Resource Library

TIRF’s AI Show & Tell initiative—introduced as a practical, educator-driven exploration of AI in English language teaching—now features a growing library of short videos and accompanying scorecards available on the TIRF website. Through these resources, educators from diverse contexts demonstrate tools such as ResearchRabbit, Atlas, TurboScribe, Connected Papers, and others, offering concrete classroom applications alongside structured “Teacher Review Cards” that highlight each tool’s key features, best uses, limitations, and instructional value. This video features a webinar hosted by four of TIRF's AIstronauts, who build on their insights and engage directly with webinar participants.
