Empowering Educators: AI in the Modern Classroom 

El deber de un educador consiste en compartir conocimientos con sus alumnos y fomentar el desarrollo de habilidades y capacidades específicas. Por otra parte, un entrenador tiene la tarea de apoyar y motivar a sus alumnos mediante la escucha activa, el cuestionamiento reflexivo y la introducción de retos. Aunque estos papeles puedan parecer distintos en un principio, considere el impacto que tendría si un profesor integrara los principios del coaching en su clase, convirtiéndose también en una fuente de motivación.

This concept was fundamental during the new edition of the course “AI in Education: Transforming Teaching and Learning” that took place in Bologna from 17/05/2026 – 23/05/2026. The participants came from all over the world including Jason from Kiapoi High School in New Zealand; Koen from Sint-Ursula instituut in Belgium; Pedro from Blanquerna – Universitat Ramon Llull in Spain; Monika from Omnia in Finland; Minna, Maja, and Anna-Karin from Hermods Yrkeshögskola in Sweden; Eva and Marie from Linköping University in Sweden; and Thao  from Linköping university in Sweden.

The initial subject explored in the session was the significance of AI in education. This includes understanding how AI can enhance learning experiences by personalizing content, automating administrative tasks, and providing data-driven insights. Participants examined AI-powered tools that can be used to support teaching.

One of the primary focuses was on the importance of promoting in using generative AI tools. Effective prompting can significantly influence the quality of responses generated by AI, making it a crucial skill for educators. Participants practiced crafting precise and contextually appropriate prompts to maximize the utility of Chat GPT and similar tools in classroom settings. 

Another crucial topic was the ethical implications of AI in education, covering aspects like bias in algorithms, privacy concerns, and the necessity for clear policies to govern AI use. Understanding these ethical dimensions is essential to ensure AI applications are fair, transparent, and beneficial for all students.

The course also delved into integrating ICT tools with AI features, highlighting tools that enhance collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking among students. Participants were encouraged to explore various ICT applications and consider how these can be augmented with AI capabilities to improve learning outcomes. Participants also discussed how their students and colleagues spark their critical thinking to evaluate AI generated outputs.   

The participants also had the possibility of acquiring knowledge of European and international legislative frameworks and guidelines for AI integration in education. They tested AI tools to create interactive presentations while expanding the group toolbox thanks to participants suggestions and contributions.  .

Throughout this training week, participants had the opportunity to share their collective experiences and gain insights from diverse cultural backgrounds. This collaborative environment facilitated the acquisition of AI and coaching skills and provided a platform for participants to explore applying these skills within their classrooms and colleagues.
