troubleshooting, and a September handover so learning carries back into class.

LGR22 Idrott och hälsa: an AI documentation pipeline
May 15, 2025
Idrott och hälsa is built on movement, motivation and pupil agency, yet the workload around it is often dominated by text: planning, adaptations, safety paperwork and assessment evidence. This article shows a practical, LGR22-ready pipeline for turning lively, pupil-led lessons into clear, auditable documentation using AI as a drafting assistant. You’ll see three worked workflows (Brännboll, orienteering, and risk assessment), plus quality gates that protect pedagogy, inclusion and accuracy. We finish with minimum-data safeguarding boundaries and copy-and-adapt templates you can use today.
Differentiation the LGR22 Way
February 14, 2025
Half-term is a good moment to notice what’s working, and what quietly drains your time. Differentiation often falls into that second category: well-intentioned, hard to sustain, and difficult to evidence without creating three separate lessons. This article reframes differentiation under LGR22 as an auditable, repeatable workflow: same learning goals, multiple access points. You’ll see a fixed sequence of four AI micro-tools—difficulty, reading demand, accessibility, and language—plus practical examples, quick quality checks, and simple artefacts you can save to show high expectations without one-size-fits-all teaching.
LGR22 Digital Competence: An AI Evidence Pack
January 14, 2025
LGR22 expects pupils to use digital tools thoughtfully, understand how digital systems shape information, and act responsibly online. AI sits naturally within those expectations, but it does not need its own unit. This article offers a cross-subject “evidence pack” approach: small, teachable micro-artefacts that generate assessable proof of digital competence while you teach your normal content. You’ll get ready-to-run tasks for spreadsheets, programming, source criticism, fake-news analysis, and writing with digital tools—each mapped to centralt innehåll and designed to progress from mellanstadiet to Åk 8.
