Why Teachers Are Trying AI in 2025?
More than ever, teachers are expected to do more with less: less time, fewer resources, and increasingly diverse classrooms. That’s why AI tools built for teachers, like TeachShare, are gaining traction. But what if you're not "techy"? That’s okay!! You don’t need to be.
This guide breaks down:
What AI for teachers even means
How to get started with zero training
What to try first
And how TeachShare compares to ChatGPT
What Is AI for Teachers?
AI for teachers refers to tools that utilize artificial intelligence to help automate tasks like:
Lesson planning
Differentiation (for SPED, ELL, gifted)
Worksheet generation
Standards alignment
Resource formatting
TeachShare does all of these with no prompt engineering required.
How to Use AI If You’re Not “Techy”?
Worried AI means you’ll need to code or write complicated instructions?
Here’s what TeachShare actually looks like:
Step | What You Do | What the AI Does |
1 | Type in a topic: “Main Idea” | Understands your subject |
2 | Select your grade level | Matches content complexity |
3 | Choose a teaching purpose | Builds activity type: quiz, worksheet, exit ticket |
4 | Click Generate | AI creates a standards-aligned, editable worksheet |
That’s it. No copy/pasting, no setup, no ChatGPT-style guessing.
What to Try First (Checklist for Beginners):
Here are easy, low-risk ways to explore AI in your classroom:
Create a reading comprehension sheet for tomorrow’s lesson
Build a math practice set with three difficulty levels
Generate a warm-up or exit ticket
Convert your existing slide topic into a printable activity
Try ELL/MTSS differentiation settings
