I’m excited about the possibilities, but full of questions (& this terrifies me)! 😬😊

I'm most excited about using AI to help me as a teacher to provide timely feedback, and incorporating it with my students for them to be able to practice with a virtual "coach" outside of the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I’m always looking for up-to-date things to incorporate into my classes! Though I have only had few ELL students, I’m eager to see what I can glean from this to have in my tool box for future students! 😊

HelloHistory.ai

Chat with historical figures. In the Spanish classroom (didn't try with other WLs, but if it works as well as Spanish it should be a similar outcome) this would need to be used for a Level 3 / AP activity since the language used by the historical figures is native-level (makes sense lol), even for simple questions like "¿Cuál fue tu comida favorita?" (What was your favorite food?).

I also tried chatting with Salvador Dalí, which would be a cool activity for the students to chat with famous artists, especially for AP, however combine native-level fluency with high-level art vocabulary and the students will likely have a difficult time if they're trying to only use head knowledge

Students only have access to 20 free messages total with any of the historical figures, so there would have to be guidelines with a project/assignment.

Diffit created a text with a summary and questions, but when I clicked on Resources it gave generic templates.

Magic School looks awesome, but is not free.

Pictory will translate a video but you have to pick a language. If the video is partly and German and partly in English, you can choose only 1 language.

Pictochart created an infographic from just adding a topic.

Has language and grade level options on reading articles. I searched for history of Panama canal and it looks great. It looks like a great tool with the grade level option to use in various accommodation levels

There are a few tools that I will be using from this site.

1. Presentation Maker- It made a presentation within minutes in the target language. I used Spanish.

2. Rubric Maker- Very helpful in creating rubrics.

3. Letter of recommendation generator- I had a couple students ask me for a recommendation. This tool will be very helpful in the future.

The major areas that I need to focus on this year is lesson planning and time management since I have 2 periods for Spanish and the rest of the day for library. For that reason I focused on tools such as TeachAid and Eduaide.ai to make those jobs easier. I am excited at the possibilities they can offer.

As the media specialist in my school, I also look for ways to help other teachers in their classes. I plan to share Hello History and Twee immediately and look forward to introducing others as the year progresses.

We are loving Brisk and are unable to stop! 😅 We have made a syllabus and quizzes and a presentation. We are still exploring this!

We tried Pictory and it is limited to 14 days and then 30 videos a month. Not very friendly for our district. I did add a students “conversation” and it allows the student to voice the words and then it created the video. That was cool!

Diffit - I chose the topic "The Maya Empire" then chose 6th grade reading level. It gave a reading with images of Maya ruins, a summary, vocab words and definitions, multiple choice questions, short answer questions, and open response prompts! Resources also included.

ChatPDF - I uploaded a handout about ser vs. estar, and it was summarized (in Enlgish or Spanish) and then it asked me questions to check for understanding. I also asked it to generate some practice questions.

Twee

Create reading and vocabulary lessons, breaking news story lessons as well as listening lessons

Provides activities for reading, listening, speaking, writing, vocabulary, and grammar

Provides access to 14 different languages through beta versions including Spanish, French, German in addition to English

Reading tools: Create a text, open questions, multiple choice, true/false, dialogue based on topic, titles for texts, reading bits, simply or upgrade.

Vocabulary tools: fill in the gap, definition matching, sentences with target vocabulary, essential vocabulary, word formation, communication strategies, matching halves, word-translation matching, rephrase the word

Writing tools: essay topics, famous quotes, four opinions, link words into sentences, creative writing

I love using this app to generate a transcript of the text of a video. I prepare my students by first doing a reading activity with the transcript before I have the students do listening activities with the actual video. It allows me to front load the information before the students get to practice their listening skills.

Diffit

Allows you to provide an article or video by URL, a text document(by copy & paste or by PDF), ask the AI to generate a topic in order to get differentiated resources.

create resources in 70+ languages

allows differentiation of the text as well as resources. It's listed by grades; however, the lower grades would be representative of novice with higher grades leading to the advance level of the language.

I teach two different levels of IB Spanish; however, I must cover the same themes in each course. This program will allow me to utilize the same text or video based on one of the themes. All that I have to do is bump up the difficulty level for the more advanced class.

Quizizz.

I can absolutely see how it can make tedious things like quizzes and rubrics a breeze. I will also start implementing them as study resources. Also, I do a lot of research and project based learning. This will be great for some hands on “games” that still build and they can learn on what we are learning.

ALSO

Hello History.

They will get much more out of it if they can “speak” to ancient figures that we are discussing! I love this one.

Love that it has an extension ( I love click of a button things) and it looks like languages are available and adjustable reading levels!

goblin.tools

Neat tools on the site:

Magic ToDo

Breakdown things into steps/chunks

Great for helping students with essays and projects

I know that sometimes my students get stuck trying to write at the same level in Spanish as they're able in English, so seeing the steps broken down to think through what's being asked, what they'll have to write, and what structures to use will be helpful for students that get stuck.

Can also be great for teachers when we feel overwhelmed by what needs to be done. For lesson planning, could put in the concept or theme you want to address for that unit, and it can help you break down different aspects to address

Formalizer

Change tone of a message.

For students, good for practicing writing in formal vs informal situations

For teachers, good ways to tone down those responses to students, parents, admin etc. that we might want to tone down / sleep on before hitting send ;)

The Professor

Give a crash course on a topic

Great for simplifying a grammar structure for students in different words from what you've been using. Could also use it to provide simplified explanations and examples for study guides, etc.

Good for teachers if there's something you need to brush up on (subjunctive anyone? :)

Some of the ones I wanted to try are blocked on our school internet (gemini, Antimatter), so I've emailed to get access. I played with Khanmigo and can see several things that I might be able to use. I asked it to give me clear directions for an assignment that I already give, and it broke it down nicely.

I already use ChatGPT and Canva AI tools for things I do related to testing and the library media center.

I do look forward to taking time to look at some of the others.

I worked in goblin.tools. My entire class is Autistic/ADHD plus. Tasks have to be broken down to the very simplest instructions. Goblin can do this and you can make a checklist to be printed.

Goblin Tools, Canva, and even Brisk teaching, are huge helps. Looking at these from a special ed point of view these tools help break down the lessons into easier bites and focus on what the students need in that moment. Canva helps to create something to help keep their attention.

Played with MagicSchool AI and generated questions from a Youtube video for a VA course I am helping co-script. Took only a few seconds instead of me having to watch the video...

Ashley Maxwell- Pictory is really interesting.  It can generates videos and images quickly and then allow you to replace the ones you would like to change.

I looked into Perplexity (Brisk will be next!) and I looked into multi-media project ideas to incorporate into my To Kill a Mockingbird unit (freshest unit on my mind). It is SO good! I did check it to translate into Spanish for a glance and it was so fast. I would def. check with the Spanish teacher to see if it would need to be modified.
