The return of ‘Mr. Blakemore’ 👨‍🏫

Grateful to put my 50k student loan to good use and step back into the classroom.

It’s been about 9 months since I taught last due to working from home, extending my paternity and a slight change in direction 🙌

Time to bring back the intros…

The name of the game is giving teachers a life they love and i honestly think edu technology can do that.

The fancy AI creators you see can be replicated in things like ChatGPT giving teachers time back.

Over the past month, I’ve been building a growing community that has been working on not just saving time but also increasing accessibility, opportunities and inquiry for students through the platforms demonstrated.

Each week, there’s learning opportunities, collaboration and a community of focus towards a common goal.

Next week, I'm going live on the channel looking into one of the topics you choose below:

Over the past few months, the most common message I’ve received from teachers is straightforward:


"I’m interested in AI and tech, but I’m exhausted by the hype. Where are the actual solutions that help my learners and cut my workload?"


Let’s be honest: AI fatigue is real. Every week there’s a new "groundbreaking" thing to learn or a self-proclaimed expert, who taught for two years a decade ago, telling you how to run your classroom. You don't need high-level theory or another complex system to figure out. You need practical, battle-tested tools that actually support pupils and work in real, everyday teaching environments.


To address this, I’ve spent the last few weeks completely overhauling and expanding
AI & EdTech Made Simple.


The brand-new cohort officially reopens tomorrow.


Having spent a decade in the classroom testing tech, I’ve designed this updated version to bypass the fluff. We’ve added new sections focused strictly on ground-level utility: helping you differentiate for SEND, streamline assessment, and improve pupil outcomes without taking up your evenings.


What’s waiting inside:

Step-by-step AI & EdTech video tutorials built for real classrooms

A curated index of hidden, high-impact free teacher websites

Plug-and-play prompts and templates for planning, SEND, and feedback

Practical workflows across Google, Canva, ChatGPT, and Gemini

Ongoing Q&A support from a community of active educators


If you want direct shortcuts that actually support learning and buy you time back, you can preview the community details ahead of tomorrow's relaunch here: www.skool.com/ai-teacher-tech-made-simple-7886/abo…

The community is growing. The live trainings are flying!

Even during the summer, I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to build my new community for teachers.

Ai Fatigue is real! What’s still real is teachers wanting to know how to use tools efficiently while not forgetting the useful websites that might not be AI too.

That’s why I built the Teacher AI & Edtech Club.

It’s a club full of like-minded individuals.

I’m pausing memberships joining on Sunday so make sure to sneak in before then.
