AI doesn’t know your students. It prepares a first version of a unit, an exercise, or a test, which you adjust to your class. You keep your time for teaching and for following each student.
AI helps teachers with tasks such as “Prepare a unit,” “Adapt an exercise to three levels,” and “Create a test and its point scale.” Start with a single task, in Claude: allow 20 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.
