Harnessing the Power of AI for Lesson Planning and Delivery

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will understand how teachers can use AI to enhance lesson planning and delivery, as well as discover useful websites and apps to reduce staff workload.

What do you already know about using AI to assist teachers in lesson planning and delivery?

What is AI?

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, which refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think and learn like humans. It can analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions.

AI in Lesson Planning

Teachers can use AI-powered tools to analyze student data, identify learning gaps, and suggest personalized learning paths. These tools can also generate lesson plans based on curriculum standards and individual student needs.

AI in Lesson Delivery

During lessons, AI can assist teachers by providing real-time feedback, adapting content to students' pace, and offering additional resources for further exploration. It can also facilitate interactive activities and simulations.

Websites for Planning

Websites like Planboard, Common Curriculum, and Planbook can help teachers organize lesson plans, share resources, and collaborate with colleagues. These platforms often offer customizable templates and integration with other tools.

Apps for Assessment

Apps like Kahoot, Quizizz, and Socrative can streamline the assessment process by providing interactive quizzes, surveys, and formative assessments. They offer instant feedback, data analysis, and easy grading.

Reducing Staff Workload

Using AI-powered platforms like Edmodo, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams can streamline administrative tasks, such as assignment distribution, grading, and communication with students and parents.

Putting It into Practice

Now that you know how AI can assist in lesson planning and delivery, as well as reduce staff workload, it's time to explore these tools and try incorporating them into your teaching practice.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
