We are an international team of educators, researchers, and technology experts from eight Nordic and Baltic countries, collaborating across all levels of education. Together, we are creating a practical online book of AI use in education, combining real classroom examples, tested methodologies, and critical reflections on what works and what does not. Our team brings expertise from universities, schools, teacher training institutions, and GeoGebra Institutes, ensuring strong links between research, practice, and innovation. Our shared goal is to support teachers and educational leaders with concrete, transferable practices for responsible and effective AI-enhanced learning.
