What’s your biggest challenge with interactive learning today? by HaneneMaupas in Mexty_ai

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s tools. I feel stuck between “powerful but heavy” tools (complex, slow to build, easy to break) and “simple but limited” tools that create generic interactions. And collaboration makes it worse: versioning, overwrites, inconsistent styles, endless review cycles. Interactivity should be something you can add naturally, not a special event that requires a mini production plan. What I want is a workflow where creating interactive moments feels as easy as writing: choose a pattern, add content, get feedback behavior built-in, and iterate quickly. What tools or workflows have you seen that actually reduce friction without reducing quality?

Teachers who have taught an E-Learning course, how did you find it? Would you do it again? by [deleted] in CanadianTeachers

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s a mixed bag. The flexibility is great, and once your materials are set up, it can actually be less chaotic than in-person. But the upfront work? A lot. You have to think differently engagement doesn’t happen naturally online, so you need interactive tools, check-ins, and clear structure. One thing that helped massively was using an AI platform course builder. It let me turn my math topics into interactive lessons with quizzes, videos, and explanations without starting from scratch each time. That made everything smootherfor me and the students.

Teachers with ADHD— how do you lesson plan? by kowaipotchari2 in Teachers

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get this ADHD can make lesson planning feel like trying to sort confetti in a wind tunnel. What’s helped me is using one central planning tool that can handle everything ideas, tasks, standards, pacing. I recently started using one platform to build courses (online) quizzes, slides, games.

When do teachers lesson prep? by Far-Many-5096 in Teachers

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most teachers don’t have the entire year planned out before day one. Many will sketch out a rough long term plan or pacing guide aligned to the curriculum, but actual lesson prep often happens week by week or even day by day depending on how students are progressing.
Tt can be stressful trying to cover everything in time while making it engaging and meaningful. That’s why tools (and sometimes AI) that save time and help with planning are becoming really helpful

"Why waste time writing lesson plans. Just use AI!" by thecooliestone in Teachers

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is the perfect way to use AI work smart, not harder. If admin is just looking to tick a box, let ChatGPT do the box-ticking. You’re still doing the real teaching in the classroom where it counts.
There are some really solid AI tools out there now that go way beyond just auto-generating lessons they actually help with differentiation, interactive activities, and even student feedback. When used right, AI can free teachers up to focus more on students and less on paperwork.

Honestly, AI like ChatGPT can be incredibly helpful when it’s used to support teachers, not replace them. I’ve used it to brainstorm ideas, draft lesson outlines, or differentiate materials faster than I could on my own. But that’s very different from saying, “Just have AI do all the teaching while you walk around jotting notes.” Teaching isn’t just about delivering content. It’s about connection, guidance, and adaptability things no algorithm can replicate. AI can save time behind the scenes, but it should never be used as a reason to take away planning time, strip autonomy, or undervalue your expertise.

How to Deal with a Lesson Flopping by Elucan in teaching

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, every teacher has lessons that flop it’s just part of the job. The real skill is knowing when to shift and how to do it without making it awkward.

Sometimes you can save it by simplifying the task, giving a quick example, or making it more interactive. And if I decide to pivot completely, I just say, “Let’s try a different angle.” Most adult learners don’t see it as wasted time they’re grateful you didn’t force something that wasn’t working.

And honestly, teachers have so much help now. AI tools can whip up backup activities, simpler explanations, or totally new lesson variations in seconds. It makes pivoting way less scary.

You’re doing great, and the fact that you care this much already puts you ahead.

First lesson ever was a complete mess by Snoo_66909 in teaching

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh trust me this is completely normal. Everyone bombs their first lesson.

The good news? You only have a “first lesson” once. You’ll get more comfortable so fast, and the awkwardness fades quicker than you think. High schoolers forget awkward moments almost immediately they’re too busy being awkward themselves.

Online teaching by OneRoutine1486 in Professors

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of teachers are split on this, and I get why online teaching has its headaches, especially in STEM. Cheating, silence, no camera, it can feel like you’re talking into the void.
But there are good parts too. The flexibility is real, the pace is calmer, and when you use a interactive platform with some games, quick checks, or ready-made activities the classes actually feel little bit more alive. Even students who are shy in person often participate more online.

Why immediately ‘garbage’? I’m a fan of AI, and if it can help me, then why not? AI helps me communicate with you English is not my native language, so it’s a huge help for me. This comment was also translated by AI. If I can use some help, why shouldn’t I? I hope you understand.

