How much time could this save you if you're building with AI?

How much time could this save you if you're building with AI?

I recently launched a small digital product called TOVRILO for people building apps and websites with AI.

Instead of immediately trying to sell the $59 product everywhere, I decided to make part of the process genuinely useful for free.

I created a 15-minute launch audit with 20 checks around access, data, payments, AI costs, UX, monitoring and recovery.

The idea is that someone can use the free audit, get value from it, and only look at the full product if they actually need more help.

Curious what people here think about that approach. For a brand-new product, would you focus on growing the free resource first or start testing direct paid offers at the same time?

What do PE substitutes actually need included in the plan?

I think it is easy to write a sub plan that makes sense to us because we automatically fill in the missing details. We know where the equipment is, how students enter, which rules need to be repeated, and what to change when an activity is not working. A substitute knows none of that.

I try to include setup, safety expectations, transitions, equipment locations, and a simpler backup option. Those details are usually more useful than adding another paragraph describing the activity. What is something you always include in your sub plans because you learned the hard way that it matters?

Do you write anything down after teaching a lesson?

I used to assume I would remember what worked the next time I taught the same lesson. Then a few months would pass and I would have no idea why I changed the groups, skipped part of the activity, or spent an extra day on a skill.

I’ve found that one quick note about what worked and one thing to change is usually enough. It might be that the directions were too long, students needed smaller groups, or a modification worked better than the original activity. It takes a minute, but it saves a lot of time when the lesson comes up again.

Do you keep lesson reflections anywhere, or are you mostly relying on memory like I did?

What would actually need to be included in a month-long PE or Health sub plan?

A teacher recently told me that an AI-generated sub plan is helpful if you’re out for a day, but they’re going to be out for an entire month. That made me think about how different those two situations really are.

A substitute covering several weeks doesn’t just need random activities. They need lessons that connect, clear equipment and setup instructions, modifications, assessments, pacing, and some way to know whether students are actually progressing.

For transparency, I’m building WellnOS for PE and Health teachers, and I’m exploring how long-term sub planning could eventually work inside the platform. I don’t want it to simply generate 20 unrelated lessons and call that a solution. It would need to feel like an organized unit that another teacher could realistically follow.

If you’ve ever prepared for an extended absence or taken over for another teacher, what information was most important? What was usually missing?

Wildest things students have said to you

I've been teaching PE / Health for the last 11 years and I have been all over the map as far as grade levels (3K-12) and demographics. I have taught the mega wealthy students in a boarding school with a tuition of 80K per year and title I schools where all of the students are on a free breakfast and lunch program. So, my experience is pretty varied to say the least.

I have been called some outrageous things during that time and have heard some even crazier things said to other students and faculty. I know 1000% that I am obviously not the only one going through this and was just curious, what are some of the wildest things students have said to you?

Today was one of those days that felt like a week, so I could use a good laugh.

After 11 years teaching PE/Health, I built the tool I wish I had as a teacher

I’ve been teaching PE and Health for 11 years, and one of the things that has always bothered me is how much time we spend doing everything around teaching.

Lesson plans, assessments, finding resources, making slides, fitness testing, curriculum mapping, sub plans, rubrics, etc. A lot of it ends up getting done after school or at home.

Over the past year I started building something to see if I could make that process easier.

It turned into WellnOS.app, a platform specifically for PE and Health teachers.

Right now it includes things like:

  • PE & Health lesson planning
  • Curriculum/year planning
  • Fitness testing and individual student progress
  • Rubrics, quizzes, tests, worksheets, and assessments
  • Slideshows and visual aids
  • Sub plans
  • Field Day planning
  • Teaching resources

I also built a Teacher Voice section into it where teachers can submit problems, ideas, and feature requests because I don’t want to assume I know what every PE/Health teacher needs just because I’ve been doing it for a while.

It’s finally live at wellnos.app, and there’s a 14-day trial if anyone wants to mess around with it.

More than anything right now, I’m looking for feedback from actual PE and Health teachers.

If you try it, tell me what sucks.

Seriously.

What takes too many clicks? What’s missing? What would you never use? What would actually save you time during the school year?

