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:

1. Create a short text

2. 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.
