New from Ofsted: AI won't be inspected directly. But if students or staff are using it, leaders need to know how, why and what the impact is. The biggest risk? Doing nothing. Get to know the tools. Audit the risks. Take responsibility. 🔗 www.gov.uk/government/p... 🔗 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Imagine an agentic AI that can run for years. Decades even. Relentlessly trying to solve a single problem. What if that problem was creating the perfect worksheet for A-Level Computer Science… and I'm the agent? I've been running for nearly 42 years. The prompt theory is real, people.

I'm posting here as zero people from my school are here. This is not a rant, but will sound like one 😉 We did an in school workload calculation and I'm on 130%, and that is not taking into consideration all the AI stuff I do on the side. In short...no wonder I'm tired 🥱

Had the house to myself today, so I tried out the Santa voice mode on ChatGPT while making cauliflower cheese. It was like having a virtual sous-chef! Even switched to vision mode for tips when my sauce wouldn’t thicken. I will let you be the judge.

At a school event yesterday, some students told me they've been watching my TikTok channel on AI. I’d honestly forgotten about it, I stopped posting when life got hectic. But hearing that made me think... maybe Christmas break is a good time to bring it back.

Played a AI generated video of Charles Dickens introducing A Christmas Carol (made it look like an old painting). The students were fascinated but asked, “Hang on...was he actually real?” Moments like that remind you there’s still work to do. #AIliteracy #Whataretheybelievingonline

Are we raising thinkers or button-pushers? AI is powerful, but it must not be a crutch. I use the 'AI Sandwich' method: 🥪 Students tackle problems first. 🤖 AI challenges their ideas. 🥪 They refine with new insights. Critical thinking stays centre stage. How do you balance AI in learning?

Seeing educators obsess over AI detection tools for homework essays makes me think we're solving the wrong problem. The traditional model is backwards: teach basics in class, then send students home alone for the hardest cognitive work. At my school, we simply moved it all back to class.
