What this feed is — and isn't

Chalkbox builds free tools for classrooms, so we spend our days looking at what AI can and cannot do for teaching and learning. These are not news write-ups. Each page takes one named AI tool and answers the questions you actually have before using it: what it does, who it is for, how to get it, what it costs, how to use it in a real lesson or study session, and where it falls short. We are not affiliated with any of these tools and we do not endorse them, so we name the trade-offs and tell you to check pricing and privacy on the vendor's own site. When a tool overlaps with something we already give away free, we say so and point you to it: a lesson planner, a worksheet maker, an assessment tool, a study tool, or a guide.
