Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant concept confined to futuristic films or research labs. In today’s classrooms, it’s becoming an accessible, powerful tool that supports how students learn, question, and grow. At Shraddha Children’s Academy, we see AI not as a replacement for traditional teaching but as an extension of it. One that can personalise, reinforce, and deepen the learning experience.
As education evolves, so must the strategies we adopt. The conversation is no longer about whether students should use AI but how we can guide them to use it thoughtfully, responsibly, and in ways that enrich their understanding.
This blog offers practical insights into how students can make the most of AI tools while staying rooted in the values of curiosity, discipline, and human connection that define true education.
1. Use AI for Better Understanding, Not Just Quick Answers
One of the biggest mistakes students can make with AI learning tools is treating them like a shortcut. AI can deliver quick facts and summaries, but its strength lies in breaking down complex ideas.
Tip: Encourage students to ask AI to explain concepts in multiple ways. For instance:
- “Explain photosynthesis to me like I’m in Grade 5.”
- “Give me three real-life examples of gravity at work.”
This teaches students to question and seek deeper understanding, a vital skill in academic life and beyond.
2. Personalise Learning Through AI Tools
Every child learns differently. Some students retain information better when they watch videos, while others prefer reading or hands-on activities. AI-powered platforms or even adaptive learning tools built into online classrooms can adjust the pace and method of teaching to suit individual needs.
In the classroom: A student who struggles with fractions can get extra practice tailored to their mistakes, while a fast learner might be challenged with more advanced problems.
Shraddha’s Take: Our classrooms are already integrating such tools not to replace teachers, but to enhance their instruction, giving them better insights into how students are learning and where they need support.
The Results Speak for Themselves:
In the recent CBSE Board Exam Results (A.Y. 2024-25), 15 students from Grade X at Shraddha Children’s Academy scored a perfect centum in Artificial Intelligence. A remarkable achievement that reflects not just their dedication but also how effectively AI is being woven into our academic framework. It’s a testament to what’s possible when technology and teaching work hand in hand.
3. Use AI to Spark Creativity
AI isn’t just about numbers and facts; it can also support storytelling, design, and artistic exploration.
Try This:
- Students can use AI image generators to visualise scenes from literature.
- Creative writing projects can begin with AI-generated prompts to overcome writer’s block.
- In science, students can simulate experiments virtually before conducting them in the lab.
By pairing AI learning tools with imagination, students learn how to be creators, not just consumers.
4. Teach Students to Question AI Responses
AI is powerful, but it isn’t perfect. It can occasionally make factual errors or miss nuance.
Key Lesson: Always double-check the information and compare it with textbooks, trusted websites, or teacher guidance.
In our classes at Shraddha, we help students understand how to:
- Identify credible sources
- Recognise AI’s limitations
- Cross-verify AI-generated content
This builds critical thinking, an essential 21st-century skill.
5. Respect Privacy and Use AI Responsibly
Just like with any digital tool, students need to be mindful of what they share and how they use AI.
Digital Citizenship Matters:
- Avoid sharing personal information on AI platforms.
- Understand the terms of use and what data is collected.
- Use AI ethically: not to cheat on homework, but to learn better!
Parents and teachers play a big role in shaping these habits early.
6. Encourage Human-AI Collaboration in Projects
At Shraddha, we’ve seen students use AI to build presentations, summarise research, or even simulate scientific models. But it’s never about letting AI do all the work.
Best Practice: Let students use AI for research or outlining ideas, but encourage them to bring their voice, analysis, and reflections into the final project.
Think of AI as a helpful lab assistant, not a scientist.
7. Don’t Let AI Replace Peer or Teacher Interaction
Learning is social. Discussion, debate, and group work help students build empathy, confidence, and communication skills. While artificial intelligence in learning can be a fantastic support system, it should never replace face-to-face engagement.
Make Time For:
- Peer feedback sessions
- Collaborative brainstorming
- Teacher-guided discussions on AI findings
These moments ensure students remain active, connected participants in their learning journey.
8. Stay Curious and Keep Exploring New Tools
The field of AI in education is evolving. New apps and platforms emerge regularly, many designed specifically for AI for school students. Whether it’s a voice-based learning app, an AI tutor, or a quiz generator, students should be encouraged to try new tools, with guidance.
At Shraddha, we review such tools thoughtfully, integrating only those that align with our curriculum and values.
Looking Ahead: Technology with a heart
The future of education is not about replacing teachers with robots. It’s about equipping students with the tools and mindset to learn smarter, think deeper, and grow stronger, intellectually and emotionally.
We at Shraddha believe that when AI learning tools are used with the right intentions, guided by educators, supported by parents, and explored by students with curiosity, they can unlock incredible growth opportunities.
While AI may offer the “intelligence,” it is the human touch, the spark of a teacher’s encouragement, a parent’s support, a friend’s collaboration, that truly brings learning to life.
Conclusion
Technology will continue to evolve. But at Shraddha Children’s Academy, our focus will remain clear: to raise children who are curious, kind, informed, and future-ready.
We’re committed to creating classrooms that embrace innovation without losing the warmth of human connection. AI helps us extend the reach of personalised learning, make lessons more engaging, and give students the tools they need to thrive in a changing world.
But the heart of learning will always be relationships between students, teachers, and the world around them.
