Generate content
With all of the planning that teachers must do, AI can ease that burden. You can create things like lesson plans, class activities, and academic papers faster and easier with artificial intelligence.
Using Plus AI for Google Docs, you can enter a simple prompt or use a preset to obtain the content you need. For example, here we have a water cycle lesson plan for a fifth-grade level.
The plan includes learning objectives, details on standards, required materials, instructions, and assignment methods, all for a comprehensive lesson plan.
Build presentations
As you probably know, manually creating a slideshow is a time-consuming process. Whether for students, fellow faculty members, or the school board, you can take advantage of AI for assembling informational content and complementary images.
For a kindergarten class, we built this presentation about dinosaurs using Plus AI for PowerPoint.
This slideshow covers basics like what is a dinosaur along with information on dinosaur sounds, fossils, and extinction geared toward the selected grade level. It also provides fun activities for the topic and Plus tips for enhancing the slides.
Create supplemental materials
Along with plans, activities, and presentations comes those supplementary materials you need. This can include items like quizzes, project instructions, classroom rules, and research resources.
With Plus AI for Google Slides, we created this basic math operations quiz complete with equations and tips.
We also made this quiz specific to LaTeX equations using Plus AI for Google Docs.
Using simple prompts, Plus creates both types of presentable quiz materials which you can easily edit or update to suit your class and student skill level. You can also convert existing slideshows to quizzes!
Teach in a different language
With many technological advances over time, it’s now easier than ever to work with those around the globe. So, when it comes to education, teachers can use automated translators to expand their reach.
When preparing course materials, you can use the built-in translation feature offered by Plus AI. This feature is available for Google Slides and Docs along with PowerPoint for quick and easy translations of existing content.
You just select the text or slide you want to translate and pick the language. As a bonus, you can translate the entire presentation in only a few steps.
Additional AI assistance
Along with the above ways to use AI for education are additional tasks and activities that teachers can benefit from in their positions.
Automate tasks: Along with creating lesson plans, you can automate the grading process and other tasks like making flashcards for your students.
Personalize learning: For students with learning disabilities or who live in another locale, you can tailor their experience.
Provide extra support: You and your students can use AI tools for additional support, research, and resources.
