Boom! Generate Content! 
This week, we’re spotlighting a brand-new upgrade to our Content Assistant—now you can generate passages and questions right within TeacherMade.Â
Simply set your parameters—like grade level, subject, question type, and number of questions—and TeacherMade will generate content, ready to review and edit as you like. (As always, remember to check any AI content for accuracy.) This tool is here to save you time and effort while crafting high-quality assignments.
Get ready to streamline your lesson prep even further with TeacherMade’s AI-driven features! 🎉
With the launch of the Content Assistant, you can now use our AI to make content in TeacherMade, just like we’ve been doing for weeks!! There are now two ways to do it: Generate content or import/paste in any content.Â
Generating content will create brand new materials that are delivered in TeacherMade format. The correct answers are already present; once reviewed, the content is ready to assign to your students with no additional preparation.Â
Importing/pasting in content has a wide variety of uses. You can generate content on ChatGPT, Magic School, or some other site. But when you use those sites, all you get is text. You still have to format it and deliver it to your students. When you take that generated text and paste it into TeacherMade’s Content Assistant: Import/Paste screen, it will be automatically turned into an interactive, autograded file ready for your classes.
But here’s the bonus: you can also paste in text from anywhere! Do you already have quizzes and practice sheets in Google Docs? Copy the text and paste it in. The Content Assistant will turn it into a TeacherMade for you! Talk about saving time!!Â
