Padlet AI Image Creation Tool

 Padlet has recently announced their version of an AI tool allowing you to create AI images. Padlet is a freemium (free and paid subscription). The free version allows you to only have 3 padlets BUT you can reuse them to continue to use the free AI image creation tool. 

To use this new feature, create a Padlet. Click on the plus sign in the lower right corner. When a box opens, give it a title. Next, click on the three horizontal dots to open up the menu. Select “I Can’t Draw” to have the AI tool “draw” for you. Type in a description of what you want. Next, hit publish to save the image onto your Padlet. To use your image in another app, you can double-click on the picture. On the top right-hand corner, select the three dots which will open up a menu. Select download and your image will then appear in your download folder for you to use.

I tried it out by typing in a description for a 6th grade math student in clipart form. This is the image it gave me to use. I found this to be very easy to use and it was fast. The images it creates is different than the images Canva AI creates too so you might want to give it a try. An added bonus is your images will stay in your Padlet until you need them.

Using AI to find resources

  Earlier this past week, I was asked by Mr. Morris to find resources for his class over Ancient Africa. The first place I started was not with a Google search. Instead, I turned to ChatGPT . My first query was pretty straightforward. I simply stated I wanted 6th grade resources for Ancient Africa. It did provide some links to a few websites but it was pretty underwhelming. I tried a few more queries before I decided to try the search with Perplexity AI . Not only did Perplexity show six different websites to use but it broke it down better than ChatGPT. In fact, it recommended a new search query under Related that showed some activities I could use as well. Finally, I tried the Bard AI (I had to use my personal G account to access Bard). I found the results on Bard to be pretty much the same as on ChatGPT. Just goes to show why I like Perplexity AI so much! For more information on AI tools teachers need to be aware of, take a look at Matt Miller’s article titled 30 AI tools for t...

QuestionWell AI

  I first learned about QuestionWell from a blog post by Richard Byrne. You can locate that post here .  What is it? QuestionWell is an AI tool developed to help teachers create reading comprehension and guided questions over a topic, a large chunk of text or an online article. The questions can then be saved to a Word document or saved to one of the popular quiz apps such as Kahoot or Blooket.  Educational Uses? I found this AI tool to be incredibly easy and useful. The prompt I used was simply to ask it to generate questions about emerging technology for 9th grade students. I did not enter any text or even a link to an article found online. With only the bare minimum, it was still able to generate 6 essential questions and 19 general questions. I love the ability to filter the questions by learning objectives. I appreciated the ability to easily select all of the questions or only the select few I needed. I then tried the same AI tool using a link to a news article...
