Tips for best results
The better the lesson focus, the more useful the output.
Saved context saves time, but check the utility's options before generating.
AI output should always be checked by the teacher, especially for subject knowledge, calculations, hyperlinks, mark schemes, safeguarding and suitability for the class.
Many resources can be adjusted before downloading. This is often quicker than regenerating.
PowerPoint is best for whole-class display, Word/PDF for printing or sharing, and HTML for interactive whiteboard activities.
Do not enter identifiable pupil data. For sensitive school work, use approved school systems and follow school policy.
