Over the past few weeks, I’ve been refining, checking, and double-checking my latest Periodic Table of AI Tools in Education.
It isn’t exhaustive. It isn’t perfect. It isn’t meant to be.
What I’ve tried to do is bring together genuinely useful AI tools that I know are already making a difference.
For colleagues wanting to explore further, I’m sharing the list exactly as it appears in the table, including website links, grouped by category below. Please do check it out, as along with links to all of the resources, I’ve also written a brief summary explaining what each of the different tools do and how they can help.
Hopefully, that will help you safely explore, evaluate, and make informed decisions about what may work in your context, and of course, if you’d like to find out more about how you can work with me, why not try dropping me a line via my contact page.
And finally, I’m delighted to share that from the 1st to the 24th of December, I’ll be hosting the #24DaysOfAI Appvent Calendar once again, sharing daily tools, insights, and classroom-ready ideas.
I’m thrilled to be joined by a brilliant group of guest contributors across the event: Teresa Menton, Ashley Bryant, Jerome Nogues, Joe Arday, Lyndsey Stuttard, Emma Darcy, Kieran Buckley, and Julie Carson.
So if you’d like to follow along with the daily drops of inspiration, ideas, reviews, and some genuinely brilliant uses of AI in education, do subscribe to the blog or connect with me on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themarkanderson/

And there you go! If you really have read this far, please note, none of the tools or platforms, apps or anyone else has paid anything to me for inclusion on this table. It is 100% independent. If it was, I’d say, unlike plenty of others, I might add!
