Why This Saves Teachers Hours
Teachers lose time in three ways:
Writing lesson explanations
Designing quizzes
Grading and giving feedback
This one prompt solves all three:
The mini-course explains conditionals for you.
The quiz tests students instantly.
The feedback is automatic, positive, and tailored.
That means less typing, less grading, and more energy left for live teaching.
