Daytical vs Mosaic Instructional Planning

Daytical is a digital teacher planner and micro learning management system for K–12 educators. It supports yearly, unit and lesson planning, as well as daily and weekly routines. Teachers can run lesson rooms to share classwork and review submissions; course tools include rosters, checklists and attendance tracking. Worksheet exercises can be marked automatically with feedback, though teachers remain responsible for accurate and fair assessment. Its AI agent helps draft teaching materials and can search the web, generate images and access Google Drive files selected by the user. Google sign-in is available, and Drive access is limited to individually selected files. Users can export materials in PDF and CSV formats and export account data. The installable progressive web app works on laptops and phones. The maker says roster data is not sent to AI providers and lists FERPA, COPPA and GDPR compliance. A 14-day trial is available, and the teacher plan is $12 a year, billed $144 once a year.

Mosaic Instructional Planning is a web-based lesson-planning platform for K–12 educators. It includes organization, state, and national standards and shows each standard’s rigor. A coaching panel follows objectives through planning to align objectives, activities, and assessments. Supported approaches include the Hess Rigor Matrix, Bloom’s Taxonomy, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, Multiple Entry Points, edTPA, and Universal Design for Learning. Mosaic prompts multiple entry points at three thinking levels, while Exploration recommends question and discussion stems based on standards and rigor. Plans can generate a student note-taking guide for printing and translation into 13 languages. Offerings target individual teachers, schools, and districts, with students and families presented as beneficiaries. Individual packages list virtual onboarding, 24/7 support, and one-to-one preservice teaching. School packages include curriculum, implementation, onboarding, and training. Pricing is available on request through a demo.
