Prompting Guide: AI Prompts for Teachers
Getting great results with Didaktos is simple. This guide shows you how to write AI prompts for teachers that communicate clearly, so the AI can create exactly what you need. Small improvements in how you describe your request can make a big difference in the quality of the final resource.
1. Start with the Essentials
When asking Didaktos to create a resource, include the key information that defines your teaching context.
- Subject
- Grade or level
- Topic or learning objective
- Type of resource you want
Example: “Create a 6th‑grade science activity about ecosystems.”
In Didaktos, the resource type, subject and grade level have their own fields, so your topic box can focus on what you want to create.
2. Add Helpful Details
The more context you provide, the more accurate and personalized the output will be.
- Classroom needs (mixed abilities, ELL, special education)
- Preferred format (worksheet, quiz, hands‑on activity)
- Time available
- Specific constraints or requirements
Example: “Create a 45‑minute activity for mixed‑ability students with a hands‑on component.”
You can also select a Methodology tag, such as Cooperative or UDL, to shape the activity.
3. Ask for the Style You Want
Didaktos can adapt tone, complexity, and structure to match your teaching style.
- Simple or advanced language
- Formal or friendly tone
- Short or detailed explanations
- Creative or structured approach
Example: “Explain photosynthesis in simple language for 5th graders with a friendly tone.”
Tip: click Improve with AI above the Topic / Instructions box to enrich a short topic with key concepts before you generate.
4. Refine the Output
After Didaktos generates a resource, you can ask for adjustments right in the Didaktos chat. Refining is part of the process.
- “Make it shorter.”
- “Add more examples.”
- “Adapt for students with reading difficulties.”
- “Create a second version with higher difficulty.”
You can iterate as many times as you need until the resource fits your classroom perfectly. Click Edit on the result and use a quick suggestion or type your own request. The Actions bar (Simplify, Create quiz, Create rubric, Translate, Expand) gives you one‑click changes too.
5. Use Smart AI Prompts for Better Results
These patterns work extremely well with Didaktos:
- “Create + level + subject + resource type + topic.”
- “Explain + concept + for + audience.”
- “Generate + activity type + with + constraints.”
- “Transform this text into + resource type.”
Example: “Transform this paragraph into a 10‑question comprehension quiz for 7th grade.”
Paste the text into the Topic / Instructions box, or attach the file with Attach (a Didaktos Pro feature that accepts images, PDF, Word and text files).
6. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Being too vague (“Make something about math”).
- Leaving out the level or grade.
- Not specifying the type of resource.
- Requesting multiple unrelated tasks in one prompt.
Better: “Create a 4th‑grade math worksheet on multiplication with 10 practice problems.”
7. Examples of Effective Prompts
- “Create a 30‑minute reading activity for 3rd grade about animal habitats.”
- “Generate a rubric for a high‑school history project on revolutions.”
- “Explain the water cycle using simple language and a friendly tone.”
- “Turn this PDF into a lesson plan with objectives and activities.” (attach the PDF with Pro)
