AI is no longer a futuristic concept in education, it’s already part of classrooms across the world. But with all the buzz, it can be hard to separate meaningful insight from marketing spin.
Behind the headlines, teachers are experimenting with AI tools every day. Some use it to save time, others to support student learning. But what’s hype, and what’s actually helping?
Let’s break down the biggest myths; and what’s really happening.
This one shows up in every conversation. But the truth?
AI doesn’t replicate teacher expertise. It supports it. When used well, it gives teachers more time for what really matters: connection, creativity, and clarity.
Many assume AI will make assignments easier or encourage shortcuts.
AI, when thoughtfully applied, can raise the bar for student thinking. Instant feedback, personalized practice, and scaffolded support open up room for deeper learning, not shortcuts.
There’s a lot of skepticism out there, and for good reason. But when AI tools are designed with teachers—not just for them—something shifts.
Educators want clarity and control, not just automation. Trust grows when tools are accurate, explainable, and easy to adjust.
The educators we spoke to aren’t using AI to do less. They’re using it to teach with more intention.
From automating low-impact tasks to personalizing student feedback, AI can make room for real teaching, the kind that happens when teachers have time to think, respond, and connect.
Speakable helps teachers create speaking assignments in minutes, with AI-generated rubrics, real-time student feedback, and progress tracking that’s always visible.
