This tool is less for the students and more for the instructor. An instructor can use it to create or differentiate a lesson for students. Those interested in new ways to approach content or struggle with organization and planning. Tools like this save time for instructors, which benefits students by having better organized lessons, more time for the instructor to interact with the class. The instructor is likely to be less stressed which defiantly improves interactions and atmosphere in the classroom.

Again, This tool is less for the students and more for the instructor. Instructor can upload or have students submit assignments. The instructor provides a key, guidelines, grading procedureres, and rubric. The AI will then do it's best to grade and provide feedback. This is a massive way for teachers to save time, have consistent grading and feedback. There are limitations, but for simple assignments this is a game changer. Grace and double checking should definitely happen as this tool is improving but still makes mistakes.

Mentimeter

Variety tool used for student engagement. Integrates with a lesson to collect data and allow interaction by students. Engages students with the lesson, checks for understanding and allows interactions between students. Uses a variety of tools to go side by side in a lesson. Apart from the free version having some limitations I did not see any issues. This appears to be a solid tool so long as you are willing to pay for the subscription fee. The free version works but is restricted. The platform itself does well with data and safety laws.

Mentimetric has organizational tools for teachers, lesson planning and other integrations. The big take away if student engagement. It allows students to interact with the lesson in real time in a variety of ways. From brainstorming and student to student communication but also questions and polls for students. It does a good job collecting data. The only real downside is that the free version is highly restricted, its almost a requirement to pay the fee.
