EduPrompts

EduPrompts is Eric Curts's free, growing library of pre-made AI prompts for schools — more than 160 of them, each written for a specific teaching task and published on its own page. It was called EduGems until November 2026 and still lives partly at the old /gem/ addresses, because the rename follows a platform change: Google is replacing Gemini Gems with Gemini Skills, and the library is being converted item by item. A teacher can open a prompt, read what it does, and either run it in Gemini or make a copy to adapt, which removes the blank-page problem that stops most staff from using AI at all.

What you can do with it

The library is organized by the job rather than by the model. Lesson planning and curriculum design covers 5E lesson plans, unit plans, standards unpacking, PBL generators, thinking routines, choice boards, station rotations and UDL lesson remixing. Instructional materials and content covers worksheets, guided notes, decodable texts, informational texts, vocabulary lists, slideshows, graphic novels, song lyrics and educational maps. Engagement and games holds the Jeopardy, 20 Questions, Would You Rather, odd-one-out and two-truths-and-a-lie formats, plus discussion prompts and simulations.

Five categories address specific learners and specific work. Student support and differentiation includes differentiation strategies, scaffolding and low-floor-high-ceiling tasks. Assessment, data and grading holds rubric builders, alternate assessment, an assessment data analyzer and question generators for DOK levels. Literacy, reading, writing and language covers reading comprehension coaching, thesis and writing coaching, sentence starters, text rewriting and language dialogue. Math, science and STEM carries subject-specific generators. Professional tasks and admin covers parent email, recommendation letters, PD plans, a professional learning coach and restorative justice circles. A separate AI use and integration shelf holds the meta-tools: AI expectations statements, an AI integration coach, a prompt architect, a prompt doctor, an AI-use reflection, a SAMR activity and the EduPrompt Generator that builds new prompts. Student-facing tools are marked as a category of their own, which matters for anyone deciding what to hand to a class.

Newest prompts are listed on the front page, and teachers can submit their own through the linked Google Form for consideration. The site also carries a newsletter signup, a customizer for adapting an existing prompt, and a direct contact address for the curator.

Who it is for

K–12 teachers, instructional coaches and curriculum designers who want a working prompt rather than a prompt-writing tutorial, and administrators or professional-development leads looking for a concrete artifact to put in front of staff. The student-facing section is the part to review before pointing a class at it. It is a K–12 library; higher-education instructors will find the planning and feedback formats adaptable but the examples school-shaped.

Notes and caveats

The rename is a live transition, not a finished one. Google announced in September 2026 that Skills replace Gems, and support for Gems ends in stages: personal accounts in November 2026, Workspace business, enterprise and nonprofit customers in March 2027, and Workspace education customers in June 2027. Google says existing Gems migrate into Skills automatically, and Skills currently run by typing / and the name in Gemini's prompt bar. Links on this site still point at /gem/ paths, so a bookmark may redirect or break as the conversion proceeds — check that a prompt resolves before putting it in a course.

Two access facts belong in any adoption decision. Skills are available across Google AI subscription tiers, but the rollout is 18+ for now, with under-18 access described as coming soon; and copying a prompt requires a Google account and Gemini, so this is not an anonymous tool for students. The library is a curated set of prompts, not validated instruction: each entry is a starting point whose output still needs checking, and the collection's quality claims are the curator's own. No open license is stated, so prompts can be copied and adapted inside Gemini, but the library is not something an institution can fork and host.
