How Zapier's RevOps team automates lead management

Using AI & Zapier in Marketing, Sales, & RevOps

Create your first Zap with ease

Create an AI digital assistant with Zapier

But despite being the most popular, ChatGPT is far from the first AI app that hit the market. I've been playing around with AI tools for a while now, so I set out to build a list of the best ones available. What I found were hundreds of AI tools to kickstart productivity, save time, and generate ideas.

After lots of research and testing from me and the team at Zapier, here are 36 AI productivity tools that will change the way you work.

The best AI productivity tools by category

How I selected the best AI productivity app in each category

My AI app database has just crossed the 250-entry threshold. I'm pretty sure there's still a lot out there, with many new apps being launched every week.

Full transparency: I haven't tested them all (yet). The list you're about to see contains a collection of great AI productivity tools tested by Zapier's app review team, myself included. If there's a particular category you like, check out the best apps lists we've put together for them-or if we're still in the process of writing that list, run a quick Google search to find more options.

While all these apps are getting better every day, they're far from perfect: be sure to always check AI's work with your human brain. With that being said, please keep all hands and legs inside the vehicle-it's time to explore.

1. AI chatbots

The best place to start is the category that brought AI to the mainstream. AI chatbots allow you to chat with an AI large language model, letting you ask questions and get answers in a conversational style. The best chatbots use advanced reasoning and logic, write code, and make mathematical calculations.

Take a look at the full list of chatbots in our article on the best AI chatbots.

ChatGPT

is the current industry leader, and the first chatbot that set the scene on fire. It's powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 and GPT-4 models, and it's surprisingly flexible and very easy to use. Learn how to use ChatGPT, understand how it works, and discover how to use it to write marketing copy, do market research, or write sales emails.

Bard

is Google's answer to ChatGPT. It's being actively worked on to increase accuracy and to integrate it with other Google products such as Search and Workspace. Find out more about it in our ChatGPT vs. Bard comparison. (Google is also working on an AI-powered notebook called NotebookLM.)

HuggingChat

2. AI apps for content creation

Entire movies have been made about writer's block. These apps are here to break it. By entering your prompts, starting from templates, or using recipes, you can use AI models as a co-writer, helping you put together first drafts faster.

Browse all the possibilities in our list of the best AI writing generators.

Jasper

is a powerful AI content creation platform, favoring users who need a high volume of content. It packs dozens of templates to help you get started, connects to the internet to find research and sources, and also lets you generate images with AI. All your content creation needs are covered here.

You can also connect Jasper to thousands of other apps using Zapier. Learn more about how to automate Jasper or try one of the pre-built workflows below.

Copy.ai

is a slower-paced option, acting as a writing co-pilot. Each of your prompts generates a list of options, and it's up to you to pull the best ones into your document. This is better for writing tasks that require more ideation and iteration, such as copywriting.

Find out how more in our Jasper vs Copy.ai comparison. Copy.ai also integrates with Zapier, so you can do things like automatically sending content to your CMS or enriching leads straight from your CRM. Learn more about how to automate Copy. ai or try one of the pre-built workflows below.

Anyword

helps marketers create content by breaking the generation process down step by step. First, you add your prompt to generate a few titles. Then, you can pick your favorite and see a generated outline. Once you tweak that outline to what you want to cover, you can move forward to generating the final piece.

3. AI apps for text enhancement

Spell-checking has been around for a long time, but AI is changing the game. Before, it only detected spelling and basic structure errors. Now, it can spot tone and complex language and offer suggestions to make your writing clearer.

Discover all the available apps in our list of the best grammar checkers and rewording tools.

Grammarly

is the mainstream spell- and structure-checking app. It's a complete solution that keeps your English on point, lets you adjust your tone, and suggests shortcuts to simplify wordy or complex phrases. It has plenty of extensions and integrations, so you can use it almost anywhere there's a text box.

It has generative text features, too. Learn how to use them in GrammarlyGO.

Wordtune

helps you find plenty of wording alternatives to improve your text. When you input the text you want to check, you can easily browse synonyms, ask to rewrite entire sentences, and adapt the suggestions into a final draft.

