Ahead of our AI Tools showcase this week, I though it would be helpful to share again our AI Staff Toolkit for Gemini and Notebook LM. Here you will find the playlist to watch again all our sessions so far, alongside lots of guides and ideas of how you as an educator can make use of these fantastic tools to support learning and teaching. We regularly update our Staff Toolkits so make sure you check back regularly for more useful hints!
Below is a recording of the 6th session of our AI Champion Educators with Martin Coutts and Susan Sey from Education Scotland. This looks at the latest Gemini and Notebook LM updates. Martin also shared a playlist of Google Gemini hints and tips.
We hope you are enjoying our Watch Again opportunities from this fantastic series!

Join us for an engaging virtual session showcasing how Read&Write for iPad can support inclusion and accessibility across the curriculum. You’ll see how the combination of our dedicated writing app and our specialist keyboard helps learners build confidence in reading and writing – anytime, anywhere. We will explore how Read&Write supports a wide range of needs including literacy challenges and EAL.
We’ll look at key features like text-to-speech, word prediction, dictionaries, and translation, demonstrating how they can be embedded into everyday classroom activities to boost independence and engagement.
Ideal for schools using iPads in learning environments, this session will leave you with actionable ideas to help every learner thrive.

As we begin to look forward to next session, an important part of this work is capturing staff needs. This year, we have asked staff to complete surveys, used Professional Learning sessions discussion to capture thoughts, along-side school/ELCC visits. To make sure this feedback is accurate, we would like to invite staff to come along to a face-to-face meeting to discuss the needs of their establishment alongside their own needs. We have some suggestions around what that could look like based on the current feedback and want to make sure we are hitting the right notes for your sector.
We have identified 2 dates for these sessions:
