Padlet Magic, as the AI is called, lets you create from scratch using simple instructions in a structured format. From creating lesson plans and maps of historical events to reading lists and activities, it's all as easy as asking. You can use padlet for: Brainstorming
Use an open Padlet to let students add ideas and comments for a brainstorming session. This can span a week or a single lesson and helps encourage creativity.

Going live
Teaching in a hybrid way, use a live Padlet to let students post questions as the lesson progresses -- so you can address any at the moment or at the end.

Collate research
Create a hub for students to post research on a subject. This encourages everyone to check what's up and find something new by thinking differently.

Reflexion
Create exit tickets using Padlet, allowing for a debrief from the lesson -- from writing down something learned to adding a reflection, there are many options.

Woring with other teachers
Collaborate with other teachers in school and beyond to share resources, give opinions, place notes, and more.

To generate images or videos, using text descriptions alone, there is Magic Media, Dall-E by OpenAI, and Imagen by Google Cloud.

This setup also allows for editing and enhancing of images generated -something not commonly available without coding knowledge and certain tools.
