Welcome to Mr F’s AI Classroom: Teaching Smarter in 2026

Welcome to the very first episode of Mr F’s AI Classroom.

This podcast is for teachers, leaders, and educators who want to understand how artificial intelligence fits into real classrooms, without the hype, fear, or unrealistic promises.

In this opening episode, Mr F introduces the purpose of the podcast and sets out a clear vision for how AI should be used in education: as a professional partner that supports thinking, planning, and inclusion, not as a shortcut or a replacement for teachers.

You will hear what this podcast is not about, what it is here to challenge, and how it connects directly to the forthcoming book Mr F’s Classroom Prompts Unleashed.

In this episode, you will explore:

• Why AI in education should be treated as a form of literacy, not a novelty
• How poor prompts lead to poor outcomes, and why this is not the fault of the tool
• The principle of Garbage In, Garbage Out and how it applies to lesson planning
• How better prompts start with better teacher thinking
• Why context, nuance, and professional judgement still matter more than automation
