At least, for now, I’m going to make this a weekly feature which will highlight additions to THE BEST NEW – & FREE – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS THAT COULD BE USED IN THE CLASSROOM.
Here are the latest:
ChartMaker uses AI to create…charts out of your data. I’m adding it to The Best Tools To Make Simple Graphs Online
And, apart from NotebookLM, they appear to have failed at producing anything AI related that seems to be actually useful to anyone. For instance, according to our district staff, their AI tool to create questions from videos works one-sixth of the time

Veo3 Ai is a free text-to-video tool.
In my nightmares, this is what it looks like when students use AI to write and teachers use AI to assess the writing. This is not the future I want in the classroom youtu.be/EtNagNezo8w?…

Here are two new additions to A Beginning List Of Different Types Of Guidance Educators Are Giving Students About AI Use In Their Classes:
In Why I’m Saying No to Generative AI, she mentions what she initially did with AI – had each student write their own guidelines for how they should use AI after she did a fair amount of teaching on it. She doesn’t do that any longer, and doesn’t explain why, but I think that could be an interesting strategy.
The author of Making Research More Accessible With AI discusses how she allows her students to use up to thirty percent of AI in their writing.
The tool that does not hallucinate, NotebookLM, finally supports doc documents https://t.co/G5VSstTzuB
