A free AI class for teachers. Watch it in 14 minutes.

I turned my AI training session for teachers and admin staff into a class that plays by itself. Every screen has a voice-over and captions. Press play, and it teaches you like a video. Pause it when a timer appears and try the task yourself.

Each screen plays its voice-over, waits 5 seconds, then moves on. The points on each slide appear as the voice reaches them, so you never read ahead of the explanation.

● The plan

What you will learn

01 AI is a fast intern

It drafts. You decide. It is great at first drafts, ideas and quiz questions. You still check facts, safety rules and the level of your learners.

02 Pick one tool and open an account

Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva AI and Claude, each with the one job it does best. Then a two minute guide to signing up.

03 The 5-block prompt

Role, context, task, limits, format. Brief AI the way you would brief a substitute teacher. Leave a block out and it guesses wrong.

04 A lesson, a quiz and three levels

Build a 30 minute lesson, a 2 + 2 + 1 quiz with an answer key, and three activities that reach the same goal by different routes.

05 Admin work and safe use

Sponsor emails, meeting actions and attendance charts. Then the traffic light rule for what never goes into a public AI tool.

● Before you start

Open your account in 2 minutes

Every tool uses the same three steps. Open the website. Sign in with your work email or Google. Confirm the code sent to your inbox. The free plan is enough for the whole class.

The closing screen has the slides as a PDF or HTML file, plus a page comparing human and AI results.

*The 164 minutes is a typical estimate across seven everyday tasks, not a measured result. The results page shows each task side by side.

● Questions

Common questions

Is the AI class really free?

Yes. The full class, the slides and the results page are free to watch. You only need a free account on one AI tool to follow the activities.

How long does the class take?

About 14 minutes if you let it play straight through. Each screen has a voice-over, then a 5 second pause before the next one. Add a few minutes for each activity you pause to try.

Which AI tool should I use?

Use the one you already have. Copilot is easiest if your school or office runs on Microsoft 365. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all work for every activity. Canva AI is best for slides and posters.

Do I need a paid AI plan?

No. The free plan of any of the tools is enough for everything in the class.

Is it safe to paste student data into AI?

No. Never paste names, ID numbers, grades or health information into a public AI tool. The class teaches a traffic light rule for this, and in Saudi Arabia the Personal Data Protection Law applies.

Can I present it live to my own team?

Yes. Click "I will present it myself" on the start card. You get the slides, timers and trainer notes. Press N for the notes and G for a grid of every slide.
