The fifteen-minute lesson, condensed
- Open Source Material and paste, import, or generate a text (Prepare a lesson).
- Open Universal Settings once: grade, language, translations (Universal Settings).
- Generate two or three resources; review each before students see it.
- Preview, Package, Deliver, then test the student link yourself.
Keys worth knowing
| Press | What happens |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K) | The command palette: type what you want ("open the glossary", "math minute") and it takes you there. Ctrl+Shift+P does the same. |
| ? | Help Mode on or off: click anything highlighted for a plain-language explanation. |
| Esc | Closes the palette, leaves Help Mode, backs out of most dialogs. |
Talking to AlloBot, condensed
- Just talk. Ordinary speech gets a conversational answer; nothing you say is "wrong."
- Anything that would change the screen is offered first; say yes to do it, or keep talking and the offer fades.
- Say "command" before a phrase to skip the offer and act immediately.
- "Stop reading" and the read-aloud controls always act instantly.
- The voice indicator names its state in words: Listening, Paused, Thinking, Speaking. A small meter shows your voice being heard. (AlloBot)
Where things live
| You want | Go to |
|---|---|
| Narrow the tool list | Find a tool at the top of the sidebar (says in words when a filter is on) |
| A message that vanished | The header lightbulb → Messages |
| Your saved work | AI settings → Open saved work |
| A finished copy vs a blank copy | Export: Print / Save as PDF vs Worksheet (Documents and printing) |
| One tool to share with anyone | Its direct link, no sign-in needed (Start here) |
| Timed math practice | Math tool → Mode, or Ctrl+K then "math minute" (Math Fluency) |
| Turn Adventure off for an assignment | Project Settings → "Include Adventure in this assignment" (Adventure Mode) |
| "AI extras: off" in the STEAM Lab | Nothing is broken; click the pill for the three ways to turn AI on (Troubleshooting) |
| Fix an inherited PDF | The remediation workflow: audit, Make Accessible, review, export with evidence (Make a document accessible) |
The habits that prevent the common problems
- Review before delivery, every time. A fluent answer can still be wrong (Privacy and responsible AI).
- Set Universal Settings before generating, not after: they apply to new work only.
- Test the student link as a student before class, and again after a meaningful revision.
- Save Project when a lesson matters: work lives on this device, and the project file is your backup.