I’d rather build this based on what teachers actually need than what I think they need.

Ask me anything

I’ve been in the education field for 11 years as a physical education and health teacher.

I’ve worked with students from 3K through 12th grade. I’ve worked in both private and public education across NY and CT. I’ve coached high school student-athletes on the wrestling mat, baseball field, and volleyball court. I’ve also been a house parent to international students from all over the world.

And over those 11 years, I’ve learned a lot — some through great mentors and experiences, and plenty through making mistakes and figuring things out the hard way.

I listened to a podcast today that got me thinking about how much knowledge and experience we all accumulate without ever really sharing it with the people who could benefit from it.

So I want to change that.

If you’re a new PE or health teacher, a college student getting ready to enter the profession, a coach, or even an experienced teacher looking for another perspective — ask me something.

Lesson planning. Classroom management. PE activities. Health curriculum. Coaching. Working with difficult students. Building relationships. Surviving your first year. Burnout. Technology in education. Things I wish I knew when I started.

Whatever.

Drop a question in the comments or send me a message. If I have experience with it, I’ll give you the best answer I can. No course. No sales pitch. No gatekeeping.

And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll tell you that too.

I’d like to start using this page for more than just posting what I’m working on. I want to share some of the things 11 years in education have taught me and hopefully make someone else’s job a little easier.

Teachers: what’s one thing you’re struggling with right now that you wish you could ask another educator?

How to edit visual aids in WellnOS

The overwhelming majority of comments related to the resources I have been posting has been very positive! But that does not mean that they are the perfect teacher tool and that is what I'm striving for.

One concern that came up several times was that there are too many words on the visual aid. I wanted to demonstrate the ability to quickly edit visual aids on WellnOS.

Want less text? Delete the text and the text box goes with it

Made a mistake? Press the undo or redo arrow and you're all good

Image is too small? Press the A+ sign to make it larger

Don't like the image? Type in what you want to see in the text field below the image, then click regenerate (↺)

Let me know if these are helpful edits or if you are looking for additional features!

Visual Aids - Skill Breakdown for Volleyball Bump Pass

A gym poster is not useful if students need to stand two feet away and read a paragraph.

Here is a quick look at the WellnOS Visual Aid Creator. The goal is simple: clear cues, age-appropriate language and visuals that can actually support instruction.

Would you use something like this in your gymnasium or classroom?

WellnOS - Rubric Bank Feature

Rubrics should speed up feedback, not create another paperwork problem.

The WellnOS Rubric Builder helps teachers create age-appropriate criteria and performance levels in 10 seconds with the ability to edit every field. Teachers can adjust the scale, add a student checklist with saved rosters, and score directly on a phone or other device. It also creates Student Self-Assessments and Peer Assessments.

The AI provides the starting structure. The teacher decides what quality looks like. Here is a demo video of the functionality.

Comment a feature for a future live example!

WellnOS Lesson Plan Generator Demo

A lesson generator is only useful if the result feels teachable.

WellnOS uses the information a teacher provides: grade, activity, time, equipment, standards and student needs—to create an editable lesson with objectives, success criteria, learning activities, assessment and supporting materials.

This is meant to accelerate professional planning, not replace it. The teacher stays in control of every field and gets to focus on what they love.. TEACHING!

You can skip from .14 - .31 of the video, it took 17 seconds to generate this national and state standard aligned lesson. I remember spending hours during my student teaching semester writing lessons, making assessments, and coming up with resources. That's why I made WellnOS, to give PE and Health teachers back their precious time. I'll attach 2 sample resources as well in the comments, I cannot attach it to the original post.

Let me know your thoughts!

WellnOS - A Physical / Health Education operating system

One lesson from building WellnOS: a feature can technically work and still not be useful enough for a teacher.

I have rebuilt pieces of the platform after looking at the output through a teacher's eyes: Is it clear? Is it editable? Is it age appropriate? Would I actually use this tomorrow?

The goal is not to generate more content. The goal is to produce better starting points that save teachers time without taking away their judgment. That is why I steered in the direction of giving full control to the teachers and not selling a pre-packaged set of lessons. Here is a few images of the UI. Let me know your thoughts or questions you may have!
