This school year AI will have a strong presence in classrooms. I know the landscape isn’t perfect yet. There are valid concerns, ethical questions, and school AI policies that still feel scrambled. But one thing is clear: as educators, we can’t ignore this shift.
AI offers us a chance to enhance teaching and create deeper learning experiences for our students.
I’ve been reviewing dozens of AI tools over the past year, and many teachers have asked me which ones are worth trying. To help, I’ve put together a curated list of some of the best AI tools for education right now.
A quick reminder:
- Don’t let the number of tools overwhelm you.
- Choose only what fits your teaching style and context.
- Don’t go with novelty, go with pedagogy. Start with a needs assessment, then select the tools that meet your goals.
I am not affiliated with any of the tools in this list. This is based entirely on my experience and research.
