What happened
Writing in Control Alt Achieve, Eric Curts reported adding 14 AI prompts to EduGems during October 2026, bringing the collection to 171. The list includes updated differentiation, Depth of Knowledge question and worksheet prompts, alongside tools for retrieval practice, worked examples, reading, writing and SIFT media literacy activities.
Why it matters
The useful distinction in Curts’s list is between generating materials and guiding learners through a process. The Worked Example Generator is described as producing examples, mistake correction and faded practice, while the Worked Example Coach guides students through those stages interactively. Similar choices appear in the Odd One Out activity maker and game. For educators and instructional designers, these descriptions offer ways to match a prompt to a teaching task, rather than treating all AI assistance as interchangeable. They do not establish learning gains or output quality.
What to do next
Choose one prompt that addresses a specific instructional need and review its output before using it with learners. For question generation, check the claimed alignment to all four Depths of Knowledge levels; for worked examples, inspect the solution, correction activity and progression toward independent practice. If considering a student-facing coach or game, test the interaction as well as the initial response. Curts’s roundup describes intended functions, but supplies no evaluation results, so treat the prompts as candidates for local testing rather than validated interventions.
