Chalkie

Chalkie is an AI teaching assistant for schools and individual teachers. You give it a topic, a year group and a curriculum, and it drafts the resources you would otherwise spend an evening building: lesson slides, learning objectives, key vocabulary, classroom activities, worksheets and quizzes.

The lesson planner is the core of the product. You type a topic such as The Water Cycle or Character Development, choose the year level and subject, pick a region, and Chalkie returns a complete deck with objectives, vocabulary, explanations, examples and interactive activities. Every slide stays editable in the built-in editor, and content can be regenerated or remixed with AI prompts rather than rewritten by hand. You can also start from material you already have, pasting in a lesson plan, uploading a file or pointing Chalkie at a website URL as the starting point.

The unit planner extends the same flow across a whole topic. Ask for three, twelve, twenty-five or more lessons on one theme and Chalkie first returns an editable outline with objectives and a suggested sequence map, then generates each lesson from that outline. Every lesson builds on the last, which is what makes a series usable for a half-term or a full term of planning, and any individual lesson in the sequence can be regenerated on its own.

The worksheet generator produces standalone activity sheets or worksheets tied to an existing lesson. It mixes question types including multiple choice, short answer, open-ended questions, cloze tests and gap fills, so a starter quiz, a lesson recap or homework can all come from the same topic. Sheets are differentiated by level, editable in the builder, and exportable to Google Docs, Word, PDF or printed for class.

Classroom activities arrive attached to every generated lesson: starters, plenaries, group challenges, debates, matching games, ranking tasks, true-or-false sets and quizzes. Students can join interactive activities live in the classroom, or you can export the lesson and print the activity slide on its own.

Curriculum alignment runs through the whole product. Chalkie maps content to the UK National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 to 4, the Australian Curriculum v9.0 and US Common Core and NGSS, embedding learning outcomes into slides, worksheets and activities. Alignment is a paid feature, so free accounts generate content without standards mapping.

Around the core sit the practical details: a wide range of slide themes, AI editing of text and imagery, automatic YouTube video suggestions, lessons up to 35 slides on the top plan, export to Google Slides, PowerPoint, PDF, Google Docs and Word, and a public library of lessons and worksheets you can browse and remix. Chalkie says it uses OpenAI and Google models, publishes a responsible AI guide asking teachers to check facts and review output before use, and states that no student data is ever collected.
