AI For the Real Classroom (by a Real Teacher)

Where AI works for teachers in the classroom.

I’m a primary school teacher with over 15 years of experience, teaching from Reception to Year 6 in both Australia and the UK. I started Real Classroom AI as a result of exploring how AI could make my own planning and work processes more efficient. AI has helped me work smarter, but only when I understood how to use it effectively.

On this channel, I share real, practical approaches that I use every day in my classroom to save time, support lesson planning, and ensure each child gets the learning they need.

Since integrating AI into my own workday, I’ve found it’s incredibly helpful for quickly planning lessons, differentiating for SEND/EAL learners, and creating engaging activities more efficiently.

My goal is to help other teachers use AI with confidence, in a way that truly benefits students and reduces workload pressures. I don’t believe AI replaces a teacher, but it’s a tool that lets us focus more on delivering great lessons.
