These are all fair points, no doubt.

Respectfully, my response is that teachers are highly trained professionals and most of us take the job very seriously. The teacher generating the presentation will review the content for accuracy before presenting it, no different than a teacher suggesting links or YouTube videos for students to use as a basis for research.

All the content and activities are editable and after an Undergrad and often a Masters, I feel that the teacher is perfectly qualified to make any adjustments necessary.

I do understand your sentiment though.



> The teacher generating the presentation will review the content for accuracy before presenting it

First header on front page: "Craft Engaging Lessons in Minutes."

Further down: "Seriously. You will be done prepping a full lesson in minutes instead of hours"

If we're no longer "crafting in minutes" then you might consider the disclaimers that ChatGPT adds warning that all content must be thoroughly reviewed by a suitably qualified professional.

Rather then blanket statements that everything that ChatGPT produces is fully compliant.

If you teach in Australia, this is huge. SlideHero aligns lessons with the Australian Curriculum, so you can confidently say, “This meets the Achievement Standards.”


Thanks for your feedback


It looks like teachers are actually creating presentations in minutes with this tool.

I'm an Aussie teacher, but in the same boat as everybody else. Swamped and time poor.

Recently we had some pastoral care activities for National Sorry Day and I whipped up a quick presentation 5mins before home group lol.

"lol" indeed.


>It looks like teachers are actually creating presentations in minutes

That's wonderful! I assume the presentation did not require more than 5mins to review, maybe it was only 2 slides :)

>what is, in your view, the purpose of your job?

To teach! Creating PowerPoints isn't what makes me a teacher. SlideHero's purpose is to free a teacher from the drudgery so they can focus on what matters, and 99% of that is the face-to-face interactions with kids.

>More than setting an example that research is unnecessary

Gpt is just a tool my friend, just like any other. In this scenario the teacher is the credentialed expert in the room using Gpt as a junior assistant for the purpose of making some slides. Of course the expert reviews the content and chooses the suitable content, that's why they're the expert :)
