In their own words
LessonSmith
LessonSmith is a web app that drafts lesson plans, schemes of work and support plans for individual learners. Teachers can upload a syllabus PDF or add notes, then build a week-by-week scheme against a calendar. Plans can be edited directly or revised by describing changes in plain language, and exported to Word or PDF. The service lists 11 curricula, including Kenya CBC/CBE, South Africa CAPS, England’s National Curriculum, Common Core and NGSS, IB and Cambridge International. The app and generated plans follow the teacher’s chosen language, with nine languages listed. LessonSmith has a free plan, a one-off Demo, and paid tiers. Pro costs $8 a month or KES 1,000 a month; Max costs $40 a month or KES 5,000 a month. Pro lists 40 lesson plans monthly, while Max lists 80. The maker recommends excluding learners’ personal details from prompts and reviewing every generation before classroom use.