ProWritingAid

4. AI apps for video generation

While full-blown video generation is still coming together, there's already a set of video tools that leverage AI to enhance video, remove backgrounds accurately, and even paint a few new images into each frame.

For the full list, see our picks for the best AI video generators.

Descript

When you connect Descript to Zapier, you can automate the work better suited for computers, so you can focus on the creative side of things. Here are a couple of pre-built workflows to get you started.

Wondershare Filmora

Runway

is a video magic wand. It has a set of interesting features that helps you generate video with AI, train your own AI models, and paint parts of frames using text prompts. The learning curve is very rewarding, and the app is growing at a great pace. Be sure to check it out.

5. AI apps for image generation

An image is worth a thousand words, but you don't need so many to generate a beautiful one with AI. These image generators take a text prompt and deliver the results-and this can be anywhere between mind-blowing to nightmare-inducing. They're both hugely entertaining and highly useful.

Read more about our picks for the best AI image generators.

DALL·E 2

is an image generator by OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. It's very simple to use and produces interesting results, no matter if you've just started writing image prompts or are already a master. A great choice to begin exploring the realm of AI image generation.

You can connect DALL·E 2 to Zapier to do things like automatically create images from transcripts, chat messages, or any other apps you use. Here are some examples.

Midjourney

Midjourney is impressive. Anything you throw at it generates incredible results-even if sometimes they're slightly off the mark. The fact that you have to use Discord to access it feels unintuitive at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be spending hours turning your imagination into colorful pixels.

Hit the ground running with our guide for how to use Midjourney.

Stable Diffusion

DreamStudio, powered by the Stable Diffusion AI model, is versatile and offers plenty of controls to help you prompt your way to the results you want. You'll have to invest a bit more time and learn how to control the model, but the reward is well worth it.

Here's how to use Stable Diffusion with DreamStudio.

6. AI apps for note-taking

We take notes because we know that one day they'll be useful. The problem is many of the notes we take will never float back to the surface. It's a real challenge to find the information we need exactly when we need it. There aren't many apps tackling this issue effectively, but Mem has consistently impressed me.

Mem

7. AI transcription apps and meeting assistants

Taking notes in meetings may reduce your focus, so why not scrap that activity entirely? AI transcription/meeting assistant apps are great to turn voice into text, letting you browse it later. This will help you be more present in your meetings and, at the same time, be able to thoroughly analyze the transcription later.

Pick your favorite in our lists of the best transcription apps and the best AI meeting assistants.

Fireflies

is great to transcribe all your meetings, tracking the conversation topics along the way. It has its own bot called Fred that can handle summarizing the meeting's contents, generating text, and searching through your history to meet your query.

Integrate Fireflies with Zapier to connect Fireflies to thousands of other apps. Here are a couple of examples.

Airgram

has all the core transcription features too. But it also adds AI data extraction on top of it, helping you extract bits of information, such as currencies, people, or places from unstructured data.

You can integrate Airgram with Zapier to automatically upload meeting notes to the cloud and automate your other meeting workflows. Here are a couple examples of how to get started.

Krisp

is actually an audio optimization tool that reduces background noise to help you sound better in meetings. While you can use it to improve your podcast or other important recordings, you can also use it to assist you in your meetings by transcribing everything.

8. AI apps for scheduling

No one loves the back and forth of setting up meetings, or any of the extra work tied to scheduling your work for the day. In an ideal world, you'd just look at your calendar, hop on meetings, and start your tasks at the marked date and time. We're getting closer to that, as AI can already take some trouble out of scheduling your work and your life.

See the full list of the best AI scheduling assistants.

Reclaim

does a great job protecting your habits, so you never miss your weekly fitness objectives or your reading targets. More than that, it'll defend the time you need to complete important tasks by rearranging your schedule.

Clockwise

is better for teams, promising to save you one hour per week-and to show you that it works, it'll schedule a one-hour break shortly after you start using it. You can adjust the settings to create your ideal day where work, breaks, and meetings live in harmony.

Motion

focuses on project management, helping you keep track of all the tasks you still have to complete. By tweaking each task priority, you'll be telling the AI engine when it should land on the calendar and how to place the other tasks around it.

