Using the AI teacher tools
61 AI tools for rubrics, exit tickets, parent emails, IEP goals, slides and more, and every result can be edited.
Updated October 20, 2026
Open AI Tools in the sidebar to see all 61. Search by name, or filter by category: Lesson Planning, Assessment & Evaluation, Language Arts, STEM, Special Education, Communication, Content Creation and more.
- Click a tool, such as Rubric Creator or Exit Ticket Creator.
- Fill in the details. Fields marked * are required, usually just the grade level.
- Click Generate. Results take about 10 to 20 seconds.
Then Copy the result, Download .txt, or Print / Save PDF. Some tools can also download a CSV. Not quite right? Click Regenerate.
Copy keeps the formatting, so headings, bold text, lists and tables paste straight into Google Docs or Word.
Editing a result
Most results are a document you can type into. The bar above it has Undo, Redo, Heading, Bold, Italic, Bulleted list, Numbered list and Insert table. Your changes save on their own, and it shows Saving… and then Saved.
Print, Copy, Download, Save to Google and Make it a quiz all use your edited text. To throw your changes away, click Back to original. It asks first ("Go back to the AI's version?") and then returns to what the AI wrote.
- Presentation Maker slides are edited right on the slides. See Presentation Maker below.
- A YouTube Video Quiz is edited in the quiz builder: click Edit in quiz builder.
- A Review Game, Word Search and Crossword or Graphic Organizer has Edit as text, which opens it as a document. Until you change it, the button above it takes you back to the board, puzzle or organizer. Once you've changed it, it stays a document, and Back to original brings the board, puzzle or organizer back.
Asking the AI to change it
Under a result you're editing as a document, Ask AI to change it has quick buttons: Shorter, Simpler words, More challenging, Add an answer key and In Spanish. Or type your own change in the box and click Change it. The Presentation Maker's designed slides are changed by typing on them.
After a change, a Changed: bar tells you what the AI did. Click Undo on it to put your text back the way it was.
Start from a video, web page or file
Many tools have a Start from box at the top of the form, including the Assessment Generator, Study Guide Creator, Exit Ticket Creator, Reading Comprehension Generator, Lesson Plan Generator and Presentation Maker. Instead of typing a topic, you can build from something you already have:
- Just a topic: the usual way, with no source.
- YouTube video: paste the link and TeachFlow reads the video's captions.
- Web page: paste the address of an article or lesson page.
- File: upload a PDF, Word document, text file or photo.
- Paste text: paste a transcript, an article or your own notes.
TeachFlow reads a link or file as soon as you add it and shows what it found, such as Captions read with the video's length. Click Generate and the tool builds only on what the source says. With a source chosen, you can leave the topic empty.
Reading a source doesn't use up an AI generation. Only Generate does. A very long source is cut short (a video is read up to about its first hour), and the box tells you when that happens.
Make a quiz from a YouTube video
- Open AI Tools and click YouTube Video Quiz.
- Paste the YouTube link. TeachFlow shows the video and Captions read when it can read the captions.
- Choose the Whole video or just a part of it, with a start and end time. Then set the number of questions (5 to 25), the question types and the grade level.
- Click Generate.
The questions come from the video's captions, so they ask about what the video actually says. Each question has a time chip for the moment its answer comes up. Click it to open the video at that second.
Under the quiz, click Edit in quiz builder to edit it and assign it like any other quiz, Save as Google Form to make a self-grading Google Form with the video at the top, or Print. The answer key prints on its own page.
In the quiz builder, a Video card has Show the video above the questions switched on. Students see the video above the questions, in TeachFlow and in Canvas. The times aren't shown while they answer. After the quiz, when results are shown, each question offers Rewatch at the moment its answer comes up.
Presentation Maker
The Presentation Maker (the old Presentation Generator) designs a slide deck for you. Enter a topic, or use Start from for a video, page or file, then choose the number of slides and one of 5 looks: Classroom blue, Chalkboard, Field, Bold or Notebook.
With Add pictures on, TeachFlow draws a picture for about half the slides, and the form shows how many pictures it will use and how many you have left. These come from the same monthly AI pictures as quiz pictures: 10 on Free, 300 on Pro and 1,000 on Power. If they run out partway through, the rest of the slides keep their layout without a picture and a notice tells you how many were left out.
Every slide has speaker notes. Click Present here to show the deck full screen, with the arrow keys to move between slides and a switch for the notes. You can also click Open in Google Slides or Download PowerPoint.
To change the words, click Edit slides and type straight onto the slides: titles, points (both sides of a two-column slide too), a question, its answer choices and its answer, a quote, and each slide's Speaker notes. The pictures and the look stay as they are. Your changes save on their own, and Present here, Download PowerPoint, Open in Google Slides, Copy and Print use them. Back to original puts the AI's slides back.
A deck made with the old Presentation Generator opens in its slide list instead. Click Edit slides to Add slide, Move up, Move down or Delete slide, and to change each slide's Title, Points (one per line; start a line with - to make it a bullet) and Speaker notes.
Review game, puzzles and organizers
- Review Game: a Jeopardy-style board for the projector. Choose 3 to 6 categories and 3 to 5 questions in each, add 2 to 6 teams, then click a tile, Show answer and give the points to the team that got it. It plays full screen, keeps the scores if you reload the page, and prints an answer sheet.
- Word Search and Crossword: type a topic or your own word list, one word per line, and choose a word search, a crossword or both. Easy puzzles run across and down, medium ones add diagonals and hard ones add backwards words. The puzzle prints with its word bank or numbered clues, and the answer key prints on its own page. A word that doesn't fit is named in a notice.
- Graphic Organizer: a Venn diagram, KWL chart, Frayer model, timeline, cause and effect chart, story map, T-chart, main idea and details chart or sequence chart. Choose Blank for students, with only labels and guiding prompts, or a Filled-in example.
