Our take

A quick first step for primary and post-primary teachers and school leaders in Ireland. In one hour it covers AI basics and the ethics of AI in schools using EU and UNESCO guidance, with a certificate and digital badge, and it may count towards Croke Park hours with school management approval. The caveats: you need a Scoilnet account, and the course is open until 25 June 2027. For more hands-on classroom use, try Generative AI for Educators with Gemini.
