Over 120 videos in this YouTube playlist to support reading/revising 'Macbeth'. I'm mostly revising the text this year, so lots of potential here for students to work independently! #EdChatIE 🎭 youtube.com/playlist?list=…

From over 170 students who took part in this year’s Concern Debates programme — we are now down to the final 8! 🎉 Their Quarter Final motion will be: “AI is a force for global good.” 🤖🌍 #ConcernDebates

This is, by far, the most popular blog of mine for the last four years. Why? Because teachers are concerned AI in education, particularly when it is used to do the hard thinking/creating for students (and I'm worried about the same for teachers). thevideotrolley.blogspot.com/2026/03/its-ov…

Oide, the Government funded organisation that gives CPD (now PLEs) to teachers, is promoting the use of ChatGPT to write poems for students and pieces of Drama, that the students can then rewrite. It's over. AI has won. thevideotrolley.blogspot.com/2026/03/its-ov…

OECD warned that “uncritical adoption of generative AI as a tool in education could inadvertently undermine the development of key human skills such as critical thinking & evaluative judgment in students.” Teachers said this but Dept of Ed isn’t listening. rte.ie/news/education…
