We’re so glad you’re part of AI For Teachers! 🎉 This is the spot to break the ice and meet other educators who are exploring AI in their classrooms, schools, and homeschools. 👉 How to Introduce Yourself When you post, share a little about: 1. Your name & where you’re from 2. What you teach (or if you homeschool/lead a co-op) 3. One way you hope AI could help you most (example: “grading faster” or “making lessons more engaging”). 4. (Optional but fun!) Something unique about your teaching style or classroom. Example Post: “Hi, I’m Sarah from Texas! I teach 4th-grade reading. I’m hoping AI can help me save time writing parent newsletters. Fun fact: I love using silly voices when I read aloud to my class!” 💡 Remember: This community is about support, not perfection. Whether you’re brand new to AI or already experimenting, you belong here. Can’t wait to meet you all—drop your intro below! 👇 — The AI For Teachers Team

✨ Quick Prompt Challenge: The “Lesson Plan Remix” Imagine you’re a DJ—but instead of music, you’re remixing lesson plans. 🎶📚 Your challenge: Write a prompt that asks AI to turn an ordinary topic (like multiplication tables, the water cycle, or Shakespeare) into a lesson in a completely unexpected style. Examples: - Teach the water cycle as if it were a cooking show. 🍳 - Explain fractions through a superhero comic. 🦸 - Explore Shakespeare like it’s a reality TV show. 📺 👉 Post your remix prompt and share the AI’s wild response. 👉 Extra fun: vote on the most “unexpected yet teachable” remix.

We’ve got a full week ahead with some great resources and ways to practice using AI: 🎥 Wednesday, Sept 10 - I’ll be releasing the recording from our first Lesson Plan Jam! If you couldn’t make it live, this is your chance to catch the walkthrough + Q&A on prompting and lesson plan building. 💡 Thursday, Sept 11 - Join us in the Prompt Clinic forum for a quick Prompt Challenge—a fun way to sharpen your skills and see how others are using AI creatively. 📄 Friday, Sept 12 - New PDF resource drop to help you save time and get practical with AI in your classroom. 🙋‍♀️ All Week Long - Don’t forget, the AI Questions section is always open! If you’re stuck, curious, or experimenting, post your questions there so the community can jump in and support you. Let’s keep learning together and making teaching lighter + more creative with AI 🚀

Big news—we just added a Khanmigo walkthrough! 🎉 Look in the classroom Tab under "Free Trainings"! If you’ve been curious about how Khan Academy’s AI tutor works (and how it can support you and your students), this walkthrough will give you: ✅ A tour of Khanmigo’s features ✅ Examples of how teachers are using it in real classrooms Khanmigo is one of the most teacher-friendly AI tools out there, and this walkthrough will help you see how it might fit into your own teaching. 👉 Check it out now in the classroom section, and let us know in the comments: Would you use Khanmigo with your students—or more as a planning assistant for yourself?

Yesterday, we had planned to release the video + PDF on how to create PDFs and diagrams with GPT-5. We didn’t hit “publish”—and I want to explain why. The truth is, we don’t yet have a solid, repeatable process for this. We could have shared something rough, but we don’t want to give you a half-baked resource that causes more confusion than clarity. ✨ Our goal is always to deliver practical, consistent tools that you can actually rely on in your classroom. That said, I don’t want to leave you hanging! I’ll drop the results we’ve had so far (link below 👇) so you can see what’s possible. Just know: we’re still refining it into a step-by-step process that works every time. Thank you for your patience and for being part of this journey with us. We’d rather take a little extra time than deliver something that isn’t truly helpful. 💛
