We build AI tools for teachers. Monsha is on this list. So before you read further, you should know: four of the six articles currently ranking for "best AI tools for teachers" were written by tool companies that placed their own product at number one. We could have done the same thing. Instead, we organized this guide by the job you actually need done and included honest limitations for every tool here, ours included.
Here's what we found after testing and comparing them all.
You've seen the pattern. But the self-promotion isn't even the biggest problem with those articles.
The real issue is that they don't help you choose. One competitor lists 50 tools with a sentence each. You finish reading and still don't know which one to try for your 4th-grade math class. Another promises "the complete guide" but skips pricing details entirely. A third claims every tool "saves 10-15 hours per week" without explaining what that actually looks like on a Tuesday morning.
And none of them mention what happens when the AI generates something unusable. Research published on Edutopia found that AI-generated lessons largely failed to include multicultural or diverse content and mostly activated lower-order thinking skills like memorization. That's worth talking about, so we do, later in this guide.
Here's how to use this article. Tools are sorted into five categories based on what you need to get done: lesson planning, resource creation, grading and feedback, general AI assistants, and student-facing tools. Skip to the category that matches your biggest time problem. Every entry covers what the tool does well, where it falls short, the free tier, and the paid price. A comparison table at the end puts everything side by side.
Before you jump to a category, three questions will save you from signing up for tools you'll never use.
Each section below covers a different type of teaching work: lesson planning, resource creation, grading and feedback, general AI assistants, and student-facing tools. You don't need a tool from every category. Pick the one that matches your biggest time problem right now. If you spend Sunday nights building lesson plans from scratch, start with lesson planning. If you're buried in essay feedback, skip straight to grading.
If a tool doesn't connect to Google Classroom or your district's LMS, skip it. Teachers consistently describe integration as a dealbreaker, not a bonus. A tool that generates a solid lesson plan but exports it in a format you can't upload to Canvas doesn't save you time. You're just adding a step.
Most teachers pay for classroom tools out of pocket. The objection "the free version is too limited, and I can't justify paying $15-20/month" comes up in nearly every teacher discussion about AI tools. So every entry in this guide flags the free tier and what it actually includes, plus the paid price. ChatGPT, for example, now offers free GPT-4o access for verified US K-12 educators through June 2027. Canva for Education is free for verified teachers. Several purpose-built tools have usable free tiers too, while others gate their best features behind subscriptions.
The comparison table at the end of this article puts pricing, free tiers, and LMS compatibility side by side for every tool listed.
Lesson planning is where most teachers feel the time crunch hardest. Kristen Starnes, a classroom teacher interviewed by EdWeek, put it simply: "I see it very much as a way to free up time and energy that used to just be sucked up trying to find readings and sources." That matches what the data shows. Teachers who use AI weekly report saving roughly 5.9 hours per week, and lesson planning is where most of those hours come back.
Generic AI tools like ChatGPT can brainstorm lesson ideas, but they don't understand your state standards, your pacing guide, or the difference between a 45-minute block and an 80-minute block. Purpose-built lesson planners do. Here are the strongest options. (For a deeper breakdown, see our full guide to AI lesson planning tools.)
MagicSchool is the tool you'll see on every list, and for good reason. Over 3 million educators have used it, and the platform now includes 80+ education-specific tools covering everything from lesson plans to IEP drafts to parent email generators. You pick a tool, enter your topic and grade level, and MagicSchool generates a first draft you can edit. The Google Classroom integration is solid, and MagicSchool is FERPA compliant, which matters if your district requires a privacy review. The downside? The sheer number of tools can feel overwhelming when you just want a lesson plan. And the output still needs your professional judgment. Ask MagicSchool to build a lesson on the American Revolution for 8th graders, and the plan might be structurally sound but generic enough to work for any topic. You'll want to add the specific activities and source materials that make it yours.
Best for: Teachers who want one platform that covers lesson planning, assessments, IEPs, and admin tasks
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: all 80+ tools with monthly generation limits; only your last 5 outputs saved. Paid: Plus at $8.33/month (billed annually) for unlimited generations and full history. Enterprise pricing available for districts.
