University of Glasgow Releases Toolkit for Teachers to Evaluate AI Use

The University of Glasgow's School of Education has released a free 92-page toolkit to help teachers make deliberate decisions about digital and AI technology in learning. Developed by Mark Peart and colleagues, it guides teachers through examining assumptions, lesson design, and ethical checks, without recommending specific tools.

This toolkit offers teachers a systematic framework to decide whether to use AI in lessons, prioritizing pedagogy over technology. It directly impacts teacher professional development and adoption criteria for AI education products, potentially pushing the industry toward more pedagogical focus. Teachers gain a structured tool to evaluate AI suitability, reducing blind adoption. AI education products need to demonstrate clear educational value to align with such frameworks.
