Reacquaint Yourself with Twee — The AI Tool That Builds Classroom Resources Fast
12 Tech Tips of Christmas 2025 – Evolve EdTech
Well, hello everybody and welcome back to Day Nine of the 12 Tech Tips of Christmas for 2025! It’s lovely to see you again — and if you’re reading this from anywhere in Australia right now… I hope you’ve got the fan on because wow, it’s been an absolute scorcher.
Today’s tip is a bit of a throwback in the best way possible.
Sometimes the best thing we can do with EdTech is revisit tools we’ve explored before — because let’s be real: great tools can fall out of our “brain hold”, and then we forget how powerful they actually are.
So for Day 9, we’re getting reacquainted with a tool I’ve loved for years:
Twee (twee.com)
A Quick Story: How I Found Twee
Fun fact: I didn’t actually discover Twee myself.
I learned about Twee from my wonderful work mum, Kerry, who introduced me to it in the early days. I fell in love with it immediately… and since then, it’s grown into a seriously powerful AI tool built with teachers in mind.
It’s evolved so much that it absolutely deserves a spot in your EdTech toolkit — even if you’re only using it occasionally.
What Is Twee?
Twee is an AI-powered tool designed specifically for teachers, helping you create high-quality learning resources in just a few clicks.
It can generate:
questions and comprehension activities
worksheets and lesson tasks
vocabulary activities
speaking prompts
warm-ups and discussion starters
reading passages (and activities from them)
and so much more
The best part? Like any good AI assistant, it can be tailored to:
your students’ age group
your subject area
your learning goals
the type of task you want to build
And I’ll say it again (because it matters):
AI is not here to replace you.
It’s here to assist you.
You still need to check, proofread, adjust, and ensure everything is appropriate — but Twee can save you a truckload of time while still leaving you with creative control.
“But Isn’t Twee Just for Language Teachers?”
Twee’s homepage often talks about “language lessons”, and I get why that might make some educators hesitate.
But here’s the mindset shift:
Twee is useful for every teacher because literacy is everyone’s job.
Whether you teach English, Science, History, PDHPE, Geography, TAS, Primary, Secondary — if students are reading, writing, speaking, listening, or thinking… Twee can support you.
Keep an open mind with it. The outputs can be adapted to almost any learning area.
Pricing: Trial vs Paid (and a Smart Reminder)
Twee offers a free trial option, which is perfect for dipping your toes in and experimenting.
There are also paid plans (including Pro), and I’ll be honest:
I’m currently a paying subscriber.
However — real talk — I also accidentally forgot I had the subscription until I decided to feature Twee in this Christmas series. 😂
So here’s the lesson from me to you:
Choose subscriptions strategically.
Don’t pay for tools you’re not actively using.
(And yes… I’m putting “use Twee more in 2026” on my own teacher to-do list.)
The Twee Dashboard: What You’ll See
Once you log in, Twee has a clean, simple interface (thank goodness).
On the left, you’ll find:
Tools (the resource builders)
Library (everything you’ve created)
options for folders and organisation
some newer features like classes/live lessons (which I’m planning to explore properly in 2026)
You don’t need to use everything. The key is choosing the tools that match your purpose.
And if you find a tool you love? Star it. Favourite it. Make it easy to access. Your future self will thank you.
What Can Twee Create? Real Classroom Examples
Let’s run through a few practical examples from the Day 9 episode that show how Twee can build a mini-lesson in minutes.
Example 1: Build a Reading Passage + True/False Questions
One powerful workflow in Twee is:
Create a short text
Generate an activity from that text
For example, you can request a text on a topic like The Hero’s Journey, choose:
a target age/grade
genre (e.g. descriptive article)
word count range
Then Twee generates the text instantly.
From there, you can generate:
True/False statements
and (even better) it includes:
the correct answers
and a justification/explanation for each one
That answer key feature is brilliant — especially if you’re away and leaving work for a relief teacher.
Example 2: Add Discussion Questions Instantly
Once the text exists, you can keep building:
discussion questions
comprehension prompts
writing tasks
It becomes a bit like a web — create one thing, then branch out into multiple activities without starting from scratch again.
Example 3: Upgrade or Simplify Text
This is a sneaky powerful one.
You can take the same passage and:
simplify it for accessibility
or upgrade it to increase vocabulary complexity
Perfect for differentiation, or for building a scaffolded learning sequence.
Example 4: Export to Google Docs, PDFs… Even Google Forms
Twee makes it easy to move your resources into your workflow.
You can export activities as:
PDFs
documents
Google Docs
and even Google Forms (which is a big win if you want self-marking quizzes or quick checks for understanding)
That means Twee doesn’t just create resources — it can help you deliver them quickly too.
Using Video in Twee: Questions from YouTube Clips
Another great feature: you can paste in a video link (e.g. from YouTube or TED-Ed) and Twee can generate questions from the spoken content.
You can create:
open-ended questions
multiple-choice questions
true/false questions
And once again… it provides suggested answers. Chef’s kiss.
Teacher hack:
If your plan limits video length, you can work in segments by trimming the clip and running multiple times. A little extra setup, but still much faster than writing everything manually.
Beyond Reading: There’s a “Truckload” of Tools
Twee includes tools across categories like:
Reading
Vocabulary
Writing
Speaking
Grammar
Literacy
Utility tools (task builders, lists, prompts, etc.)
Examples you might explore:
fill-in-the-gaps
matching activities
vocabulary lists
essay topic generators
speaking prompts and role-play scenarios
You don’t need to use every tool. Pick the ones that support what you already teach — and let Twee do the heavy lifting for drafts and starting points.
Final Thoughts: Twee as Your AI Teaching Assistant
Twee is a reminder of something important:
Sometimes the most powerful tools aren’t brand new — they’re the ones we already know… and just need to revisit.
Used intentionally, Twee can help you:
plan faster
differentiate more easily
build question sets in minutes
create reading and listening activities quickly
keep your lessons engaging without burning yourself out
And that’s the goal, isn’t it?
Work smarter — and keep the joy in teaching.
