Recommended starting points
- Planning a whole lesson: use Lesson Package Generator.
- Creating a printable topic summary: use Knowledge Organiser or Glossary Generator.
- Checking understanding: use Hinge, True/False, SRS or Plenary Generator.
- Supporting accessibility: use Reading Age, TTS, Instruction Simplifier or Scaffold Generator.
- Student absent or removed from class: use Catch-Up, Cover Work or Referral Work Generator.
Tips for best results
For catch-up, cover, TTS and reading-age tasks, upload slides or worksheets to the AI chat before pasting the generated prompt.
Most utilities can cope with extra text, but copying only the JSON response is usually more reliable.
Most final previews allow direct editing. Downloaded versions remove editing and are cleaner for sharing.
AI output should be checked by the teacher, especially for subject knowledge, hyperlinks, mark schemes and safeguarding-sensitive content.
