Teacher’s Buddy is an AI-powered generative assistant designed to streamline lesson planning, simplify administrative tasks, and enhance student engagement for educators, making teaching more efficient and effective. Read more about the platform on our blog post here.

Absolutely! AI is a fantastic tool that's here to stay and we teacher's need to embrace it and leverage the opportunities it gives us to generate awesome, original, creative material for our students, as well as break the back of the less exciting admin tasks.

There are many exciting ways that teachers can use AI technology to enhance the classroom experience for our students as well! AI can help teachers personalise learning, provide real-time feedback and support, answer questions, grade assignments, and identify areas where students need extra help.

You should treat the outputs generated using AI like any other resource.

Here are some general guidelines on the use of AI generated material:

1. Use AI content as a draft: AI-generated content should be considered a starting point, requiring your professional input to finalise. We suggest an 80/20 guide - the AI will do 80% of the work but you still need to put in the 20% to ensure it's accurate and appropriate for your context.
2. Check for bias and accuracy: AI might produce biased or incorrect content. Always verify content before use.
3. Be aware of AI limitations: The underlying AI language model is not up to date in its knowledge of world events. Consider this when dealing with recent topics.

Teacher's Buddy utilises ChatGPT as its AI engine, but any data inputted by users is not fed back into ChatGPT's broader machine learning model. OpenAI, has clear guidelines to ensure that user data is not used for training purposes unless explicitly opted in by the user, which Teacher’s Buddy does not do. This means that if users add personal information, it will not be shared or used to improve the AI model outside the context of their individual interactions.

Teacher’s Buddy is committed to data protection, and any information users input remains within the platform's environment, adhering to strict privacy and security protocols. This helps ensure that sensitive or personal information is safeguarded and not utilised beyond the intended purpose of generating outputs for users.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. AI-powered machines learn from experience, adjust to new inputs, and perform tasks that were previously considered impossible for machines to do.

There are many exciting ways that teachers can use AI technology to enhance the classroom experience for their students! AI can help teachers personalise learning, provide real-time feedback and support, answer questions, grade assignments, and identify areas where students need extra help.

Certainly! Teacher's Buddy is designed to assist in the education of all age groups, ensuring it is a versatile and essential tool for educators in various settings.

We’re currently working on integrating Teacher's Buddy with Google Classroom and Microsoft Education, ensuring a smooth and interconnected learning and teaching experience. This will mean that you can upload files directly into the platform and export any outputs into your own Google or Microsoft workspaces.

A lesson plan is a detailed outline or guide teachers use to structure a lesson. It typically includes objectives, materials needed, instructional strategies, and assessment measures. The purpose of a lesson plan is to ensure that a teacher delivers a well-organised and effective lesson that meets the learning needs of their students. Lesson plans can be used for any subject or year level and are often tailored to the specific needs of individual students or classes.

A lesson plan should include learning objectives, instructional strategies, assessment measures, organisation of the lesson, details of the materials needed, time required for each activity, and any other relevant information. The plan should be tailored to the specific needs of the students and adjusted as necessary based on their progress and feedback.

A good worksheet is engaging, well-organised, and appropriate for the year level and learning objectives. It should be varied, provide feedback, and include visual aids.