By connecting Motion to Zapier, you can automatically create new Motion tasks from Slack messages, emails, and any other tool you use at work. Here are a few examples to get you started.

9. AI apps for email and inbox management

SaneBox

starts by scanning your inbox, understanding who you usually communicate with, which newsletters you receive, and what useless emails arrive every day. Based on that, it can help you delete unwanted emails, prioritize important messages, and add tags to keep things organized.

EmailTree

is a solution for customer support teams, helping you organize your inbox, follow up on messages, and automate a few replies. It does this by processing the emails you receive and suggesting the follow-up action that makes the most sense. It's then up to you to trigger it.

10. AI apps for presentations and slide decks

Your magnetic stage presence is what people came for, but they stayed because of your beautiful slide deck. Clean and beautiful slides support your performance, keep your audience engaged, and help you drive in the points that you're making. The problem? Creating a solid slide deck can take a decent chunk of time, especially if you're starting from scratch. Can AI help?

Read more about presentation software with our picks for the best PowerPoint alternatives.

Decktopus

is simple and fun to use. You enter what your presentation should be about, the target audience, and the objective. It'll put together a full presentation with text and slides, with plenty of magic buttons scattered around the user interface, helping you change images or generate text. Great for starting with a solid first draft and honing it into a powerful final version.

Beautiful.ai

Beautiful.ai delivers on its name's promise. It simplifies the process of putting together a beautiful slide deck, with all the layouts and styles figured out. Pick the colors, find royalty-free images in the library, and start putting together your presentation. If you have data that changes frequently, you can update it by using sliders and tables. The values will then change dynamically on the presentation.

Slidesgo

will let you pick the topic, writing tone, and a general template. AI generates the whole presentation for you, and from there, you can add your own content, customize each slide, and use AI to write, generate images, or generate a new slide.

11. AI apps for research

Diving into new topics takes a lot of time, and that's without counting all the tasks you need to do to keep your exploration organized. These AI-powered tools can act as an adventure sidekick, exploring the internet for you, organizing your data into digestible visualizations, and even formatting references correctly.

genei

invites you to add your research projects to the app. Then, list your project's big keywords and topics. The app will search the web for relevant content and offer you suggestions to add new sources. To find out if they're worth it, click the Overview button, and let the AI work for you: it crunches the content, offers a summary, extracts a list of common keywords along with all the images inside-and, to top it off, rounds up all the references to other work.

Aomni

uses AI agent technology to research topics for you. When you add a question or a topic, it'll generate a task list to find answers, run web searches, read the content on each page, and return a summary of the entire process.

12. AI 3D modeling

AI is spreading out of the 2D world too, generating 3D models you can use in games, virtual environments, or video. It's still in an early stage, but there are exciting developments here that could greatly reduce the time to produce high-quality 3D models and animations.

Spline AI

lets you generate scenes, objects, animations, and textures by using text prompts. If you're not happy with the initial results, you can still edit anything either with text or classic 3D tool controls.

3DFY.ai

is still in beta, but it already takes a text prompt and turns it into a 3D model. It can't generate all kinds of objects yet: right now, you can generate table lamps, sofas, or swords for gaming, among a limited list of possibilities. You can then download it in three different formats and adjust the level of detail and texture resolution.

Meshcapade

Meshcapade focuses on creating avatars, taking 2D pictures and turning them into 3D models. You can then use these avatars for designing clothes, setting up a virtual fitting room on your eCommerce shop, or improving an AR/VR experience.

13. AI agents

Wouldn't it be great if you could have a robotic assistant to complete tasks for you? This is what are setting out to do. There are definitely rough edges here right now, but as this technology keeps improving, we may be getting closer and closer to working with digital employees that can automate tasks and take more rote work off our plates.

AI Agent

lets you create your own agents: pick a name, objective, and which OpenAI model it should use to think (GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4 are available right now). Once it initializes the goal and generates the first task list, you can add your own tasks. Give it some time to complete each step: it can take a lot to process more advanced tasks.

AgentGPT

HyperWrite

HyperWrite lives inside your Chrome browser, ready to pop out to do stuff for you. It's still in alpha version, so expect plenty of bumps on the road.

