For the K–12 Learning Technology & AI Specialist role

Everything here runs on a made-up school – the tools' real code, nothing sent anywhere. For what the live program – the K–12 AI literacy program I lead as the school’s AI lead – has done with real classes, see the AI Lessons case study.

1. An AI lesson, from the student's seat to the teacher's dashboard

   AI Lessons · as Mariam, a Grade 7 student who missed her first AI lesson

   Try

   1. Do the Week 1 lesson as Mariam: the activities are scored on the first try.
   2. In the sample bar, switch "View as" to her teacher and find her on the dashboard.
   3. Look at Attainment by strand: How AI works, Design & build, Judgment, Ethics & governance.

   Notice

   • Students judge AI outputs, test them and weigh their ethics – not just use them.
   • First-try scores show what students knew, so the evidence of learning stays meaningful.
   • Her teacher sees the lesson arrive straight away.

   Answers: student AI literacy, including critical evaluation of outputs, bias, accuracy, attribution, privacy, academic integrity, and age-appropriate use · gather evidence of impact

2. The same lesson, in a student's home language

   AI Lessons · a Grade 8 lesson's language menu

   Try

   1. Choose Русский, 한국어, 日本語 or 中文 from the lesson's language menu.
   2. Scroll to a diagram, then do an activity.
   3. Switch back to English.

   Notice

   • The words and the diagram labels change; the activities, answers and scores do not – so the student learns the same lesson, and the teacher's dashboard still counts it.
   • Made for Learning Support students learning English: every Main course week of Grades 6, 8, 9 and 10.

   Answers: select tools based on instructional purpose, student needs, accessibility · differentiation

3. Professional learning teachers can do in their own time

   Learning Hub · the module Assessment Design in the Age of AI

   Try

   1. Work through the module as a teacher, to its certificate.
   2. Switch "View as" to the admin and open the admin dashboard.

   Notice

   • The module is about redesigning assessment so it still shows what students can do when AI is around.
   • Leaders see who has done what – professional learning with its own evidence.

   Answers: asynchronous resources · assessment approaches that preserve meaningful evidence of student learning · designing effective professional learning for adults

4. From an AI chat to a classroom activity

   Activity Hub · the shared library, then Create

   Try

   1. Open Train a Tiny AI or the projectile lab, as a student would.
   2. Press Create, paste HTML from any AI tool, and publish it: a link, a QR code, a Classroom post.
   3. Remix someone else's activity.

   Notice

   • Teachers already make simulations and games with AI; this gives them somewhere safe to put them – each runs in a sandbox.
   • A library to search by grade, subject and type turns one teacher's idea into everyone's.

   Answers: practical support for AI integration, including lesson preparation, feedback, differentiation, creative work · Develop reusable templates and visual resources

5. Piloting an AI tool before the whole school uses it

   AI Pilot Evaluation (in development) · a made-up MagicSchool pilot

   Try

   1. Read the Report: the recommendation and its conditions.
   2. Open the Rubric: eight criteria, each with its evidence.
   3. Open Learning evidence: how tasks were redesigned to keep showing learning.

   Notice

   • The criteria are educational value, usability, accessibility, privacy, security, integration, sustainability and cost – the same list as the role's.
   • Teachers' views, usage and student work are weighed together, with the limits of a short opt-in pilot stated.

   Answers: Evaluate and pilot AI tools, gather evidence of impact · system evaluations, pilots, and implementations, considering educational value, usability, accessibility, privacy, security, integration, sustainability, and cost
