    #140: ChatGPT5 and Beyond: My Top 3 GenAI Apps for Teachers in 2025

    We’ve all been swept up by the hype that has come in the wake of the creation of generative AI (aka GenAI) systems. Back in 2023, when ChatGPT was launched, its capability was limited to text generation, spell checking and rudimentary admin work. Now, however, the form factors of GenAI come in so many shapes and sizes. People are using AI to create slide presentations, images and videos, to record meeting notes, to generate complex documents such as spreadsheets and academic papers and even to act as virtual therapists. In today's episode, I outline my favourite three GenAI apps for teachers in 2025. This podcast episode is accompanied by a blog post at https://richardjamesrogers.com/2025/08/09/chatgpt-5-and-beyond-my-top-3-ai-tools-for-teachers-in-2025-and-beyond/Check out my books for teachers at https://richardjamesrogers.com/books-for-teachers/Interested in some teacher training?

    #139: The Truth About Doing Group Projects With High School Students

    As teachers, we're often drawn to the idea of incorporating group work and group projects into our lessons. After all, when done well, collaborative tasks can boost learning, enhance retention, and strengthen peer relationships. But here's the catch: group work only works when it's structured properly. In today's podcast episode, I reveal the cold, hard truth about what many teachers are getting wrong with group assignments, and how to fix it.

    #138: Does the Gender Gap in Education Really Exist?

    As a teacher who’s worked with students across a range of schools and contexts, I often hear colleagues say, “The gender gap? Isn’t that old news?” At first glance, that might seem fair. After all, in many parts of the world, girls are now outperforming boys academically. But when you take a closer look, a much more complex picture emerges.

    #136: Equity vs Equality in Education: What I’ve Learned from the Front Lines

    Like many early-career educators, I believed that equality, which means giving all students the same tasks, the same resources, and the same deadlines, was the fairest way to teach. However, time and experience taught me that equity, not equality, is what truly transforms learning. It involves giving each student what they need to succeed. Sometimes that means providing different forms of support to different learners.

    #135: Using Generative AI as a Teaching Assistant

    I’ll admit it: I was skeptical at first. When I first heard about teachers using AI like ChatGPT to help in the classroom, I imagined some robotic voice taking over my lessons while I stood awkwardly in the corner. But after giving it a try for a while, I can honestly say this: Generative AI has become one of my most useful classroom assistants, and I don’t even need to buy it coffee.
