Most “AI teaching tools” are just a chatbot wearing a different shirt.
A thin wrapper over the same chatbot API, dressed up as a real tool. TeachSpark isn’t. See the eight things it actually does that they can’t.
Describe what you want your students to do — I'll build the activity for you.

Or pick a category to start
Ask your current AI teaching tool these eight questions. If it can't do all of this, it might be time to give TeachSpark a try.
Can it generate a totally bespoke, fully interactive HTML web activity — not just a worksheet or quiz template?
Can it build a full 2-week pacing guide with connected interactive activities, lesson plans, worksheets, and answer keys — including discussion and review days — all tied together?
Can it let teachers set up their real, uneven weekly class schedule (block periods, lab days, off-cycle meetings) when building a pacing guide — then automatically place each lesson on the correct calendar date and push the whole plan to Google Calendar with one click, entirely optional?
Can it generate an interactive or printable final exam that covers an entire semester of instruction — not just a single unit or week?
Can it generate multiple different interactive versions of the same concept — with built-in rubrics, short-answer questions, auto-graded multiple choice, and AI first-pass grading of short answers?
Can your tool embed a video inside an interactive activity with auto-generated multiple-choice and short-answer questions based on the video — without you needing to add manual timestamps? (The closest tool we know of is EdPuzzle — everything else isn't even close.)
Can it take a slide deck you already have — even an old one — upload it (or paste a Google Slides link), optionally add a reference video and a short summary, and turn it into a genuinely interactive activity grounded in that real content, not a generic activity on the same general topic?
A lot of competing tools — including the ones behind those "Best AI Tools for Teachers" listicles — generate a static worksheet and stop there. Can it take that exact same kind of worksheet (a PDF or document a teacher already has, from any source) and turn it into a genuinely interactive activity — correctly grounded in the original content, with the same data table, the same multiple-choice options, and the same analysis questions — not a generic activity on the same topic?
No signup required.
Pick your subject, grade level, and schedule length (1 week to 1 month). TeachSpark generates a complete day-by-day unit plan with activity slots, discussion days, review days, group work days, assessment days, and flex days — plus a full structured lesson plan for each day. No prompt engineering required.
Three styles — Activity-Heavy, Balanced, or Light. You control how many activity days vs. discussion, review, and flex days.
Each day gets a full lesson plan with named, timed segments. Generate, save, print, copy, or edit directly in TeachSpark.
Discussion, review, group work, assessment, and flex days — automatically woven into your pacing guide alongside activity days.
No account needed to explore — start your trial when you're ready.
Build activities, generate lesson plans, and create worksheets — all by just asking Valerie. Voice input included.

CTE teachers bring real-world expertise to the classroom — but ready-made curriculum for CTE courses is hard to find, and most teacher training programs were not built with CTE in mind. TeachSpark changes that. You already know what your students need to learn. TeachSpark takes that knowledge and turns it into complete, interactive, standards-aligned activities — built around your subject, your industry, and your classroom.

EdPuzzle and Nearpod's AI tools generate individual questions on top of a video. TeachSpark builds a complete, structured interactive activity around the video — from a YouTube link plus the transcript or a summary of it.
Note: EdPuzzle's auto-generated questions exist but are frequently inconsistent in quality based on classroom use — TeachSpark's activities are built from the video's transcript content itself, not isolated question generation.
Teaching a classroom or homeschooling your kids — there's a plan for you.
For classroom teachers, tutors, and specialists. Build unlimited activities, upload your syllabus for a full semester plan, generate worksheets and answer keys, align to Common Core standards, and use Valerie to build lesson plans, sub plans, worksheets, and Blooket question sets — no student accounts required.