Integrations: Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology
Eduaide takes a different approach. Instead of dozens of standalone tools, you work inside a single workspace with over 100 resource types organized into generators, organizers, and games. You start with a learning objective or a set of standards, and Eduaide produces lesson plans, assessments, graphic organizers, and discussion activities from that starting point. An AI chat assistant is built right into the workspace, so you can ask it to adjust a reading level or brainstorm extension activities without leaving the page. The tool supports over 15 languages, which is useful if you're teaching multilingual learners or working in an international school.
Best for: Teachers who prefer a single workspace over jumping between standalone tools
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 15 generations per month with core features. Paid: Pro at $5.99/month or $49.99/year for unlimited access. Enterprise options available for schools.
Integrations: Web-based; no direct LMS integration confirmed
Monsha covers the full planning journey, from courses to units to individual lessons to the resources you need to teach them. You select your curriculum standards, set a grade level and subject, and the platform builds a structured plan you can edit section by section. When you're ready to teach, you can generate worksheets, handouts, and presentations from the same plan without switching tools. The approach works well for teachers who want planning and resource creation in one place. Where Monsha falls short: the AI can drift from your specified topic, and the resource creation tools (covered in the next section) still have formatting rough edges to work through.
Best for: Teachers who want lesson planning and resource creation (worksheets, handouts, slides) in a single platform
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 500 AI credits per month. Paid: Pro at $20/month or $120/year for unlimited usage and full feature access. School/district licensing available.
Integrations: Google Classroom, Google Slides, PDF export, Google Drive, Microsoft Office, OneDrive, Schoology, Canvas, Kahoot, Quizlet, Blooket, etc.
Kuraplan focuses purely on lesson planning. You choose your country's curriculum (US, Australian, or UK standards), enter your subject and grade, and Kuraplan generates a standards-aligned lesson plan. The tool also produces unit plans with connected lessons and learning progressions, which is helpful if you're mapping out a full term rather than planning week by week. Kuraplan is a newer platform with a smaller user base than MagicSchool or Eduaide, so the community resources and third-party integrations are still catching up. But the focus on curriculum alignment across multiple countries sets it apart for teachers outside the US.
Best for: Teachers outside the US who need curriculum-aligned plans for Australian, UK, or US standards
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: limited monthly generations. Paid: Pro plan available; see current pricing at kuraplan.com.
Integrations: Web-based; no confirmed LMS integrations
Planning a lesson is one thing. Building the worksheet, the slide deck, the reading passage at three different levels for tomorrow morning: that's where Sunday evening disappears. As teacher Liz Voci put it, "I'm able to meet students where they're at. I can create materials for different learning levels without spending hours." The difference between resource creation tools comes down to format. A block of AI-generated text you still have to copy into a Google Doc and reformat is not a resource. A printable PDF, a ready-to-assign Google Slides deck, or an interactive lesson students can open on their devices is.
Here are the tools that produce materials you can actually hand out or assign.
Diffit does one job better than anything else on this list: it takes any text, article, or YouTube video and adapts it to multiple reading levels. You paste in a passage about the water cycle, pick your grade bands, and Diffit generates versions for your struggling readers and your advanced students from the same source. Vocabulary lists and comprehension questions come with each version automatically. If you teach multilingual learners, Diffit supports over 60 languages for translations and bilingual adaptations. The free tier covers most of what you need for daily use.
Best for: Teachers who differentiate reading materials across multiple levels in the same class
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: core features with standard word limits. Paid: Premium at $14.99/month for increased limits and enhanced exports. First-year teachers get their first year free (through June 2026). School/district flat-rate annual pricing available.
Integrations: Google Classroom, PDF and Google Docs export
Brisk lives inside your browser. You install the Chrome or Edge extension, and 30+ AI tools show up directly inside Google Docs, Slides, Forms, and Classroom. No new tab, no new login. Need to turn a YouTube video into a quiz? You do it from the YouTube page itself. Want to give writing feedback on a student's Google Doc? Brisk adds a sidebar right there in the document. The "Inspect Writing" feature is worth calling out: it replays how a student actually wrote their work, which helps when you suspect copy-paste. Brisk also holds a 93% Common Sense Privacy Rating, the highest among AI teacher tools, with FERPA, COPPA, and SOC 2 compliance on top of that.
