Something I've been wondering about lately.

It feels like every year there’s another platform that’s supposed to make teaching easier — one for assignments, one for communication, one for assessments, another for resources…

But at some point, does having more tools actually make things harder?

For teachers here:

What’s something you still find unnecessarily time-consuming in your day-to-day work?

Could be something small — keeping track of assignments, finding good resources, answering the same doubts repeatedly, planning classes, checking work, communicating with students, anything.

And if there was a tool that genuinely solved one of those problems well, what would you want it to do?

Not looking for recommendations — just curious about what teachers actually struggle with.

I’m honestly conflicted about AI and college essays. If some students are using AI and getting better grades, while some professors are apparently using AI to grade essays, it makes me wonder how fair the whole system is.
I’m not saying I want to cheat, but seeing other students benefit from AI is honestly starting to tempt me to use it too. Should I just start using AI as well? What do you guys think?

I apologize in advance; English is not my native language.

Hi! I’m a university student (majoring in marketing), and we were recently assigned a debate where we have to answer the question: "Should the use of artificial intelligence be permitted in all university assessments?" Personally, I am firmly against it; however, my group has been assigned to argue the "pro" side.
I’ve been thinking about this all week, and I have absolutely no idea how to argue in favor of a position I don't share.

By the same token, it is very difficult to find sources that support arguments in favor of using Artificial Intelligence in exams. Perhaps I am overlooking something that could help with my work.

Is there anyone who can help me? Do you have clear arguments backed by reliable sources?

Hi everyone,

I’m from a Commerce background and currently working in IT. I have some exposure to testing/UAT and basic technical tools, but I’m not from a coding background.

I want to learn AI/GenAI and eventually move towards a better-paying career.

Can someone suggest:

• Where should I start?
• Any budget-friendly courses/institutes that are actually worth it?
• What AI-related career paths are suitable for someone from a non-tech background?

Would really appreciate suggestions from people who have been through a similar transition. 🙏

I've been playing around with some of Google's newer AI features like Gems, NotebookLM, Workspace Flows and some of the more agent-like stuff, and I'm curious what teachers are actually doing with them.

Obviously I'm already using Gemini and NotebookLM for the usual things, but I'm struggling to come up with genuinely useful ideas for the more agentic/automation side of things in teaching. Things that actually improve how I work, rather than just doing the same things a little faster.

Has anyone found a use that actually stuck? Something you now use regularly, or something that made you think, "OK, this is actually useful"?

I'd love to hear what you've tried, including things that sounded promising but turned out to be pointless.

Really worth reading. Top students seeing their test scores, cognition, and social skills collapse :