14. AI apps for automation

Each of these AI productivity tools is impressive on its own, but when you want to integrate AI into your daily workflows, that means connecting AI to the other tools you already use.

Zapier

Zapier lets you automate faster by using natural language to create workflows that connect thousands of apps. Describe what you want to automate, and Zapier will draft a workflow that you can easily customize. You can even use Zapier to build your own custom chatbot.

Zapier connects to , , , Hugging Face, and thousands of other apps, so you can combine the magic of AI with the power of automation to accelerate the work that matters most.

AI for productivity: the AI-powered you

I'm a full-blown AI enthusiast. Even still, I like to think that these are merely tools. They save you time, spark ideas, and offer new angles. Remember to always use your judgment and keep your attention on the objective of what you're working on.

Another big risk: losing too much time feeding prompts to the AI, or generating so much output that it becomes difficult to edit, manipulate, and put together. Sharpen your cutting and editing skills to curb the excess, and you'll do great.

With all that in mind, it's time to enjoy. Using these apps is as entertaining as it is useful, at least while the hype remains.

These are the best AI productivity tools to help you use artificial intelligence in your daily work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ChatGPT has an almost endless list of fascinating use cases for businesses. Since its launch in November 2022, it's been asked hundreds of millions of questions by users - many of whom are using it at work - while an array of other AI tools have been called upon, too. The chatbot becomes much more valuable if you use what's called a ChatGPT prompt to inspire its responses. We're here to explain exactly what that is and highlight the best ChatGPT prompts around.

In summary, a ChatGPT prompt is a text input written in a certain way and designed to generate a specific, useful response from the AI software. Prompts are especially good at helping you complete tasks, which make them highly relevant to the workplace.

In this guide, we'll take you through awesome ChatGPT prompts for a variety of different use cases, and explain in detail how you can use them to your benefit.

What Is a ChatGPT Prompt?

A ChatGPT prompt is any text input or request you enter into ChatGPT for it to respond to. However, there are specific prompts you can use to generate certain types of answers.

Precisely how you word these prompts will make your responses more or less useful. For example, if you want ChatGPT to come up with ideas for blog posts, asking it essentially the same thing twice, but wording it slightly differently, can and often does result in different answers.

There is now a range of AI training courses available that show you how to leverage generative AI like ChatGPT effectively - but you can also learn by simply trying the tools yourself.

How to Write Good ChatGPT Prompts

In this article, we're going to go through quite a few different ChatGPT prompts, that can help with a variety of different tasks. However, writing good prompts for ChatGPT isn't rocket science - in fact, if you follow a few rules, you'll be able to get the best out of it.

Give as much context as possible: The more you explain the ins and outs of what you want ChatGPT to do, the more accurate your answer will be.

Avoid loaded language where possible: ChatGPT works best with objective facts, figures, and plain inputs, so try to be neutral and avoid subjective framing.

Be specific: Ensuring you specify a response word count, a desired tone of voice, and other specifics will decrease the likelihood you'll have to request another answer.

Specify what you don't want: It can sometimes help to tell ChatGPT to produce an amenable answer if you also specify what you don't want it to do.

Provide examples: Much like a human, ChatGPT often understands best when you provide an example for it to work with, especially if you want it to produce something that closely resembles something you've seen online.

Ask ChatGPT to "act like" someone: Sometimes, it can help to start your prompt by asking ChatGPT to "act like" a certain type of person that would be particularly well-placed to respond to the query you're posing.

The Most Useful ChatGPT Prompts for Work

Before we jump into the best Chatgpt prompts for marketing, SEO, and other specific industries and sectors, here are some general ChatGPT prompts for work.

How to get ChatGPT to simplify a concept

If you need a concise, simple explanation of something quickly, Google doesn't always provide the best answers, especially for hyper-complex topics. Luckily, using the prompt below, you can ask ChatGPT to explain just about any concept, no matter how complicated. If you're finding the explanation that the sentence below prompts ChatGPT to provide a little bit too simple, just increase the age of the person you're asking it to make the explanation suitable for.
Example: I would like to learn about [topic/subject]. Please provide me with a brief summary of [topic/subject] that could be understood by a 10-year-old.

