Also included are lessons for K-12 classrooms that use Teaching Machines as part of lessons in AI and ethics and Dancing with AI. Start your project by choosing the type of project to create, then follow the steps to add samples to use in training your model. Complete and save your project, then share it with a link or other options available through Teachable Machine.

Using AI generators helps save time and increase productivity; Poe saves even more time by making it easy to compare output from several AI generators in one place. Use this resource to create quizzes, rubrics, lesson plans, and more. Many of the included resources offer the option to add files and increase productivity further by attaching a worksheet and asking it to modify the content to differentiate learning or to suggest ideas for presenting the content in a different format. Be sure to ask for information as precisely as possible by including grade-level information, the subject you teach, content standards and teaching objectives, and options for differentiating instruction. Math teachers can ask chatbots to explain the content differently or ask for ideas on applying math topics to everyday life. In social studies or science, ask to generate a vocabulary list or create a story based on your lessons incorporating essential vocabulary terms. ELA teachers might use these tools to get suggestions for interventions to support struggling readers or to find additional resources to support current lessons. Use the image generators to produce images for creative writing activities, to develop descriptive writing skills, or to include in multimedia presentations. Always verify any information provided by any AI tool before using it. These tools constantly evolve, and many features regularly change (or upgrade).Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

ClassQuestion is an easy-to-use tool for getting feedback. Send questions and receive instant feedback with a plot of the results. Create a free account, then use the menu to locate how to create a new class. After making a class, follow the prompts to create a question by adding the number of answers and identifying the correct answer; choose none if conducting a poll or if only recording student participation. Save your question, then share it from your classroom folders. To respond, students create an account and access questions on their own devices using your classroom code. Your results are available in the Question Data section of the account dashboard.
tag(s): assessment (148), data (147), Formative Assessment (73), polls and surveys (48), questioning (35), quizzes (90)
In the Classroom
Use ClassQuestion to receive instant feedback for many different classroom purposes. For example, use this tool to create exit tickets to help determine students' understanding of content and guide further lessons. Use this tool as a debate and discussion starter by asking students to take a stance on a topic, then divide students into groups to develop their position further. Gamify learning by turning review sessions into opportunities for students or groups to earn points for correct responses. Input data collections from students to quickly create graphs; for example, create a poll of students' favorite foods and share the results with students.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Have fun in your classroom with virtual dice on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Use dice with young students just learning to count. Have students guess what number will "win." Use as an incentive and allow a student to roll the dice to meet a class goal. Set a goal of a large number, and every time a small goal is achieved, roll the dice and keep adding. Keep track until the class achieves the sum given. Practice basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts. Have team competitions and choose winners by even/odd, the greatest/least sum, greatest/least product, or quotient. Allow students to work in small groups to play the mathematical practice games. For larger digits, roll two dice simultaneously and get the greater number. Do the same to get double or triple-digit numbers. Encourage your students to practice at home and play against their parents. In older grades, study probability and chance. Use the data and create line plots or graphs in various forms using Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. Be sure to incorporate mean, median, and mode.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
