Key Takeaways:
- For today’s educators, technology isn’t a threat but a partner. Using AI for teachers is redefining how classrooms function, reducing stress, and adding joy back into teaching.
- With Extramarks Extra Intelligence, you can simplify your daily workflow, leaving all the mundane tasks to AI while focusing on connecting with students.
For teachers, every day is a careful balance of planning, teaching, guiding, and managing. Between attendance registers, lesson planning, and piles of homework, you may often find yourself wishing for more time. That’s where AI for teachers comes in, and no, not to replace you, but to simplify the repetitive tasks that take you away from what you love most: teaching.
AI today supports teachers in ways that make everyday tasks more personalised, efficient, and joyful. (And if you’re wondering whether it might one day replace you altogether, you can explore that in our post — Will AI Replace Teachers? Spoiler: It won’t.)
Now, let’s take a closer look at how teachers can use AI for everyday tasks.
How Teachers Use AI in Their Daily Work
-
Starting the Day: Attendance & Settling the Class
Your school day obviously doesn’t begin straight up with lessons. Roll calls, settling students down, and setting the tone for learning take up the initial few minutes. While this may seem routine, it’s a task that consumes precious minutes every morning.
With Extra Intelligence, teachers can automate attendance tracking during live or hybrid sessions. The AI quietly takes note of who’s present, monitors participation, and even flags when attention starts to drop.
This is how using AI for completing your daily tasks as a teacher starts paying off right from the first bell.
-
Lesson Delivery & Explanation of Concepts
Behind every great class lie hours of planning. You have to align the lesson plan with the syllabus, create engaging visuals, and tailor explanations to different learning levels.
With Extramarks Extra Intelligence, AI becomes your real-time co-planner. You get AI-generated lesson plans perfectly aligned with the prescribed syllabus. Ready-to-use interactive slides, teaching decks, and animations are automatically suggested to make concepts more engaging and easier to explain. And since classrooms in India are often multilingual, it also ensures that content can be adapted for different grades and languages with just a click.
-
Handling Student Questions & Class Engagement
Student curiosity is real and often comes in endless loops of the same questions!
Extra Intelligence helps by generating instant discussion prompts, examples, and interactive class activities that keep learners engaged. When students ask recurring or tricky questions, AI offers contextual explanations, saving you time without compromising quality. What makes it even better is the classroom engagement insight feature, which analyses participation levels, identifies who’s attentive, and gently alerts you when focus dips.
-
Checking Homework & Assignments
No doubt, checking assignments and homework is rewarding, but also incredibly time-consuming. Reviewing piles of notebooks or digital submissions takes hours that could otherwise go into teaching.
Leave these teacher-centric, mundane tasks to AI. With Extra Intelligence, you can auto-generate practice questions, homework tasks, and even evaluate responses, both objective and descriptive. It scans for completion, identifies common mistakes, and even generates quick reports showing which students need extra help.
-
Giving Feedback & Monitoring Progress
Student feedback is a very personal part of teaching. It’s what helps students grow. Yet, giving detailed, individual feedback can be challenging in large classrooms.
With Extra Intelligence, teachers can get AI-generated feedback that aligns with pre-set rubrics, ensuring accuracy and consistency. Smart dashboards also visualise progress by showing which students are excelling and who may be falling behind.
-
Managing Classroom Order & Motivation
Classroom management is all about balancing discipline while keeping the students’ energy levels and participation high.
AI makes this everyday task for teachers easier. With Extramarks Extra Intelligence, you can bring in gamified learning experiences by suggesting fun and interactive activities based on lesson themes. When students start losing focus, real-time attention tracking gives gentle alerts, so you can intervene at the right moment.
-
Parent Communication & Daily Records
Parent communication is necessary, and can happen by sending them regular updates, progress reports, and reminders. But it can get tedious, and that’s where AI steps in for teachers.
Extra Intelligence can auto-draft updates, newsletters, or even personalised parent messages, saving teachers the effort of writing each one manually. Moreover, digital attendance logs and homework records are automatically maintained and organised. This way, parents stay informed and teachers spend less time on administrative paperwork.
-
Preparing for the Next Day
The list of tasks for teachers doesn’t end when classes wrap up. Your real work often begins once students go home. You have to prepare for the next day, starting from lesson prep to quiz creation.
Using AI to transform your everyday tasks as a teacher helps you maintain your workflow. With Extra Intelligence, you can generate next day’s lesson plans in a single click, complete with worksheets, quizzes, and activities matched to syllabus requirements and student proficiency levels. So, what used to take hours of planning now happens in minutes!
Staying in Charge of Privacy & Responsibility
While AI brings immense support for teachers, it doesn’t replace the human heart of education. You still remain fully in control, as every AI suggestion can be edited, customised, or even ignored.
When it comes to ethical considerations, student data privacy is protected within the Extramarks ecosystem, ensuring that all analytics and insights are used responsibly.
