At present, I have decided to turn this into a weekly feature that will showcase new and free artificial intelligence tools that could be utilized in the classroom. The latest additions include:
– The Brisk Teaching extension for Chrome, which provides easy access to various AI tools, directly from where you are already working.
– Several AI-powered tools that could be beneficial for English Language Learner students, although many of them, including Duolingo, lack appropriate student privacy agreements accepted by most school districts.
– The idea that the best tool is one that you create yourself to avoid using the wrong tool for the task at hand.
Furthermore, there is a video added to the list, along with a tweet highlighting the importance of being cautious around educational technology. The tweet discusses the excitement around generative AI in edtech and the potential risks associated with customizing word problems for students.
Lastly, there are two new tools mentioned:
– AI Rap Battle Generator, which creates rap battles using artificial intelligence.
– Storytime, a platform that offers free stories read aloud to the audience.
These additions aim to provide educators with a diverse range of AI tools that can enhance the learning experience for students.
