AI in the classroom — reality, not the future
In 2026, the question is no longer whether AI will enter teaching, but how to use it effectively. Hundreds of teachers from European countries report significant time savings and higher student engagement when working with AI tools.
1. NotebookLM — your research assistant
Google NotebookLM can analyse documents, answer questions from their content and generate podcast summaries. Teachers use it to prepare lessons — upload a textbook chapter and let AI create quizzes and discussion questions.
2. Canva AI — visual materials without design skills
New AI features in Canva allow you to generate presentations, infographics and posters from a text description. Magic Write helps design exercises tailored to student levels.
