Question
My Year 10s keep using ChatGPT to write their essays entirely. I want to set boundaries without banning AI completely โ€” has anyone found a good approach?
C

Great question โ€” this is one of the most common challenges teachers face right now. A useful approach is to shift assignments toward tasks AI struggles with: personal reflection, in-class drafting, or multi-stage submissions where students annotate their process. Module 4 (Academic Integrity) covers this in depth when you're ready!

I started asking students to submit a short voice note explaining their essay plan before writing it. It's been a really effective way to check genuine understanding.

Has anyone used AI tools for lesson planning at primary level? I'm not sure which tools are actually designed with younger pupils in mind.

Oak National Academy's AI lesson assistant (Aila) is a great starting point โ€” it's curriculum-aligned, free, and built specifically for UK classrooms. We cover it in Lesson 1.3. For primary specifically, the key is always keeping teacher review central to any AI-generated content.

Tip
Tip for History teachers โ€” I've been using AI to generate multiple perspectives on historical events as discussion starters. Students then have to fact-check and challenge the AI output. They love it and it builds real critical thinking skills.

This is a brilliant approach James โ€” using AI as a starting point for critical analysis rather than an end product. This is exactly the kind of practice we advocate in Module 5. Would you be happy for us to feature this as a case study?

OpenAI
โœ” Policy Compliant Check with school

Gemini can help generate content, summarise documents, and assist with planning without leaving the tools teachers already use daily.
Best used for
  • Drafting and editing within Google Docs
  • Summarising long documents or reports
  • Generating slide content in Google Slides
  • Research support integrated with Google Search
Things to be aware of
  • Best suited to schools already using Google Workspace
  • Review any AI-generated content before sharing with students
  • Data handling settings vary by school Google account configuration
