Almanack vs Education Copilot

Almanack is a web platform for educators planning curriculum lessons and classroom resources across subjects, grade levels, and languages. Teachers can adjust a lesson’s reading level, topic, content, and pacing while keeping the unit structure intact. It can create below-grade, above-grade, ELL, and IEP versions aligned to the same standards, and generate assessments tied to standards, letter grades, and curriculum units with gradebook-ready artifacts. The free plan costs nothing and includes standards-aligned lesson planning, curriculum design, a lesson and unit planner, slides, basic worksheets and activities, quizzes and assessments, educational games, and custom video recommendations. Almanack lists integrations including Google Classroom, Google Forms, Kahoot, GimKit, Blooket, Wayground, Quizlet, Google Slides, Google Docs, PowerPoint, Word, and PDF. Its Google Classroom integration can import courses, publish lessons as assignments, and display classwork in Almanack course pages. School and district users can sign in through Google, Microsoft Entra ID, Clever, or ClassLink, depending on district configuration.

Education Copilot is a web-based AI toolkit for teachers creating classroom resources. Its tools generate lesson plans, worksheets, handouts, slides, rubrics, quizzes, student reports, writing prompts, and unit plans. Teachers can request alignment to Common Core, state standards, or standards and curriculum specified in a prompt. Depending on the resource, generated materials can be edited and exported to PDF, Word, Google Docs, or slides. The Free plan costs nothing and includes access to three core AI templates, lesson plans and handouts, editing and exporting, training videos, and community support. Pro costs $9 a month, billed annually at $108/year, and includes 10+ templates, unlimited usage and storage, and access to all AI tools. The pricing page says the toolkit works best for teachers with students in grades 4 and up. The site recommends not entering students’ personally identifiable information and advises users to follow school or district AI guidelines. School and district plans are available by request.
