📰 Editor Notes
This app is designed for adult educators, coaches, and technology staff who publish a recurring newsletter. Not intended for direct student use.
How it works:
- Set your masthead once. The title, organization line, and byline are all optional beyond the title, so the output stays district-neutral if you leave them generic.
- Choose your newsletter colors with the three pickers or a preset palette. Colors carry through the preview, embed code, downloaded HTML, and PDF, so every district can brand the same issue their own way.
- Choose a coverage focus, reader lens, and the sections you want, then tap Write This Week’s Issue.
- Use Local & District Notes for your own announcements and dates. This section is typed by you and rendered exactly as written; it is never included in any AI prompt, so district details stay out of AI provider logs and dates cannot be paraphrased. Leave it blank and the section disappears, keeping the issue district-neutral.
- The AI writes a complete issue: trends with linked sources, a tool spotlight, quick tips, a security reminder, and a watch list. Links are checked against a list of known education publishers and tools.
- Topics covered in earlier issues this session are automatically avoided, so week two will not repeat week one.
- Publish with Copy Embed Code for Google Sites, download the standalone HTML file, or print to PDF.
- Every issue automatically includes an AI Content Notice footnote disclosing AI assistance and reminding readers to verify links independently. It appears in all outputs and cannot be accidentally left off.
Superpowers Used:
- AI Uses TeacherHive’s AI Superpower via
THive.ai.generateText(). One AI call per issue. Auth and billing are handled by the TeacherHive platform.
🔒
Do not enter student names, staff email addresses, or any sensitive information in the masthead or theme fields. Review every issue before publishing. AI-generated links and claims should be spot-checked, especially anything you cite to your community.