Best for: Teachers who live in Google Workspace and want AI tools without leaving their existing apps
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 23 core tools with usage limits. Paid: pricing not publicly listed; see plans at briskteaching.com. School/district custom pricing available.
Integrations: Google Classroom, Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Forms, Canvas, YouTube
Most teachers already use Canva for something. The education version is 100% free for verified K-12 teachers, with no paywall on any feature, including the AI tools. Magic Write generates text for worksheets and handouts. Magic Design builds a full slide layout from a single prompt or an uploaded image. Magic Activities suggests interactive elements like Venn diagrams and thinking frameworks based on your learning objectives. If you need a polished presentation for a 7th-grade science unit, an infographic breaking down the branches of government, or a visually clean worksheet that doesn't look like it was made in 2003, Canva handles the design side better than any education-specific AI tool on this list.
Best for: Teachers who need visually polished resources (presentations, infographics, worksheets) without design skills
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 100% free for verified K-12 teachers, students, and school districts. No paid tier required for education accounts.
Integrations: Google Classroom, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, LTI integration for most LMS platforms
Monsha's resource tools pick up where its lesson planner leaves off. Once you have a lesson plan built, you can generate worksheets, handouts, and presentations from the same interface without switching platforms. The worksheet generator lets you set grade level, subject, and question types, then exports to PDF. The presentation creator pushes directly to Google Slides. For teachers who already use Monsha for planning (see also our in-depth guide to AI lesson planning tools), keeping resource creation in the same workflow saves the back-and-forth. The honest caveat: the worksheet generator sometimes produces formatting issues where images get cut off at borders, or the AI generates content on a different topic than what you typed in. Those are known issues, so check your output before you assign it. You can explore the full set of tools at monsha.ai/ai-tools-for-teachers.
Best for: Teachers already using Monsha for lesson planning who want resource creation in the same workflow
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 500 AI credits per month. Paid: Pro at $20/month or $120/year for unlimited usage. School/district licensing available.
Integrations: Google Classroom, Google Slides, PDF export, Google Drive, Microsoft Office, OneDrive, Schoology, Canvas, Kahoot, Quizlet, Blooket, and many more.
Curipod takes a different angle on classroom resources. Instead of printable materials, Curipod generates interactive presentations with built-in student participation. You describe a topic and learning objective, and Curipod builds a lesson with slides, polls, open-ended questions, word clouds, and drawing activities. Students respond on their own devices during the lesson, and you see their answers in real time. The AI feedback feature generates a "Glow and Grow" summary for each student response, highlighting what they did well and where to push further. Curipod is strongest when you want the classroom moment itself to be more active and visible. If you need a stack of printable worksheets for tomorrow, look at the other tools in this section instead.
Best for: Teachers who want interactive, student-response-driven lessons rather than static handouts
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: standard classroom use with limited AI features. Paid: Premium at $7.50/month (billed annually) or $9/month (monthly). School/district pricing available on request.
Integrations: Web-based; works on any device with a browser
Here's the math nobody wants to do. Fifteen minutes to grade a single essay. Multiply that by 150 students. One assignment costs you 37.5 hours.
AI grading tools don't replace your judgment. What they do is generate a first pass of feedback based on your rubric, so you're reviewing and refining comments instead of writing every one from scratch. The savings are "I got my evenings back" real, not "I pressed a button and grading disappeared" real. The question to ask before picking a tool: does it actually apply your rubric, or does it invent its own criteria and hope you don't notice?
CoGrader connects to Google Classroom or Canvas, pulls in student essays, and grades them against your rubric. You upload your own rubric or have CoGrader generate one, then review the AI's scores and feedback before anything goes back to students. CoGrader identifies thesis weaknesses, flags unsupported claims, and notes organizational issues in language students can act on. For teachers in Texas, Florida, or California, CoGrader offers state-specific rubric templates aligned to TEKS, B.E.S.T., and CAASPP standards. According to CoGrader's own data, the tool scores within three points of human graders 73% of the time. Useful as a starting point, not a substitute for reading the work yourself.
Best for: ELA teachers grading essays through Google Classroom or Canvas who want rubric-based first-pass feedback
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 100 submissions/month with core grading features. Paid: $15/month for higher limits and additional analytics. Schools & Districts tier adds Canvas/Schoology integration, AI detection, and shared rubric libraries.
