Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is a secure, AI-powered tool available to Microsoft 365 subscribers, supporting functions like drafting content, summarizing information, brainstorming, analyzing files, and generating visuals.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (233), digital literacy (28), editing (84), summarizing (25)
In the Classroom
After collecting survey data or conducting a class experiment, students can use Excel and Copilot to summarize findings and generate graphs, demonstrating how AI supports effective data analysis and visualization. Following this, have students draft a paragraph, story, or essay and then work with Copilot to review grammar, tone, or structure, which promotes self-editing and reflective writing while reinforcing digital literacy. To further integrate Copilot, assign students a topic (e.g., climate change, a historical figure, or a math concept) and let them use the tool to create a summary. Then, have them evaluate the AI response, verify the information, and present their findings with their own enhancements.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Meshy AI offers a free, easy-to-use platform that empowers educators and students to create 3D models swiftly and efficiently. Members can generate detailed 3D models in less than three minutes by simply inputting text descriptions or uploading images. The free plan provides 200 credits monthly, allowing for the creation of models without needing a credit card. These models can be exported in various formats, including Wavefront Object (OBJ), Filmbox (FBX), and Stereolithography (STL), making them suitable for integration into educational projects, 3D printing, or virtual reality applications. Meshy AI's intuitive interface and rapid processing make it an excellent tool for enhancing creativity and learning in the classroom.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (233), design (70)
In the Classroom
Have students choose a vocabulary word and use Meshy to create a 3D model that represents it. For example, for the word "volcano," they can generate a 3D model of a volcano from a text prompt. Then, they can present their model and explain how it connects to the word's meaning. After reading a story, have students describe a character in detail and use Meshy to turn that description into a 3D model. In social studies or ELA, students can research an artifact from a historical period (ex., a medieval crown or ancient vase) and then generate a 3D model from a text or image prompt. Students can brainstorm and design an invention, describing it in detail via text. They then can use Meshy to model their invention and present it in a "Shark Tank"-style pitch, explaining how it works and its usefulness.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Engage students by using the templates to display the day's vocabulary word, the math puzzle of the week, or a concept your students are learning in social studies or science, for example. Have students create comic strips for dialog-writing lessons, summarizing, predicting, and retelling stories. Use comic strips for literature responses. For pre-reading students, create a comic of pictures and tell the story based on the pictures/scenes. It's a good idea to require students to create a rough draft of their comic using Printable Comic Strip Templates, reviewed here. Make a class book of the comics created throughout the year. That book is likely to become a class favorite! Use comics to show the sequencing of events. For example, when studying characterization, they create a dialog to show (not tell) about a character. World language and ENL/ESL teachers can assign students to create dialog strips as an alternative to a formal assessment. Have students share all of their comics on your interactive whiteboard or projector.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Engage students by using the templates to display the day's vocabulary word, the math puzzle of the week, a concept your students are learning in social studies or science as an example. Have students create comic strips for dialog-writing lessons, summarizing, predicting, and retelling stories. Use comic strips for literature responses. For pre-reading students, create a comic of pictures and tell the story based on the pictures/scenes. It's a good idea to require students to create a rough draft of their comic using Printable Comic Strip Templates, reviewed here. Make a class book of the comics created throughout the year. That book is likely to become a class favorite! Use comics to show sequencing of events. When studying characterization, create a dialog to show (not tell) about a character. World language and ENL/ESL teachers can assign students to create dialog strips as an alternate to a traditional assessment. Have students share all of their comics on your interactive whiteboard or projector.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Previous experience with layer-based design software editing such as Photoshop is extremely beneficial. The Photopea Learn page provides helpful tutorials, but individuals without previous training may need additional support.Challenge students to learn about the different options and features included with Photopea, then create and share video tutorials for their peers using a screen recording tool like Free Screen Recorder Online, reviewed here. As your students become familiar with the different features, have students include their edited images in any multimedia projects. Include images when using Adobe Creative Cloud Express for Education, reviewed here, when creating videos, flyers, or websites. Include images with storytelling projects created with Sway, reviewed here.
