IRL PLAYground for Teachers
IRL PLAYground for Teachers is the first module of the PLAYground ecosystem, transforming classrooms into adaptive environments where play, learning, and AI converge.
The platform does not present AI as an external tool, but as a system embedded within the everyday rhythms of teaching and learning. By reducing administrative burden and opening adaptive pathways for students, it enables classrooms to operate as living ecologies of knowledge, care, and experimentation.
Why It Matters
Education is too often fragmented by standardisation and weighed down by administration. Conventional edtech amplifies this by flattening complexity into dashboards and metrics. IRL PLAYground for Teachers reframes technology as a way to sustain complexity rather than erase it, creating classrooms that are adaptive, resilient, and open to negotiation.
Our Approach
The platform provides:
- Adaptive environments that respond in real time to student needs.
- Safe model training tools, allowing teachers to shape AI in ways aligned with their values.
- Administrative automation that frees time for pedagogy.
- Integration with distributors and content providers, embedding classrooms into wider infrastructures of knowledge and resources.
The Ambition
IRL PLAYground for Teachers forms the groundwork for the broader ecosystem. By beginning with classrooms, IRL positions schools as critical entry points where technology, pedagogy, and infrastructure can be re-aligned. It demonstrates how education technology can operate as an ecology, sustaining the entanglement of teachers, students, distributors, and communities.