Integrations: Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology (district tier)
Gradescope was built for universities, and it shows. The platform handles handwritten math solutions, lab reports, and programming assignments across Python, Java, C++, and more. AI-assisted answer grouping lets you grade similar responses in batches instead of one at a time. If you teach AP Physics, AP Calculus, or any course where students submit handwritten problem sets, Gradescope's workflow fits. For a typical K-12 English or social studies teacher grading essays, CoGrader or EduSage AI will be a better match. Gradescope's per-student pricing also makes it harder to justify without district support.
Best for: STEM teachers (especially AP and upper-level courses) grading handwritten work, problem sets, and code
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: limited free tier for individual instructors. Paid: Basic at $1/student, Team and Solo plans at $3/student, institutional plans at $5-$15/student/month. See current pricing at gradescope.com.
Integrations: Canvas, Blackboard, Sakai, LTI-compatible LMS platforms
EduSage AI covers more ground than a dedicated essay grader. You can run essays, coding assignments, and structured exams through the same platform. The rubric generator builds grading criteria from your assignment description, and a built-in plagiarism and AI-content detector means you don't need a separate Turnitin subscription. EduSage claims teachers reduce their grading time from 10-15 hours per week down to 2-4 hours. That's their number, not independently verified, but the free tier is generous enough that you can test the claim yourself before paying. With 200 evaluations per month on the free plan, most teachers can grade several full class sets without spending anything.
Best for: Teachers grading a mix of assignment types (essays, coding, exams) who want grading, feedback, and plagiarism detection in one platform
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 200 evaluations/month with core features. Paid: Premium at $25/month for additional evaluations and priority support. Enterprise pricing available for institutions.
Integrations: Google Classroom
The tools above are built for specific teaching jobs. General-purpose AI is not. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude don't understand rubrics, can't align to state standards, and won't export a formatted worksheet. But they're free (or close to it), already familiar to most teachers, and surprisingly useful for the work that happens before and around the structured tools: brainstorming unit themes, drafting parent emails, explaining a concept three different ways, summarizing a dense PDF into a one-page study guide. The key is knowing where general AI earns its keep and where you need something purpose-built.
ChatGPT is the tool most teachers try first, and OpenAI made that easier with a free Teachers plan for verified US K-12 educators. You get unlimited access to GPT-4o, file uploads, image generation, web search, voice mode, and custom GPTs, all through June 2027. The verification process uses SheerID and takes a few minutes. Where ChatGPT shines is open-ended work: generating discussion questions for a 7th grade novel study, drafting a parent communication about a field trip, or building a list of formative assessment strategies for a reluctant reader. Where it falls short is anything requiring standards alignment, rubric-based output, or classroom-ready formatting. You'll get ideas, not finished products.
Best for: Teachers who want a flexible brainstorming and drafting tool for tasks that don't require standards alignment or formatted output
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: Teachers plan for verified US K-12 educators (unlimited GPT-4o through June 2027). Standard free tier available globally with daily limits. Paid: Plus at $20/month, Pro at $200/month.
Integrations: No direct LMS integration. Works via copy-paste or the ChatGPT API.

If your school runs on Google Workspace, Gemini is already in your toolkit. Google rolled out Gemini features across all Education editions in early 2026, so teachers on even the free Education Fundamentals tier now get Gemini in Gmail for drafting emails and summarizing threads. Education Plus and Teaching & Learning subscribers get more: Gemini in Docs for generating content, Slides for creating images and presentations, and Forms for building assessments with AI-summarized responses. The advantage is zero context-switching. You're writing a lesson plan in Docs, and Gemini is right there. The disadvantage is the same as ChatGPT: Gemini doesn't know your standards, your pacing guide, or your students.
Best for: Teachers in Google Workspace schools who want AI built into the tools they already use dailyKey features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: Gemini in Gmail included with Education Fundamentals. Expanded features included with Education Plus ($5/student/year for districts). AI Pro for Education add-on for premium features. See current pricing at edu.google.com.
Integrations: Native to Google Classroom, Docs, Slides, Forms, Gmail, Meet, Drive.
If your school is considering the AI Pro add-on, see our take on whether Gemini for Education is worth it.
