Questions
Frequently asked
Is the guide really free?
Yes — completely free. No credit card, no form. Click the download button and it opens straight away.
Is this Australian research?
The underlying survey is US-based (Wisconsin, plus a national sample) — we say so plainly in the guide. The pattern it identifies is one Australian teachers will recognise regardless.
How long will it take to read?
About 10 minutes. Six short pages, built to read over a coffee and walk away with something you can use this week.
Do I need to be an AI expert to use it?
No. It's written for classroom teachers, not IT departments — plain language, no jargon, nothing to install.
