How can teachers use AI in the classroom

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept in schools, it’s happening now. But how do you use it in a way that enhances teaching rather than replacing it?

In this short video, Diane Masson, Head of Science at Walton High School, sits down with Oliver Sullivan, Editorial Manager at TeachingTimes, to explore exactly that. Diane shares how she’s bringing AI into the classroom, what’s working, and what teachers really need to think about when using AI in their day-to-day teaching.

A practical, teacher-led approach to AI

This conversation builds on Diane’s recent article for TeachingTimes, “How Teachers Can Adopt AI the Right Way”, where she outlines a grounded, practical approach to AI integration — no hype, just what works.

Diane explores:

  1. Why AI should support, not replace, teacher thinking
  2. How it can save hours in lesson planning and marking
  3. The ethical considerations schools need to address
  4. Why professional judgement is more important than ever

Her message is clear: with the right mindset, teachers can use AI to elevate what they do best — teach, inspire, and personalise learning.