Image: Tech.co's ChatGPT prompt testing
How to get ChatGPT to summarize meeting notes

ChatGPT can prove to be a capable assistant when it comes to summarizing meeting notes, and then constructing emails that relay the main points that were discussed.

Remember, it's a little risky to input confidential information into ChatGPT, and your company may even have a policy that forbids you from doing so. Always check in with your manager/employer first as to whether they consider this appropriate. If they do, you can use this prompt:
Example: "Below you will find meeting notes from the [your meeting] that took place on [date] and concerned [purpose of meeting]. I would like you to summarize these notes, identify the key concepts and action points that were discussed, and then create an email setting them out in an easy-to-read way. The email should contain no more than 225 words and be addressed to [your /department/meeting participants/relevant parties]. [Your meeting notes].
How to get ChatGPT to write an email

Who the email is for (family, friend, work colleague, boss)

A clear and concise summary of the subject of the email

The tone you'd like the email to be written in (e.g. polite &professional)

How long (in words) you'd like the email to be

Example: I'd like you to write an email to my manager explaining why I missed a deadline on a report that was due on July 25th. Please explain that my bathroom flooded, and this meant I couldn't finish by the pre-agreed date. Please explain the report will be handed in on the 27th instead. I'd like the tone of the email to be polite, professional, and apologetic. I don't want it to sound like I'm groveling. I'd like the email to be no longer than 150 words.
If you want ChatGPT to write an email for you, there's a variety of different prompts you can use - and you're probably going to need a slightly different format for every single one. However, in every ChatGPT email prompt, you should include:

Image: Tech.co's ChatGPT prompt testing
Again, as with many tasks, we'd advise using a ChatGPT response like the one above as inspiration/a template, rather than copying it verbatim. Unless you provide it with sufficient detail and a personal touch - which is important for correspondence such as an apology - it may seem disingenuous.

How to get ChatGPT to create a meeting agenda

If you want ChatGPT to create an agenda for a meeting for you, make sure you specify how long the meeting is scheduled to go on for.

Although you'll have to provide a little bit of detail about what the meeting is about, this prompt will provide suggestions on how it might be good to structure each suggestion:
Example: I would like you to create an agenda for my meeting about [meeting subject]. In the meeting, I would like to discuss [list of things that need to be discussed]. I'd like it to be set out so the meeting runs smoothly. The scheduled meeting duration is [specified time].

Best ChatGPT Prompts for Marketing

Here, we'll go through some of the best ChatGPT prompts for digital marketing, that you can use to transform your strategy and save yourself valuable time at the same time. Of course, you can ask ChatGPT to help you with almost any marketing-related task - so we'd also recommend having a crack at prompting it yourself, whatever campaign you're working on.

Just remember to include as much information as possible about what you want - and don't want - from the chatbot. Below, where we've put [product/brand], for example, ideally you should be going beyond just the name or a basic description. Explain what the product/brand does, why it's useful, and its core purpose.

15 ChatGPT marketing prompts

1. List common pain points and challenges faced by [a customer persona].

ChatGPT Resume Prompts

If you want ChatGPT to give you suggestions for how you should structure your resume, you may have to enter some personal information about your work history for it to work with. However, as we've already alluded to, ChatGPT creators OpenAI will save your data and it reserves the right to use it to train its chatbots using it - so make sure you read the privacy policy first.

How to get ChatGPT to review your resume

Use this ChatGPT resume prompt to get ChatGPT to review an existing resume that you've already made:
I want you to act as a resume reviewer. I will input my resume, and I would like you to respond with some feedback on it. I'd like you to base your feedback on these six questions:

How do I make my resume more scannable?

Is my resume structured correctly?

How do I make my resume more readable?

How to get ChatGPT to interview you for a job

If you want ChatGPT to help you practice for an interview, to stop it from just generating both sides of the conversation like a script, you have to really insist on it not writing the candidate's (i.e. your) side of the conversation. You can use this prompt to achieve this:
I would like you to act as an interviewer interviewing for a [position], and I will be the candidate applying for the role. You will ask me to interview questions, and I will respond to them. Please ask one question at a time, and I exclusively want you to reply as the interviewer. I want you to just do the interview with me. Do not write explanations, and do not write what the candidate might say. Do not write all the conversation at once. Your first question should be "how are you today?