Claude is less familiar to most teachers than ChatGPT or Gemini, but it handles long-form work and nuanced explanations better than either. Upload a 50-page curriculum document, and Claude will summarize it, identify gaps, and suggest revisions with specific page references. The Projects feature lets you upload a full course's worth of materials, then ask Claude to critique, adapt, or differentiate them for different learners. Anthropic's partnership with Teach For All reaches 100,000+ teachers across 63 countries, and the top use case among educators is developing curricula. The free tier has daily limits that run out quickly during heavy planning sessions, but there's enough to test the workflow before committing to $20/month.
Best for: Teachers working with long documents (curriculum maps, IEP drafts, grant applications) who need detailed analysis and nuanced writing
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: daily usage limits on web, iOS, Android, and desktop. Paid: Pro at $20/month for higher limits and additional features. Institutional pricing available for schools and districts.
Integrations: No direct LMS integration. Works via copy-paste or API.
NotebookLM works differently from the other tools in this section. You don't ask it general questions. You upload your own documents (a textbook chapter, a slide deck, a set of readings) and NotebookLM becomes an expert on that material only. Everything it produces traces back to your uploaded sources, which means no hallucinated facts and no invented citations. For a 10th grade history teacher preparing a unit on the Cold War, you upload your primary source documents and readings, and NotebookLM generates study guides, flashcards, quizzes, and an Audio Overview where two AI hosts discuss and explain the material in a podcast format. The Google Classroom integration lets you pull in assigned resources directly. For a deeper walkthrough, see Monsha's full guide to NotebookLM for teachers.
Best for: Teachers who want AI grounded in their own materials with zero hallucination risk
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: 100 notebooks, 50 sources per notebook, 3 Audio Overviews per day. Paid: NotebookLM Plus included with Google AI Pro for Education (district pricing varies).
Integrations: Google Classroom, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides.
Everything above is built for you, the teacher. The tools in this section are different. They're designed for students to use directly, with you watching from the dashboard.
That distinction matters. Seventy percent of teachers worry about AI's impact on critical thinking, and the concern is reasonable. A student who pastes a prompt into ChatGPT and copies the answer hasn't learned anything. The tools here take a different approach: Socratic questioning instead of direct answers, guardrails you set before students log in, and transcripts you can review after every session. The real question is whether you can see what students are doing with it.
Khan Academy built Khanmigo as a tutor that refuses to give answers. Ask it to solve a 9th grade algebra equation, and Khanmigo asks you back: "What's the first step you think we should take?" That Socratic approach is the whole point. Students work through problems with guided questioning instead of copying solutions, and you can track their progress through a dashboard that shows which concepts each student is mastering and where they're stuck. Khanmigo for Teachers is free for educators worldwide, thanks to a partnership with Microsoft. The platform is COPPA and FERPA compliant, which makes the district approval conversation easier. The catch: you can't grant students direct access to Khanmigo from your account. Classroom use requires a school or district partnership with Khan Academy.
Best for: Teachers who want a student-facing AI tutor that guides thinking instead of giving answers
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: Khanmigo for Teachers is free for all educators. Learner access: $4/month or $44/year for individual students and parents. District pricing available through Khan Academy partnerships.Integrations: Works within the Khan Academy platform. No direct LMS integration, but Khan Academy assignments can be linked from Google Classroom or Canvas.
If the district-partnership requirement is a barrier, see alternatives to Khanmigo that work for individual classrooms.
You probably already know Kahoot. The game-based quiz format has been a classroom staple for years, and Kahoot's AI features now let you skip the manual question-writing. Paste a topic, upload a document, or scan handwritten notes, and Kahoot's AI generator builds a quiz from your content. For a 5th grade teacher running a quick review of the water cycle before a test, you can have a playable kahoot ready in under a minute. The AI-generated questions work well for low-stakes formative checks, vocabulary review, and exit tickets. For anything requiring higher-order thinking or scenario-based assessment, you'll need to edit the questions yourself. Kahoot's strength is engagement, not depth.
Best for: Teachers who want fast, AI-generated quizzes for formative assessment and classroom engagement
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: basic quiz creation and hosting for teachers. Paid: Kahoot+ starts at $3.99/month per teacher, Premier at $7.99/month, Max at $9.99/month. School and district pricing available.
