When generative AI arrived, many schools responded with bans. Several years on, the conversation has shifted from whether students will use AI to how they should.
AI as a patient tutor
Students use AI to get explanations at their own pace, generate practice questions and receive feedback on drafts. Well-designed tutoring modes guide students to the answer rather than simply providing it.
Rethinking assessment
Teachers are placing more weight on in-class work, oral explanations and the process behind a piece of writing, not just the final product.
Teaching AI literacy
Understanding how models work, where they fail and how to check their claims is becoming a core skill, taught alongside traditional media literacy.
Key takeaways
