Education Copilot vs Make My Lesson

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.

Make My Lesson creates curriculum-aligned teaching packs, including lesson plans, presentations, classroom activities, and assessments. Plans can contain standards-aligned objectives, timings, differentiation, and Bloom’s balance. Its presentation stage uses lesson objectives to produce a slide deck calibrated to the lesson’s duration, with speaker notes. Activity materials include a student sheet and teacher answer key; assessment materials include a paper and mark scheme. The service lists 69 curriculum routes across Australia, the UK, Canada, International Baccalaureate, and US/AP, along with 16 teaching methods. Teachers can export PDFs and PowerPoints, download ZIP files, print, or share to Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams. Android, iOS, and web platforms are listed. The Free plan includes five generations and requires no card; the listed Monthly plan is $9.99 a month. The pricing note also says paid plans start at $15.99/mo. Unused paid credits expire at the end of the plan period. Lesson inputs are sent to US-based AI providers, which are instructed not to train on them; teachers are advised not to enter identifying student information.