Integrations: Works in any browser. Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and major LMS platforms.
SchoolAI is built around one idea: give students access to AI while giving you full control over what that AI can do. You create a Space for your class, set the subject focus, write custom instructions, and define guardrails before any student logs in. Students interact with Dot, SchoolAI's AI assistant, within the boundaries you've set. SchoolAI records every conversation and your dashboard summarizes what each student knows, where they're stuck, and what they're interested in. For a 3rd grade teacher using Spaces for reading comprehension, you can restrict the AI to only discuss the assigned story and require it to ask follow-up questions instead of giving away answers. Over 1 million classrooms across 400+ districts already use the platform, and SchoolAI holds FERPA and COPPA compliance along with SOC 2 certification.
Best for: Teachers who want student-facing AI with full control over content, guardrails, and conversation visibility
Key features:
Limitations:
Pricing: Free: essential AI tools, up to 50 student sessions/day, basic customization. Paid: Pro at $14.99/month for unlimited sessions, advanced customization, and priority support. School and district pricing available.
Integrations: Works in any browser. Google Classroom and LMS integrations available.
Every tool above can produce output that is not worth using. That is not a disclaimer buried in fine print. It is the daily reality of working with AI in a classroom.
Alice Keeler, a well-known math educator, tested a popular AI lesson planning tool and called the result "a bland, uninspiring math lesson" that was "definitely not worth the hype." Research backs her up. A study analyzing hundreds of AI-generated lesson plans found they largely failed to include multicultural or diverse content, rarely activated higher-order thinking skills, and defaulted to surface-level activities like showing a video or creating a PowerPoint. One Monsha user told support they were so frustrated with a failed worksheet request that they "had to resort to Gemini" to get the job done (from Monsha support conversations). No tool is immune to this.
The pattern is predictable. You type a short prompt, the AI generates something that looks like a lesson plan, and you spend the next 20 minutes fixing it. At that point you've spent more time editing than you would have spent writing it yourself. That is the moment most teachers quit on a tool entirely.
But the problem is usually the prompt, not the tool. Teachers who get consistent results from AI tend to do one thing differently: they front-load the conversation with specifics. Instead of "Create a lesson plan on the water cycle," they write something closer to "Create a 45-minute lesson plan on the water cycle for 5th graders, aligned to NGSS 5-ESS2-1, using a hands-on investigation where students model evaporation and condensation with everyday materials. Include three discussion questions that require students to explain cause and effect, not just recall definitions."
The difference is night and day. Specificity gives the AI constraints to work within. Grade level, standards, time limit, activity type, thinking level. The more you narrow the request, the less generic the output.
Still, some tasks are not worth giving to AI at all. If you need a deeply personal mentor text, a culturally specific reading passage for your students, or nuanced feedback on a student's writing growth over a semester, you are the expert. AI can handle the repetitive formatting. You handle the parts that require knowing your students.
The phrase that keeps showing up in teacher discussions is "when used properly." That is the honest frame. These tools work when you bring your professional judgment to the prompt and to the output. Skip either step, and you get garbage.
You just read through 18 AI teaching tools across five categories. That is a lot to hold in your head. The table below puts every tool side by side so you can compare the details that matter most: what it's best for, what's free, what's paid, and which LMS it connects to. Bookmark this section. Come back to it when you're ready to shortlist.
Pricing verified as of April 2026. Free tiers and paid plans change frequently. Check each tool's pricing page before purchasing.
The temptation now is to bookmark this page, open six tabs, and sign up for everything that looked promising. Don't do that.
Teachers who try five tools at once tend to use none of them consistently. Pick one. Choose the tool that solves whatever eats the most of your time right now.
If grading 150 essays keeps you up on weeknights, start with CoGrader. If you spend your Sundays building worksheets from scratch, try Diffit or Monsha's free resource generators. If you just want a smarter brainstorming partner, the ChatGPT Teachers plan costs you nothing.
Give it two weeks. Use it for one real assignment, not a test run. If it saves you time, keep going. If it doesn't, come back to the comparison table and try the next one.
And if you want to get better at using whichever of these AI tools for teachers you pick, these free AI courses for teachers are a good place to build that skill.
