AI Toolboxes for Educators: Work Smarter, Teach Better

Many educators know AI can save time and improve teaching, but most are only tapping into a small fraction of its potential. Relying on general-purpose tools like ChatGPT or Copilot often limits AI use to basic prompting, leaving instructors unsure how to apply it to real instructional and administrative work in meaningful, efficient ways. As new tools appear almost daily, the challenge isn’t access—it’s knowing which platforms truly add value and how to use them responsibly.

In this 20-Minute Mentor, you’ll explore how education-specific AI platforms go beyond general tools to support authentic teaching needs. You’ll see how MagicSchool, Brisk, and Teacher Server AI offer free, educator-focused features for lesson planning, quiz creation, feedback, tutoring support, and more—freeing up time while improving learning quality. This program also equips you with a practical framework for evaluating AI tools as they emerge, helping you choose the right solution for the job and integrate AI thoughtfully and ethically into your teaching practice.
