Story time (including poetry at times) was one of the best times of the day with my class. We would choose some great chapter books and they were all hooked and wanting to carry on. It's the power of books!

I found setting app time limits helped me break the habit of looking for the sake of looking.
Having listened to Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear, it made me appreciate setting smaller achievable targets to ensure my habits changed.

Thank you for the reply. That's what I'm thinking too, and feels more appropriate too as there could be so many different ways that a pupil is demonstrating the skills you are assessing, and they probably won't all be in one place.

There certainly is a lot for us to understand if using AI tools. My hope is that over time, the tools learn to search from a diverse pool, without needing to specify, but think we all know the chances of that happening. This is why teaching how to use and search using AI is going to be important.

Would be interesting to also see how connected to these parents the educators are, to be able to say this confidently.
It's a bold statement to say they don't care, whereas maybe they don't know how to support their child.
So much more to unpack here as you say.
