After you create a document using Tools, you’ll be taken to a text editor where you can tailor content to be exactly what you need. Whether you change the document yourself or re-prompt certain sections using AI, customizing documents created with Tools allows you to:
Meet specific student needs and learning goals
Align materials with your teaching style and curriculum
Enhance engagement by incorporating relevant examples
Differentiate instruction to accommodate diverse learning levels
To edit a document you’ve already created:
Find the document you created by going to the Tool you used to create it. You can also find documents in Tools > Recent Documents
Edit your document in the same way that you would edit a Google Doc or Microsoft Word document. Use the top options box to change the style and format
Add text or images
For more options, including images, type the backslash (/) symbol into a new line on the document. This opens up a new menu with several options for making changes, including the ability to add AI-generated images directly into your document.
To add an AI-generated image, table, or for additional formatting options:
Select your Enter or Return on your keyboard and press the / button
A menu will appear to change the format, use AI, or insert a new component. Make a selection
If necessary, add your prompt, customize through the dropdown, and select Generate
Re-prompting sections of the document using AI
Sometimes, you may want to adjust only a portion of the generated document by re-prompting. You can ask the AI to shorten, simplify, or change the tone of your text. To use AI to change specific sections of the document:
Highlight the section of your document you’d like to re-prompt
Select the AI tools button from the toolbar
This will open a menu with options for editing
Make a selection from the given options to automatically change the text. Otherwise, choose Custom Prompt to edit in a new way
A new prompt box will be inserted right into the document. The original text is located at the top, and you can enter instructions for your new prompt below
Type in your new prompt into the prompt box and use the dropdown option to change the tone
Select Generate text, then select Insert when you’re confident with the changes
Your documents are saved automatically. Share or export the documents using the buttons at the top of the page.
Printing your document
Currently, SchoolAI does not support printing directly from the Editor. To print your document, you’ll need to follow these simple steps:
Export Your Document: Click the Export button located in the upper right-hand corner of the Editor
Save the File to Your Computer: Choose your preferred file format and save the exported document to your computer
Print the Document: Open the saved file on your computer and print it using your printer’s settings
By exporting your document first, you’ll have the flexibility to print from any device connected to a printer.
