• #140: ChatGPT5 and Beyond: My Top 3 GenAI Apps for Teachers in 2025

  We’ve all been swept up by the hype that has come in the wake of the creation of generative AI (aka GenAI) systems. Back in 2023, when ChatGPT was launched, its capability was limited to text generation, spell checking and rudimentary admin work. Now, however, the form factors of GenAI come in so many shapes and sizes. People are using AI to create slide presentations, images and videos, to record meeting notes, to generate complex documents such as spreadsheets and academic papers and even to act as virtual therapists. In today's episode, I outline my favourite three GenAI apps for teachers in 2025.
