Toddle AI Professional Development

Posted on August 13, 2025 by Jade Peartree

Toddle AI Live PD- Wednesday 13th of August 2025

(1 hour online viewing and participation, 1 hour personal reflection & blogging: 2 hours total)

Hosted by Deepanshu Auora (CEO and founder of Toddle)

Toddle AI Features

My school has recently launched Toddle as our new digital learning platform, and the AI tools are set to save teachers up to 10 hours per week. Rather than adding to workload, Toddle AI streamlines planning, feedback, and reporting while enhancing teaching practice.

Key benefits include:

  • Voice-activated unit planning linked to curriculum standards
  • AI-powered refinement of existing planners with suggestions for improved engagement
  • Differentiated activities and scaffolds tailored to student needs
  • Instant translation and language support for EAL/D students
  • Ethical AI use where teachers remain in control of learning design

PYP Planning and Documentation

Toddle AI can create, edit, and improve units of inquiry based on your prompts.

Teachers can:

  • Build new units or adapt past planners based on reflection
  • Receive fresh activity ideas to increase student engagement
  • Automatically link units to school-uploaded curriculum standards
  • Generate scaffolded and differentiated tasks

Future developments include linking planners across year levels to ensure vertical alignment.

Student AI Tutoring

The AI Tutor provides personalised support for students at different ability levels (Beginning, Emerging, Developing, Mastery).

Features include:

  • Instant, adaptive feedback in real time
  • Verbal conversations to support story planning and idea generation
  • Language translation for multilingual learners
  • Safe chat monitoring with alerts for inappropriate content
  • Recordings and transcripts for teacher review

Students can photograph their work for immediate AI feedback, strengths, improvement points, and next steps—allowing them to progress without waiting for teacher grading.

Grading and Reporting

Toddle AI can:

  • Automatically evaluate submitted student work and generate comments
  • Create rubrics from uploaded documents (Word, PDF, Google links, etc.)
  • Conduct LEAP writing assessments for consistent, moderated marking
  • Assist with report writing, drawing from over 1.5 million pre-generated comments linked to student evidence
  • Allow voice notes to personalise reports

 

Special Features

  • AI quiz generation and debate suggestions
  • Real-time translation of teacher or student speech
  • Pattern analysis to identify learning trends and needs
  • Ethical AI focus—students are co-creators, not passive recipients

Final Thoughts

Toddle AI is not replacing educators—it’s a time-saving, planning-enhancing partner that helps us focus on what matters most: teaching and learning. With thoughtful use, it can support student agency, personalised learning, and responsive teaching in our PYP classrooms.

My Purpose

As an educator I feel it is one of my responsibilities to reflect on my professional practice. This in turn will assist me in developing my teaching knowledge, skills and standards. My professional blog will record my progress and provide evidence of my development. I will be using the AITSL teaching standards to address and meet teacher registration guidelines.
