How to Use AI for Teachers: Save Time Preparing Lessons with AInara

Administrative workload and materials preparation are, according to various teacher-focused studies, the biggest “time thieves” in education. However, the arrival of applied Artificial Intelligence is changing the rules of the game, especially AI built with pedagogical goals in mind, like Smile and Learn’s AInara

Is it possible to personalize learning for 25 students without sacrificing your personal life? The answer is yes, and here’s how.

Making personalized education accessible to everyone

Traditionally, creating one resource for a gifted student and, at the same time, another on the same topic for a student with dyslexia could take hours. With AInara, that process drops to seconds.

1. Creating activities and quizzes

Preparing reading comprehension worksheets used to be long and labor-intensive: carefully reading the text, designing questions that truly assess comprehension, writing answer keys, and making sure everything was ready to print or send to students.

With AInara, that process becomes much simpler. In just a few minutes, you can generate a complete packet that includes the activity, the quiz, and the answer key, and if you need it, you can also create a text or an audio resource to enrich the learning experience. The technology supports the teacher, saving time and delivering classroom-ready materials.

• Traditional time: 45 to 60 minutes
• With AInara: 5 minutes
• Savings: 85% of the time

2. Level adaptations (UDL)

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is essential, but time-consuming. AInara makes it easy to simplify texts or increase linguistic complexity with a single click.

• Traditional time: 30 minutes per version
• With AInara: 1 minute
• Savings: 29 minutes per resource

3. Creating stories and motivating content

Need a story about the water cycle where the main characters are the students in your class? What used to require inspiration and manual writing can now be created instantly.

• Traditional time: 40 minutes
• With AInara: 5 minutes

Why AInara isn’t “just another AI”

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, AInara is integrated into the Smile and Learn ecosystem, which means:

1. It’s safe: An environment designed exclusively for teacher use. It does not require or store student data and complies with EU data protection standards.
2. It’s pedagogically grounded: Built by education experts, not just engineers.
3. It’s multilingual: Ideal for bilingual schools, enabling instant resource creation in multiple languages.

The goal of saving time is not for teachers to do less work. It is to help them do better work. Less time in front of a screen means more time for emotional support and direct observation in the classroom.

A more human future for teachers, with AI as classroom support

Smile and Learn’s AInara does not replace teachers. It gives them back their most valuable resource: time. By reducing the friction of creating materials, teachers can refocus on what matters most and return to being the inspiring guides their students need.
