This module has been really useful! I’ve already started using some of them!

Two examples of how I can use some of the tools identified in this module to improve my own teaching, learning, and assessment:

1. Lesson Plan Tool:
The Lesson Plan tool will help me plan more easily, especially when I need to plan different lessons for students with different needs. For example, when planning a maths lesson on 2D shapes for 1st class, I will use the tool to create a plan that includes group work, hands-on materials, and real-life shape hunts. It will allow me to focus more on getting students involved and on making sure that the lesson matches the curriculum.
2. Behavior Intervention Suggestions:
This tool will be really useful when I need quick ways to help students with challenging behaviours. I will use it for a student in my class who finds it hard to settle down and often walks around the classroom. The tool will suggest visual schedules, sensory breaks, and the use of a token system — all of which I will be able to put into practice right away. It will save me time and make it easier to provide behavioural support.

Such great ideas! I’m in a special class and totally agree -Immersive Reader could be amazing, but device access is tricky. We also share iPads across the whole school, so it’s not always easy.

Dreamspace TV sounds brilliant for morning meetings! Such a fun way to bring in STEM.

And yes to CoPilot — it really helps get over that “blank page” feeling. Big time saver!

One of the best ways AI can change the game in teaching is by helping out with administrative tasks – something that takes up a lot of time in special education settings. In my autism class, I often have to write individual reports, document progress and prepare visuals or home communication logs. AI tools can save hours by helping to generate drafts, simplify reports, or even suggest visuals based on specific needs.

For example, I’ve used AI to help me write social story templates or summarise IEP notes in clear language for parents. This means I can spend more time supporting students and less time on repetitive paperwork.

But it’s important to make sure the data we use is kept private and not stored in unsafe systems. Also, some tools still need to be checked carefully to make sure they show the child’s actual progress.

But with the right guidance, AI can definitely make admin work more efficiently and give teachers back valuable time.

Totally agree! I also work in a special class and I’ve seen how powerful AI can be — especially for creating visuals or adapting lessons based on what really motivates each child. Tools like image generators or even ChatGPT have made it easier to personalise learning in a fun and accessible way.

I work with autistic children in a special class, and I see both the good and the bad of using AI in education. The video made me realise how important it is to be careful with these technologies, especially when working with students who may need a lot of structure, predictability, and personal support.

I’ve started using basic AI tools like image generators and story builders in my classroom to create personalised visual supports or social stories. These resources help make content more accessible and meaningful. But I do know about the ethical implications, especially when it comes to data privacy and how AI might amplify certain biases if it’s not used properly.

This got me thinking about teacher responsibility. While AI can support engagement and differentiation, it’s the human element — empathy, understanding, and professional judgement — that must lead. AI should be a tool to support inclusion, not a quick fix that risks oversimplifying complex human needs.
