Can teachers use textbook pages with AI tools?
Teachers ask this every week. This is general information, not legal advice. Rules differ by country, publisher and licence, so check the terms of your book and your school’s policy when in doubt.
Steps
Check your licence
Your school or your own copy of a book usually comes with terms. Some publishers allow classroom use, others are stricter about copying.
Use the page for your own classes
Generating extra practice for your own students is different from redistributing the book. Do not publish the original page text where the public can copy it.
Prefer new content over copies
Ask for original examples and exercises that follow the structure of the page rather than reproducing it.
Keep students’ personal data out
Never upload pages that contain student names, photos or work. Redact them first.
Cite the source inside the page
Add a linked resource such as “Student book, page 42”, so students know where to look in the original.
Who is responsible?
You are. The tool processes what you give it and produces a draft. You decide what to upload, what to change and what to publish. Our Terms say the same in more detail.
When in doubt
Ask your school, your publisher’s educator support or your own legal adviser. If the answer is unclear, use a page you wrote yourself or a source that is openly licensed.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pick Two Activity own what I upload?
No. You keep your rights. You give us permission to process your files so we can provide the service.
Can students see the original textbook page?
Only if you add it as a linked resource. The page shows the new content that was generated and edited.
