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:

Mia Search lets you search for visuals, including videos. I typed in “funny silent video to teach English Language Learners food vocabulary” and received nearly 300 results, some that were useful.

Lingo Champion seems to have a lot of decent AI-powered language learning tools, with a generous free account.  I’m adding it to The Best Multilingual & Bilingual Sites For Learning English & Other Languages.

Music Creator AI does what its name says.

Joy Coloring Pages is another AI-powered tool for creating…coloring pages.

Illustrative of the gap between the social sciences and the humanities: the letter writer assumes that the purpose of an essay is the production of writing rather than the formation of the student’s own abilities https://t.co/25g3DEbfPw

I think AI can be big help 2 ELLs, Sped tchrs tell me it’s very helpful,I like it 4 modifying materials & it makes creating games on Quizizz & Blooket a breeze. Just about every new AI announcement over past 12 months, including today,makes me pessimistic about its value in anything else in ed (1)

It seems that most teachers’ AI efforts apart from those uses is about reducing its harm to student learning.
