Which AI tool could help with your everyday teaching tasks? With so many options available, choosing where to begin can feel overwhelming. A useful starting point is a clear educational need: helping learners organise their work, making instructions easier to follow, or supporting better communication.
Within the AI4VET project, we are developing the Edu-AI Tools Navigator — a practical guide that connects AI tools with real teaching and learning situations. Our aim is to help educators understand how different tools could fit their practice and make informed choices about using them.
One example is Goblin.Tools, a collection of small tools that support planning, organisation, time estimation, and written communication. Its functions offer several starting points for classroom activities and independent learning.
Magic ToDo can break a broad task into smaller steps. For someone preparing a presentation or organising a group project, this can provide an initial structure to review and adapt. Teachers can use that structure to discuss priorities, responsibilities, and what successful completion involves.
Compiler can turn scattered notes into a list of actions, while Estimator offers an approximate indication of how long an activity might take. Those estimates can become a discussion prompt: does the suggested timeframe match the task, the available resources, and the learner’s experience?
Formalizer can help adjust the style of a written message. In vocational education, learners could compare different versions of an email to a placement supervisor or a customer, discussing which wording communicates their intentions most clearly.
These are possible learning activities, rather than reported project results. Their educational value depends on how teachers introduce them and how learners engage with the suggestions. Reviewing an AI-generated plan, explaining changes, and checking a message’s meaning can all become part of the learning process.
Through the Edu-AI Tools Navigator, we want to make exploring AI more approachable and purposeful. Our focus remains on useful tools, thoughtful decisions, and practical support for educators and learners.