What is the DAN Prompt for ChatGPT?

DAN - which stands for "Do Anything Now" - is the name for a class of prompts used to "jailbreak" ChatGPT, causing it to respond in ways that are considered outside its normal remit and content moderation standards. There are different DAN prompts for different versions of ChatGPT, and they're quite easy to find online.

When you type in one of the DAN prompts from one of these repositories, you get a message that's something like this (it will be dependent on the specific DAN prompt you enter).

Image: Tech.co ChatGPT prompt testing
Beware - DAN, as well as spinoffs, are designed to get ChatGPT to operate outside of the content rules created for it. This means it can - and often does - generate offensive or inappropriate answers.

Although the concept of trying to "break" the chatbot's logic rules is fascinating, be wary that asking it to do this can result in disturbing and offensive responses.

Awesome Prompts for ChatGPT

"Awesome ChatGPT Prompts" is the name of a now widely searched-for GitHub repository of crowdsourced ChatGPT prompts submitted by users. They're designed to get ChatGPT to "Act" in a certain way, for various kinds of scenarios. All in all, it just saves you a little bit of time you'd otherwise spend typing out your own prompt.

Highlights include prompts that can get ChatGPT to act as a Linux terminal, an English translator, a football commentator, and a stand-up comedian. All in all, there are over 100 prompts on the list - but you can use the titles as inspiration to create your own.

Using ChatGPT Responsibly

If you're using ChatGPT to assist you in work, then it's important that you're leveraging it responsibly. For employees and businesses alike, it's important to use AI ethically.

If you're an employee, ensure you're being transparent when you're using tools like ChatGPT with your manager and company. If you're a manager or business owner, maintain an open dialogue with staff about the different ways your business can use ChatGPT.

Most importantly, workplace guidelines on using AI should be created, so everyone is on the same page. Most business leaders don't think employees should be using ChatGPT without their employer's permission, so it's good to iron out exactly when they should and shouldn't be using it.

This will allow employees to think creatively about the different ways they can use AI tools but in a safe and controlled way.

Artificial intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds. It's no longer science fiction anymore!

Lots of AI tools can serve as our own personal assistants -- answering questions, helping us write text, create images, speak more effectively, and more.

Time has always been a barrier in the classroom. Most teachers would agree that they would be able to do more -- including the things that are most important -- if they had more time.

Teachers can find AI tools that are ready to help them out right now. Lots of them are free or have "freemium" plans with limited free options.

Below is a description of AI and how you can start using it to support your work in class.

What is artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or machine to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and more. There are several different approaches to building AI systems, including machine learning, where a system is trained on a dataset and can improve its performance over time, and rule-based systems, where the system follows a set of predetermined rules to make decisions.

AI can be applied to a wide range of areas, including natural language processing, image and video recognition, robotics, and more. The goal of AI research is to create systems that can perform tasks at least as well as, or ideally better than, humans. AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries and transform the way we live and work, but it also raises important ethical and social questions.

I do really hope you enjoyed the past three posts involving differentiated instructional tools for reading and writing using technology. In the last post of the series I focused on DI and the writing process. In this post, I wish to extend DI and writing in the area of student engagement. Before taking note of some of the tools and resources, lets take a moment to define what leads to student engagement in writing. While many of us would like to think that all of our students would be excited about writing the proverbial research or term paper... I ask you to think back to your own schooling. While we were learning the rules of grammar, citing sources, and turning research in to our own prose, many times we failed to both engage with and internalize the learning. I am a strong believer that it is only when we promote meta-cognition, that real learning happens. It is our students' thoughts and ideas that must somehow make its way to the written word. I believe that scaffolding, chunking, and student engagement is an answer. I would like to emphasize student engagement in the DI process, although you will find that scaffolding and chunking are many times built right in to the resources I suggest. After-all, multiple lessons and activities are often the steps to the larger process.

