In an era where technology is advancing at an exponential rate, education is not exempt from this dynamic evolution. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to transform how we learn, teach, and conceptualize education itself. It is with this perspective in mind that we have created this directory of AI tools useful for education, with the ambition of becoming an essential resource for educators, students, parents, and all stakeholders in education.
This directory aims to demystify AI in the educational context, illustrate how it can be used effectively and ethically, and provide a list of accessible and practical tools and resources to enhance teaching and learning.
Disclaimer: Always verify the age appropriateness and terms of use for the suggested tools. These are not recommendations but rather a directory of our current tests. Tools can change and evolve quickly.
This directory is updated by our Director of Pedagogical Innovation, Alexandra Coutlée, and Simon Duguay, secondary school teacher.
