What's New in Curipod: Curipod AI and Backward Design

We doubled down on what makes Curipod special: generating lessons that build a culture of learning together—classrooms so alive with discussion and curiosity that neighboring classes can hear the joy of learning from down the hall.

Curipod puts AI to work for teachers, making high-quality, research-based instruction easier than ever.

A Smarter Way to Generate Lessons

Tap “Generate Lesson.”

NEW! Chat with Curipod AI

Just tell Curipod what you need to teach. The chat will ask follow-up questions to craft a strong learning objective—the foundation for a high-quality lesson aligned with UDL principles.

Lessons are never sit-and-get. Every Curipod lesson engages students as active participants in their own learning.

Notice the difference: Higher-quality lessons with built in interactivity and best practices.

Backward Design, Built In

Curipod lessons now start with the end in mind. Each one begins with an exit ticket aligned to your learning objective. From there, Curipod generates instructional slides and interactive activities purposefully designed to help students meet that goal.

Pro Tip: As your lesson is created, read the AI’s thinking in real time to see the research and best practices baked into every lesson.

Research-Based Best Practices

Here’s what’s built into every new lesson:

• Authentic practice with performance tasks featuring immersive images and real-world scenarios.
• Online and offline activities for a balanced learning experience—movement, discussion, and thoughtful use of technology.
• Learning as a social process—activities spark meaningful discussion.
• Focused, actionable feedback using a Write–Review–Revise cycle.

Notice the difference: A mix of online and offline activities to keep students thinking, moving, and collaborating.

Easier Lesson Refinement

Once your lesson is generated, use Curipod AI to refine:

• Add or adjust content, images, or activities.
• Make manual edits to customize your lesson for your classroom.
