Teacher tip: before you ask AI to write a bell ringer, give it your actual novel, the chapter you're on, and your kids' reading level. Generic prompts get generic work. Specific prompts get something you'd actually use tomorrow.

We finished reading Down a Dark Hall. Tomorrow's Do Now: "Madame Duret offers you genius-level talent, but someone else controls it. Deal or no deal? Defend it." Teachers, what would YOUR students say?

Small win: I have a bot that reads my school email every morning and gives me a short list. Deadlines, parent questions, what can wait. It takes 2 minutes to read instead of 30 to dig through. That's the kind of AI I want.

I teach 6th grade ELA, and this year I started using AI bots to handle the busywork. Not to replace teaching. Just to give me my evenings back. I'll be sharing what actually works (and what doesn't) here. Teachers, what eats most of your time?
