Planning a lesson with your AI chat

Use it when you have an idea for a lesson and want a first draft quickly. The assistant works through your Praktikal account: it can look up curriculum outcomes, check which materials you already have, and create lessons and worksheets that then appear in My materials.

What it makes is ordinary Praktikal content, not text to copy over. You review it, change what you want, and print or present it as you would any lesson.

1. In your AI service's settings, add Praktikal as a remote MCP connection. ChatGPT calls this a custom app, Claude a custom connector. Use the server address https://api.praktikal.app/mcp/connect.

2. When the service opens the Praktikal sign-in, sign in and approve the connection. You do not need an API key or to share your password.

3. Describe the lesson: the class, the topic and what students should do, for example “Make an 8th-grade lesson on how much water a dripping tap wastes.” Add how you usually build worksheets, or ask it to use one of your saved skills.

4. Answer if it asks for details, then let it finish.

5. Open the new lesson in Praktikal and go through each worksheet.

6. Change anything with the pencil, and add questions of your own with the +.

7. Print the worksheets from Print preview, or click Present to run the lesson with your class.

• Start with one small request you can check, such as a single recap worksheet, before asking for a whole lesson.

• The connection acts as you, so it reaches only what your account can. Review proposed changes before you allow them.

• To disconnect, remove the connector in the AI service's settings.

• If you explain the same preferences in every chat, save them as a skill instead.

• Prefer to stay in Praktikal? If your plan includes it, the built-in assistant, Praktikratt, works inside the lesson editor.