We must remember that all students come to school with the innate interest to both learn and to share. Watch students in the primary grades during a "show and tell" session. It is usually filled with energy and passion. It really is exciting to communicate with others, when we have a sense of ownership. I believe that part of differentiation in writing is allowing students to share their interest, and also find the way they wish to share it. This can be done with a multitude of tools, that sooner or later lead to a formal publication. In this student ownership and choice, a new life filled with excitement for the subject and process are possible. Add to this, an authentic audience to publish for. Remember, "show and tell" does not happen in a void. Perhaps students determine the audience they wish to address, bringing about even deeper thought of how to deliver to that specific group. The idea of differentiated instruction actually transforms into that important student choice, honoring both interest, passion, and strength.

Before taking a look at the list of resource possibilities below, please note that the curriculum is still important. Students must still know how to cite a source, write with proper mechanics, and research for information. Through their choice of possibilities these areas become even more important. This ownership also allows for increased mental cognition... and we all know what that means. Enjoy the possibilities below, some might help with that final project, while others help you deal with different learning modalities as you scaffold the process. Discover even more DI tools for reading and writing in these past posts.

I hope you enjoyed this list of possibilities.Please keep in mind that many of these resources and tools are interactive websites. It is important to check your district Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and Terms and Privacy Policy of each website used. Make sure your students are practicing proper digital citizenship and responsibility when interacting and publishing on the web. Get parent permission and district authorization if needed. Enjoy the DI journey as your student engage in the writing process!

Cool Tech Tools for Differentiated Instruction

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
EducationWorld is pleased to present this article contributed by Janis Beem, a freelance writer and OnlineColleges.com contributor based in Austin, TX.

As a classroom strategy, differentiated instruction aims for inclusion. If educators present a topic in a way that appeals to different learning styles and then tailor assessment methods to individual strengths, more students can benefit from every lesson. Advanced students find ways to challenge themselves, while struggling students receive support and feel that they are part of the group.

It's a simple con cept, but applying it in the classroom can be tricky. That's where technology can help. The following five tools can help teachers incorporate differentiation into any lesson plan.

Inspired by Thomas Clarkson, the anti-slavery campaigner who carried his written arguments in a portable box, Museum Box serves as both organizational site and visual teaching tool. Students in grades 3 and up can add materials on any topic to their boxes. They can make videos, record sound and add text and images from the Web or a local machine. It's a smart way not only to determine student content preferences, but also to gauge the complexity level each student brings to a project.

Cost: Schools can purchase site access for classroom use.

Touted as the only periodic table app endorsed by Stephen Fry, The Elements offers students a visual, interactive component to the science-class standard. The app draws on the powerful computational knowledge engine Wolfram|Alpha. Chemistry students in grades 6 and up can interact visually with elements of the periodic table, and advanced students can go deeper to discover fascinating facts and even a history lesson that corresponds to each element.

Cost: $13.99. The app is optimized for iPad.

Apple's answer to the recording studio is a boon for auditory learners. With GarageBand, students can explore keyboards, drum kits, smart guitars and dozens of other musical instruments. In the classroom, the application goes beyond fun with music: Students can record a podcast to contribute to class discussion on any topic, or compose a musical interpretation for a lesson plan. English teachers, prepare to hear stunning student-created compositions interpreting Grendel emerging from the mead-hall in Beowulf.

Cost: $4.99. The application is available for Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

This app, designed with Montessori math techniques in mind, is perfect for Pre-K students with different levels of math skills. Students can order elements from longest to shortest, trace numbers to learn their shape, work with odd and even numbers to determine their sequence, and more. In a crucial age for basic learning, the application helps students who need basic reinforcement with math concepts, catching them up before instruction continues in kindergarten and beyond. The group Autism Speaks also recommends the app for learners with autism.

Cost: $4.99. Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

This dictation app transcribes and allows students to save the text, send it, or even post it to social media. ELL and special needs students of all ages can benefit from the fact that they can easily see their text immediately after speaking. The app supports a number of languages, making it a powerful and variable tool for foreign language instruction. Verbal learners can talk through their ideas for papers or projects and easily save them to text, while students collaborating on a blog post can easily add their verbal contributions.

Cost: Free. Students can also use Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC.
