Form Fields Explained
What to put in each field for the best results
Resource Type Required
The tool selector. When you change tools, the output format adjusts automatically. Always select your tool before writing the topic.
Subject Required
The subject area — shapes vocabulary, examples, and conventions in the output.
ELA · Mathematics · Science · Social Studies · Art · PE
Grade Level Required
The AI automatically adjusts reading level, vocabulary complexity, and examples to match.
Kindergarten · Elementary (1-3) · Middle School · High School
Context / Standard Optional
Select a US curriculum framework and the AI will explicitly reference it in the output. See Section 8.
Common Core ELA · NGSS · TEKS · Florida BEST
Methodology Optional
Color-tagged pedagogical approach. Selecting one embeds those principles throughout the resource.
PBL · Cooperative Learning · UDL · Gamification · SEL · STEM
Output Format Auto
Auto-selected based on the tool (green badge = auto). Plain Text is ideal for Word. CSV is ideal for rubrics and tables that will go into Excel.
Topic / Instructions Required
The most important field. Be specific: include the unit, key concepts, focus, and special instructions. You can also paste existing content here.
Figurative language for 5th grade ELA. Focus on simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole. Connect to the novel “Bridge to Terabithia.” Emphasize author’s craft over identification only.
“Improve with AI” Button
Next to the Topic field there’s an “Improve with AI” button. Write a basic topic (e.g., “fractions”), click it, and the AI enriches your description automatically with subtopics, concepts, and grade-appropriate depth.
Attach Files (Images or PDFs)
Attach images or PDFs as reference sources. For example, photograph a page from your textbook and ask the AI to build a quiz from that specific content. Max file size: 5 MB.

US Curriculum Standards
Aligning your resources to national and state frameworks
When you select a standard, the AI incorporates that framework directly — referencing specific standards, using aligned vocabulary, and structuring content accordingly.
Common Core ELACommon Core Math
NGSS (Science)TEKS (Texas)
Florida BESTMSCHE (Higher Ed)
Common Core ELA
Aligns reading, writing, speaking, and language objectives to CCSS grade-level standards. Best for lesson plans, reading passages, and writing rubrics.
Common Core Math
Structures content around the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice. Ideal for lesson plans, problem sets, and Bloom-aligned assessments.
NGSS
Incorporates the three dimensions (Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, Science & Engineering Practices) into science resources.
TEKS (Texas)
Aligns to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The AI references TEKS knowledge statements and skills in objectives and assessments.
Pro tip for tight alignment
Combine the Standard selector with specific topic instructions. For example: “Main idea and supporting details — CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.2 — using informational texts about ecosystems.” The AI will explicitly cite and address that anchor standard.

Pro Tips
What experienced users learn after a few sessions
1
Be specific in the Topic field
Instead of “fractions,” write “introduction to proper and improper fractions for 5th grade, connecting to pizza and recipes, emphasis on visual representation.” Context = quality.
2
Use “Improve with AI” before generating
Write a basic topic, click improve, review the enriched description, then generate. The quality difference — especially for complex lesson plans — is consistently significant.
3
Chain tools for a complete set
Lesson Plan → “Create Quiz” → “Create Rubric.” Three aligned, coherent resources from one topic in three clicks.
4
Select your state’s standard
Choosing Common Core, NGSS, or TEKS makes the AI explicitly cite and address those standards — valuable for formal planning documents and evaluations.
5
Save templates for recurring classes
Save your 5th Grade ELA configuration as a template. Next time, just change the topic and generate — everything else is pre-filled.
6
Attach your classroom materials
Photograph a textbook page and attach it. The AI bases the resource on your exact content rather than general knowledge.
7
Use editing to calibrate timing
If a lesson plan is too long, open the editing panel and type “Adapt this for a 45-minute class” or click the “Reduce to 30 min” chip.
8
Use Translate for ELL families
Generate a parent letter in English, then click “Translate” for the Spanish version. Both stay in history for download. No need to create two documents.
