SO COOL.....
1. Diffit!! I'm going to keep diffit on my list until I convince everyone just how cool it is!! Diffit - is an AI tool that will modify texts at different levels and in different languages. In addition, Diffit will create a summary, key vocabulary words, comprehension questions, and open-ended questions that work really well for class discussions. Try it and you will see that it is worth it's weight in gold! 💰🍀💚
2.Google Tools to Support all Learners - Technology Integration Specialist, Google Certified Trainer and Innovator Eric Curtis put together this document as part of his presentation at OETC.
3. SchoolAI - Designed for K12 students with built-in monitoring & controls for teachers.
4. Pixton - This lets you (or you and your students) create images and comic strips. It is so cute, and the expressions you can put on characters' faces is a good exercise in recognizing emotions!
5. Dollar Street - The project visited 264 families in 50 countries and collected 30,000 photos in order to show us normal life for normal families in many different dimension of ordinary life. This, of course, is in sharp contrast to the regular news we receive, which always show us the extremes, and thus give us a completely distorted image of the world. Her point is that people from other countries and cultures are not nearly as strange as they seem to us in the news.
