Key Insight

AI in education is not a single technology but an ecosystem of specialised tools — each designed for a distinct purpose. Adaptive learning platforms work nothing like content generators, and assessment tools solve fundamentally different problems than accessibility aids. Understanding these categories helps educators make informed, intentional choices rather than treating all AI as interchangeable. The most effective integration strategies start with mapping your specific classroom needs to the right category of tool, not simply adopting whichever product is trending.
