I was planning to send out a video, but got de-railed : ) Will do so later

Example of using Claude.ai when preparing Reading Comprehension Exercises 👀📜📗 The workflow: 👉 Provide Claude with ANY quality text (articles, book excerpts, etc.) 👉 Specify your exercise types and requirements 👉 Get professionally formatted materials with answer keys Example prompt: "Create T/F/NS questions and paragraph matching exercises from this text. Focus on inference and paraphrasing, not simple recall. Include comprehensive answer keys with explanations." Of course it is best to develop a detailed prompt for future use and insert it into the Instructions for your Claude.ai Project. 💡 Pro tip: Claude can adapt texts from Freakonomics, Atomic Habits, news articles, or any authentic material into pedagogically sound exercises for B1-C2 learners. ⏱️ Time saved per lesson: 45-60 minutes 📈 Quality improvement: Sophisticated questions that test genuine comprehension 💬 What's your go-to source for authentic reading materials? #TeachingTips #ESL #ReadingComprehension #EdTech #ClaudeAI #CEFR

📚 Transform quality texts into sophisticated comprehension exercises in minutes! Here's what Claude.ai just did for me with a Freakonomics excerpt: ✅ Analyzed a complex text and created 10 inference-based True/False/Not Stated questions ✅ Designed paragraph matching exercises with strategically crafted titles ✅ Used paraphrasing and synonyms throughout (no simple fact-checking) ✅ Generated comprehensive answer keys with detailed pedagogical explanations ✅ Formatted everything in a professional Word document ready to print What makes these exercises different: → First and foremost —- they are 🧑‍🦰personalised🧑‍🦰 to your student 🚀☀️🧑🏻‍🎓 (this is for a student focussed on business studies) → Questions test interpretation, not memorization → Students must recognize paraphrased information → Exercises progress from controlled to more complex reasoning → Answer keys explain the thinking process behind each question All I did was add the text and a simple prompt. 2-3 minutes work for AI

This is a general article, but I also recorded a "how to"video

I am a big fan these days of detailed lesson reviews and personalised homework. With AI I figured out how I can do that for my students super easily. This is the sort of feedback that I can provide in just a few minutes - a 15 page doc which is specific to everything that a student said during the last lesson!

Hope everyone had a great summer! We are gradually kicking off our new year programme and one of the highlights already was this Thursday's webinar on AI. Anna Popova shared a lot of new interesting AI tools specifically geared to foreign language teaching. If you missed it, it is still available for free on our platform

In a world filled with distractions—social media, endless streaming options, and that ever-present temptation to snack on just one more cookie—finding focus can feel like an uphill battle. Enter Focusmate.com, the innovative platform designed to help you tackle your to-do list with the help of a virtual accountability buddy. But let’s be real for a moment: who would have thought that “working together” could mean sitting in your pajamas while staring at someone else in their pajamas through a screen? Welcome to the future of productivity! What is Focusmate? For those who haven’t yet discovered this gem, Focusmate pairs you with a fellow procrastinator (oops, I mean “productive individual”) for 50-minute work sessions. You log in, schedule a session, and voila! You’re matched with someone from across the globe who also has an urgent need to finish that report or finally tackle their laundry pile. It’s like having a study buddy, but without the snacks—or the actual studying. The Experience: Awkward Yet Effective Let’s talk about the experience. You hop on a video call, and there they are: a stranger who is probably just as unsure about this whole situation as you are. You exchange awkward hellos, and then it’s time to get down to business. You both share your goals for the session—yours might be “write two paragraphs,” while theirs could be “stare blankly at my screen.” And just like that, you’re off! There’s something oddly comforting about knowing someone else is trying to focus too, even if they’re doing it while wearing what looks suspiciously like a bathrobe. As you both dive into your respective tasks, you can’t help but steal glances at each other’s screens (okay, maybe that’s just me). Is that person actually working? Or are they scrolling through cat videos? The suspense is real! The Power of Peer Pressure One of the most delightful aspects of Focusmate is how it cleverly harnesses peer pressure in a positive way. Knowing that someone else is watching (even if they’re not really watching) adds an extra layer of motivation. It’s like being back in school when you’d rather not be caught doodling during class because your teacher was always lurking nearby. Plus, there’s something strangely satisfying about completing your task and then giving your buddy a thumbs-up at the end of the session. It feels like winning an Olympic medal for productivity! Who knew that virtual high-fives could feel so rewarding? The Quirks We Love Of course, no service is without its quirks. There are moments when you realize your focus buddy has become more of a distraction than an aid. Perhaps they’ve decided to take an impromptu snack break mid-session (seriously, who eats chips during work hours?), or maybe they’re suddenly very interested in adjusting their webcam angle every five minutes. And let’s not forget those times when you accidentally schedule back-to-back sessions and find yourself frantically trying to finish one task while preparing for another meeting with someone new. Talk about multitasking under pressure! Conclusion: A Fun Way to Get Things Done In all seriousness, Focusmate offers a unique approach to productivity that many people find helpful—and entertaining! While it may seem silly to rely on strangers for motivation, there’s no denying that it works for countless users around the world. So if you’re struggling with focus and looking for a fun way to boost your productivity (while possibly making new friends), give Focusmate.com a try! Just remember: keep those snacks off-screen and maybe invest in some decent lighting—you never know when you’ll be paired with someone who takes their work-from-home aesthetic very seriously! Happy focusing!

Imagine if you can combine AI with actually doing what you have set out to do... The possibilities are limitless - truly! But, if you are anything like me, it's the last day of the holidays in May, and I achieved less than what I intended to. Well, why not try getting a helping hand in terms of your concentration from a complete stranger? 😳🤣👌✅✅✅

What is most relevant for us, teachers - Enhance Learning - has gone up in rankings up to #3, but the amazing thing is that people are mostly replacing human companionship by way of ChatGPT - it is at #1 by a long way!! Isn't that amazing?! 😱 I can't remember if I ever tried to have a conversation with AI just to pass the time. I mostly use it for content creation (#2, down from #1 in 2024) and to personalize learning for my students. Check out the 👉 full article here How People Are Really Using Gen AI in 2025 by Marc Zao-Sanders, and perhaps the listed use cases will give you some new ideas what you may want to use AI for! Happy learning 🫶🚀

Good morning, everyone! Hope you are enjoying your well earned break! I have a couple of really interesting posts for you, but to double the excitement try this little poll on AI 😀
