Lots of talk about what AI tools can do, but just as important is how thoughtfully they’re used.
Enter a simple app to guide learners through that thinking.

❓ Do I understand this tool?
⚖️ Is it worth using?

Using Nano Banana Pro for one-page visuals can easily assist engagement with research papers, guides etc. At the start or end of a paper it can cut cognitive load, highlight key ideas and support action. Take this overview of CESE’s effective feedback guide for example…
I remember reading this article, a nice reminder to keep it clear and simple. With that in mind, I enlisted AI to assist ☺️
From 2018 - I think the areas are still the areas; one of the most-read posts on my blog.
Five forms of feedback I give to teachers most often... teacherhead.com/2018/01/14/t… via @teacherhead
I’ve been focussing on how we can better connect research to practice, so I started experimenting with a light lift retrieval practice app for teachers inspired by the work of @C_Hendrick and @KateJones_teach
Try it out here: herfteducator.com/retrieval-… - feedback welcome!
Been experimenting with a PL storyboarder app that helps educators design professional learning with Cognitive Load Theory and transient information in mind (inspired by Sweller & @olicav).
Still in development but would love to know your thoughts: herfteducator.com/pl-session…
Been experimenting with simple web apps for educators, tools that help put good ideas into action.
Inspired by The Pruning Principle by @SimonBreakspear & @mrrosenbrock, I’ve made 2 tools, for task triage and for meeting audits.
Keen to hear any thoughts!

Always loved @teacherhead’s 5R’s of actionable feedback. Built a demo quick reference tool that assists with ideating common student needs into clear, student-facing tasks. Try it here and let me know of any actionable feedback you might have 🙂 herfteducator.com/actionable…
Canva Code has really sparked my genuine interest.
Early outputs were basic, but refining my prompts has started the build towards intuitive, interactive PL tools for immediate use - check out some ideas at:

A few months back, we teased clips from our upcoming VFX app, @Simulon. We've since been hard at work making Simulon the most powerful, robust, and intuitive VFX workflow available. This weekend, we'll begin granting access to select creators.
Simulon is now able to produce videos that are indistinguishable from reality - can you spot which objects on the table are real and which were added with Simulon? Watch to the end to see if you're right.

Teaching some vs teaching all. This is where the action for improvement lies. teacherhead.com/2023/05/07/t… > I keep coming back to this.. it's the core issue day in, day out. Because it's hard. It needs work. Keeping this in focus is essential.
