Use ChatGPT for lesson planning, and finish with a lesson you can teach

Plan in ChatGPT the way you already do. With the Chalkie plugin, the same conversation produces designed lesson slides, a quiz and a worksheet for your class, saved to Chalkie and ready for tomorrow.

The short answer

To use ChatGPT for lesson planning, add the Chalkie plugin and describe your lesson: the topic, the class year and what pupils should learn. Chalkie, an AI lesson planner for teachers, builds the slides, activities and worksheet, shows them in the chat and saves them to your Chalkie account.

The problem

A lesson plan in a chat window is only half the job

ChatGPT is good at ideas. Turning those ideas into something you can stand up and teach is still on you.

Copy, paste, format, repeat

A text plan still has to become slides, examples and a worksheet before it is any use in a classroom.

Not pitched at your class

Generic answers miss your year group, your curriculum and the range of pupils in front of you.

Lost in old chats

Good plans disappear into chat history, so next year you start again from scratch.

From chat to classroom in three steps

1.🔌

Add Chalkie to ChatGPT

Open Chalkie in ChatGPT's plugin directory and sign in, or create a free Chalkie account.

2.💬

Describe the lesson

Give the topic, the class year and what pupils should learn. ChatGPT asks one short question if anything important is missing.

3.🧑‍🏫

Preview, then teach

Flick through the slides in the chat, then open them in Chalkie to edit, export or teach.

What Chalkie adds to ChatGPT lesson planning

ChatGPT handles the conversation. Chalkie turns it into teaching resources built for your class.

  • Each lesson builds on the last
  • Up to ten resources per request

Aligned to your standards when you ask

Curriculum alignment

Aligned to your standards when you ask

Ask ChatGPT to align the lesson and Chalkie searches your curriculum's standards, then builds the lesson around the ones it finds. It never makes up a standard.

  • Searches your curriculum's real standards
  • Quizzes and worksheets keep the lesson's alignment
  • Curricula across 23 countries and regions
Edit, export or teach in Chalkie
