About this course

Generative AI can draft, adapt and explain in seconds, but only a teacher knows what a class actually needs. This course shows you how to use AI assistants as a planning partner, not a replacement.

You’ll learn how these tools work and why they make mistakes, how to write prompts that produce classroom-ready material, and how to build AI into your weekly planning for lesson plans, worksheets, question banks, parent messages and work in Indian languages. Throughout, we follow India’s privacy rules and your school’s policy.

No technical background needed. Every lesson ends with something you can use in class the next day.

What you’ll learn

  • Explain in plain words how generative AI produces text and why it makes mistakes
  • Write prompts using Role–Task–Context–Format that give usable classroom material
  • Draft a lesson plan, worksheet and question bank aligned to your NCERT/State chapter
  • Adapt one resource for three readiness levels and for Hindi or regional-language learners
  • Fact-check AI output with a quick five-point routine
  • Apply a privacy checklist that keeps student data safe under India’s DPDP Act
