Microsoft Designer's Image Creator lets teachers and students generate custom visuals simply by typing a description of what they want to see. Using AI, it turns text prompts into high-quality images for classroom posters, project graphics, story illustrations, social media visuals, and more, all without advanced design skills. Just describe your idea in words, select Generate, and the tool produces original images you can download and incorporate into lessons or student work. It's a quick way to create engaging, personalized visuals right in your web browser.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (337), graphic design (52), images (272), infographics (73), Microsoft (50)

Have students generate an image based on a scene, setting, or character from a story they are reading or writing. Students can then explain how the image matches details from the text, strengthening comprehension and visualization skills. Students can create images to represent vocabulary words, figurative language, or academic concepts. Use Image Creator as a springboard for discussions about ethical AI use, originality, bias, and responsible sharing. Have students reflect on how AI-generated images differ from human-created artwork and when each is appropriate.

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. It keeps data private, aligns with existing security policies, and aids educators with lesson planning, feedback, collaboration, and compliance.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (337), digital literacy (37), editing (95), summarizing (28)

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.

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 (337), design (76)

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.

Visit the FAQ section to learn more about how to use and download GenType.

Use GenType to personalize and enhance multimedia projects, newsletters, or written documents. Share it with students to add interest to book reports and research projects.

After students create an alphabet, ask them to share it with a friend and see if they can recreate a similar alphabet without having the original prompt. Have students use their alphabets to add interest to websites created using Google Sites, reviewed here or Site123, reviewed here.

In the Classroom

Use Firefly to create images for a variety of classroom uses to engage students and extend learning. Use the text effects feature to create text to teach letters or words. An example would be making the word "apple" and filling it with apples to teach beginning letter sounds to students using imagery. Use the text-to-image feature to create images for students to use with creative writing projects or to visualize a scene in a story. Edit images using the Generative Fill option to remove unwanted items or add new items. Edit an image to demonstrate different art styles when teaching students about artists. Download your edited images for students to use when making ebooks with Book Creator, reviewed here or to use when publishing writing using a simple website creator such as Telegra.ph, reviewed here.

Figma is a collaborative, online design tool that allows members to create websites, applications, logos, and more. One beneficial resource included in Figma is Figjam, an online collaborative whiteboard. Figjam features include a built-in chat, auto-layout, and features that allow you to create visually appealing and interactive presentations. Create a free account and log in to your account to explore the Figma community to find inspiration that includes files, templates, plugins, and widgets. Use the filters to narrow down searches to include free items to make browsing more productive. Share Figma and Figjam creations with others using a link or embed code. The free plan includes three Figma and three Figjam files; however, educators can upgrade to the professional program for free. Professional plans include what is available under the free plan and unlimited Figjam files for free, team libraries, and audio libraries. FYI - In October of 2024 Google Jamboard will sunset (close down). The good news is Figjam will have a tool to convert Jamboards to Figjam.

In the Classroom

Use timelines for various classroom activities beyond just sequences of dates and times. For example, engage students in retelling stories by asking them to create timelines that share the series of events or locations found within a novel. Ask students to create a timeline of the growth of plants or step-by-step procedures of a lab experiment. Extend learning by including student-created timelines as part of multimedia presentations shared by creating websites using Carrd, reviewed here, or video presentations made with Adobe Express Video Maker, reviewed here.
