Steps: use a teacher tool
- Choose Teach Mode in the sidebar. The Teaching Studio opens on Teacher Tools.
- Find a tool. Use Search all tools or a category, for example Lesson Plan, Rubric Generator, Report Card Comments, Worksheet Generator, Jeopardy Review Game, Parent Email or IEP Generator.
- Fill in the form. Add grade level, subject, topic and anything else it asks. You can paste text, add a link or upload a file as source material.
- Generate. Duetoday writes the resource in a session you can keep refining by chat.
- Find it later in Output History.
Steps: make your own tool
- Choose Create Custom Tools (or Create Custom Tool →).
- Start from a built-in tool and add your own instructions, default values and knowledge files.
- Save it. It appears with your tools, ready to reuse.
Tips
- Give context. “Year 9, mixed ability, 50-minute lesson, two students with dyslexia” gives far better plans than “photosynthesis lesson”.
- Build once, reuse often with custom tools for things you write every week, such as newsletters.
- Check everything before it goes to students or parents. AI can make mistakes.
If something goes wrong
- “Built for a bigger screen”. Open the page on a laptop or desktop.
- A tool returns something generic. Add more detail to the form, or attach your own material.
- Can’t find a past resource. Look in Output History and use Search sessions….
