We all have slides or PDFs we use repeatedly. Curipod's new "Add Materials" feature turns your existing resources into interactive lessons. Less reinventing the wheel, more making what you've got even better.
#Curipod #EduSky #EduSkyAI #CuripodAmbassador
Screenshot of Curipod's lesson creation interface showing the "Add Materials" dropdown menu. The menu displays five options: Paste in text, Upload a file, Upload an image or screenshot, Upload slides, and Youtube link. The interface has a peach/coral background with the heading "Lessons students love" and a text input field for describing lessons.

Halloween's over but the scares keep coming - prelims are here! 👻
Set up a #SchoolAI Space for my exam course. The dashboard shows what students are asking, so I can target revision where they're actually struggling. Really helpful.

🎃 No tricks! #Curipod has two spook-tacular ready-to-go lessons for Halloween 👻

These lessons are full of treats for all ages

🕸️ Candy Bowl - bit.ly/3Wv3RYD
🏚️ Haunted House - bit.ly/3WoSUb5

Or let the AI put a Halloween twist on your lesson 🪄

#EduSk #EduAI #EduSkyAI
A bright cartoon illustration shows a smiling woman with short brown hair and rectangular glasses standing beside a large Halloween candy bowl overflowing with colourful sweets. Some of the candies are labelled “Creativity,” “Engagement,” and “Curiosity.” She’s holding a tablet that displays the Curipod logo. Behind her is a friendly Halloween scene with a purple haunted house, glowing pumpkins, and bats flying across an orange sky. The overall feel is cheerful, fun, and classroom-friendly, matching the theme of Halloween-themed Curipod lessons.

"You will have Smart boards in your classrooms" - that's what uni promised my year group two decades ago. Finally got one and I'm loving it! Students are queuing up to use it, engagement is brilliant, and I'm discovering features I didn't know existed. Worth the wait.

👕 #TechTShirtTuesday - this time it’s the shirt, not the company.

Trust me.
But… trust me how? Believe me? Trust the AI because I’m the one using it? Or trust that it’s a good thing? 🤔

Curious what others see in it.
