What About Other AI Tools?

You can certainly use general-purpose AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Google’s Gemini to generate assessment questions. However, these tools require a lot more prompting, manual formatting, and subject-specific input to get the same results. Here are some sample generalized prompts you can try:

• ChatGPT Prompt:

Generate [number] multiple-choice questions and [number] short answer questions for a [ grade level] [subject] lesson on [topic].

• Claude Prompt:

Create a quiz for [grade level] [subject] covering [topic(s)]. Include a mix of question types.

• Gemini Prompt:

Write [number] assessment questions for a [grade level] [subject] unit on [topic]. Include [question types].

While these tools can be helpful (and are extremely powerful), they often lack the teacher-specific customization, formatting, and exportability that TeachShare offers.

Why Choose TeachShare Over General AI Tools?

As a teacher myself, let me give you the rundown on why I prefer TeachShare:

• It's tailored for educators

• It has an easy-to-use interface (and I'm definitely not tech-savvy)

• Has instant formatting and export options

• Has built-in standards alignment

• Saves SO much time with ready-to-use templates