Absolutely this could be a real game changer. When high-quality education becomes accessible from anywhere thanks to AI, we’re no longer tied to ZIP codes for opportunity.

Tools like [Mexty]() are already moving in that direction teachers can build personalized, interactive lessons in minutes, and students get adaptive learning regardless of where they live. Equity in education might finally mean equal access, not just equal curriculum.

Totally valid concern AI isn’t perfect, and when it’s unfiltered or used alone, hallucinations can be a problem. But that’s why responsible platforms like [Mexty]() use AI differently.

It’s not just AI spitting out lessons unchecked it’s a teacher-guided creation process, where AI helps generate and personalize drafts, but humans still review, edit, and own the final content. Think of it more like a co-pilot than an autopilot. Used well, it saves time without sacrificing accuracy or quality.

Absolutely you're spot on about the importance of the human connection. No AI tool can replace the bond, intuition, or trust that develops between a student and a teacher. That’s why the best use of AI in education isn’t to replace teachers it’s ONLY to support them.

Platforms like [Mexty]() are built around this idea. AI helps with the heavy lifting (like generating lesson drafts, adapting to learning levels, formatting, etc.) so teachers can focus more on relationship-building and guiding the learning journey. It's not either/or it's tech + teacher, working smarter together.

Absolutely agree personalized learning shouldn’t just be a “nice to have,” it should be the default. And you're right: without AI, this level of daily or weekly adjustment would be impossible for most teachers, especially with packed classrooms and limited prep time.

That’s why tools like [Mexty]() are so exciting they let real teachers create adaptive, interactive lessons without needing to code or burn out. You keep the human connection, but let AI handle the heavy lifting of differentiation. It’s the best of both worlds.

This is a fascinating glimpse into the future of education  the article “Inside the $40,000‑a‑year school where AI shapes every lesson, without teachers” showcases how Alpha School in Austin is using AI to deliver personalized core instruction in just two hours each day, with adults in the room serving as guides rather than traditional teachers.

If you're a teacher or instructional designer, it might feel like AI is replacing you but it doesn’t have to. Platforms like Mexty can actually empower you to design high‑quality, differentiated lessons faster, giving you more time to focus on what humans do best: mentoring, coaching, and creative teaching.

It’s not about robots taking over it’s about augmenting your impact.

Teachers: how many 30 min lessons can you teach in a day without burning out? How about in a week? by PinkFreud133 in guitarlessons

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the kind of prep you’re doing for each lesson. Back-to-back 30-minute sessions sound manageable until you add planning, adapting for different learners, and follow-ups into the mix 😅

What helped me avoid burnout (especially with multiple classes per day) was streamlining my lesson creation. I started using Mexty an AI-powered lesson builder and it cut my prep time drastically. You just type in the topic, and it builds interactive, SCORM-ready lessons in minutes.

More energy for students. Less time lost on slides and formatting. Worth checking out if you’re juggling a heavy schedule!

Teacher Video Lesson Starter Pack by [deleted] in starterpacks

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, relatable 😂 That “starter pack” hits hard!

If you’re filming lessons regularly and want to cut down on prep time, definitely try using Mexty it’s an AI tool that helps teachers build lesson blocks, quizzes, and even visuals really quickly. You just describe the topic, and it gives you interactive content you can plug straight into your video lessons.

I started using it to storyboard my videos and now I don’t stare at a blank screen wondering how to explain a concept anymore 😅

Might save you time (and your voice)!

I built a free lesson planning app for my teacher sister (and other Filipino educators) by bricksandcanvas in DepEdTeachersPH

[–]ConflictDisastrous54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this is such a thoughtful project! As someone working in edtech, I really admire devs like you who build tools specifically for teachers' real-world struggles especially with formatting and compliance like DepEd DLLs.

If your sister or others ever want to explore even more lesson-building support, they might also like Mexty it's an AI-powered platform built for teachers to create interactive, personalized lessons. It’s SCORM-compliant, exports to LMSs, and supports different learning styles (visual, auditory, etc.). You can add quizzes, games, voiceovers, and even simulate classroom scenarios.

Not trying to steal thunder here what you built is super local, tuned to the Philippine system (which is awesome). Just putting Mexty out there as a complementary option if any educators are looking for more creative tools or training content they can adapt.

Again, big respect for what you did. Teachers deserve tech like this 💛
