OpusClip is an AI video-editing tool that turns longer videos into shorter clips for sharing or presenting. It can identify key moments, reframe videos for different screen sizes, add captions, and create short video clips from recorded lessons, student presentations, interviews, or school events. Teachers might use it to create brief review videos, highlight important parts of a guest speaker recording, or help students edit video projects into concise summaries. OpusClip offers a free-forever plan with 60 credits per month, including AI clipping, auto reframing, and AI captions. Free-plan exports include a watermark, cannot be edited after export, and are available for 3 days; new users also receive a 7-day Pro trial.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (348), digital storytelling (181), editing (96)

In the Classroom

Have students record a two- to three-minute book talk that introduces a book, describes its characters or topic, and recommends without revealing the ending. They can use OpusClip to create a short, captioned trailer that can be shared privately with classmates or displayed during independent-reading time. Have small groups record a science investigation or model, such as one that shows erosion, a chemical change, or a simple machine in action. They can use OpusClip to create a short highlight video, then add captions that identify the materials, steps, observations, and conclusion. Have students conduct a longer interview with a classmate, staff member, family member, or community guest connected to a unit of study.

Wordtune is an AI writing assistant that helps users revise and refine text through tools for rewriting, paraphrasing, grammar checking, summarizing, and adjusting tone or length. Teachers can use it to model how writers make purposeful revision choices, such as making a sentence clearer, more concise, more formal, or more detailed. It may be especially useful during writing workshops, vocabulary practice, and research projects when students compare suggestions with their own drafts and explain which revisions best preserve their intended meaning and voice. Students should use Wordtune as a revision tool rather than a replacement for their own ideas, and teachers should review district AI use and privacy guidelines before classroom use. Free plans include daily and monthly use limits.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (348), grammar (143), summarizing (30), writing (309)

In the Classroom

Have students write a sentence from a draft, then use Wordtune to generate a few revision options. They can sort the suggestions into categories such as clearer, more detailed, more formal, or does not preserve my meaning, and explain which version they would choose and why. Have students revise an overly wordy paragraph from a teacher-created example. After making their own edits, they can use Wordtune's shortening or rewriting tools as a comparison, then identify which details should remain because they are essential to the main idea. During a writing unit, have students select two or three repetitive sentences from a draft. They can use Wordtune suggestions to explore stronger vocabulary or varied sentence structures, then revise only the parts where the changes improve clarity while preserving their voice.

QuillBot is an AI-powered writing support platform that can help students and teachers strengthen drafting, revising, and research skills. Its tools include a paraphraser, grammar checker, summarizer, translator, citation generator, and other writing and editing features that can support clearer word choice, sentence fluency, and proofreading. Teachers may find it useful for modeling revision choices, helping students compare alternate phrasings, or condensing informational text for study; however, students should be taught to use it as a support for their own thinking and writing rather than as a substitute for original work. Review school AI use policies and preview features before classroom use, as some tools and usage limits may require an account or a paid plan.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (348), citations (32), editing (96), grammar (143), proofreading (18), summarizing (30), writing (309)

In the Classroom

Give students a short teacher-written paragraph with repetitive wording or unclear sentences. In pairs, have students revise it first on their own, then use the paraphraser to compare possible revisions. During a writing workshop, have students use the grammar checker to identify possible errors in a selected section of their draft.

Gradescope is an online assessment and grading platform that helps educators manage and evaluate paper-based, digital, and online assignments more efficiently. Teachers can create flexible rubrics, grade one question at a time across an entire class, annotate student work, provide targeted feedback, and view assignment-level statistics to identify learning trends. The platform supports instructor-uploaded and student-uploaded PDF assignments, online questions, bubble sheets, and programming assignments; some question types can also be automatically graded. Gradescope allows multiple instructors, teaching assistants, or graders to work on the same assignment using shared rubrics, helping support consistent and efficient grading. Students can review published scores and feedback, submit regrade requests when enabled, and use the mobile app to scan and upload work. A free account is available, while some advanced tools, including AI-assisted answer grouping, require an institutional license.
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (348), assessment (140), feedback (17), rubrics (40), Teacher Utilities (223)

In the Classroom

Use Gradescope to collect and grade short-answer responses, constructed responses, essays, lab explanations, or problem-solving work. Create a question-by-question rubric that applies consistently across student submissions, then add reusable comments or annotations to identify strengths and next steps. Students can view the published rubric and feedback to better understand how their work was evaluated. Create a short online assignment or upload a paper exit ticket after a lesson. Review results by question to identify skills that may need reteaching, such as citing evidence, solving multi-step problems, using vocabulary accurately, or explaining scientific thinking. Assignment statistics can help teachers spot class-wide trends and plan targeted small-group instruction. After students receive feedback on a writing assignment, math explanation, or project reflection, have them review the rubric and choose one or two areas to improve. Students can submit a revised version through a follow-up assignment and include a brief reflection explaining what they changed and why. This helps shift grading from a final score to part of the learning process.

tag(s): animation (71), artificial intelligence (348), presentations (48)

In the Classroom

Have students choose a new vocabulary word and create one slide with a definition, synonym, or antonym, a visual, and a sentence that shows the word in context. They can use an animated graphic or video background sparingly to help communicate the word's meaning. Small groups can create a short slide deck that explains a scientific process, such as the water cycle, photosynthesis, erosion, or a food chain. Students use visuals and animations to show the sequence of steps, then add captions that explain each stage in clear, accurate language. After reading a novel or short story, have students create a book trailer or character profile using presentation templates, graphics, and background media. They can include key setting details, character traits, conflict, theme, and a recommendation without giving away the ending.

MeiGen is a web-based AI image-creation and inspiration tool that simplifies browsing, reusing, and generating prompts for AI images. The platform offers a vast library of AI-generated images and prompts, allowing users to search and explore. By opening an image, users can view the full prompt and explore the information it contains.

A standout feature of MeiGen is its ability to instantly access an image's prompt by simply selecting it. Additionally, users can reuse the prompt as a starting point for generating their own variations. MeiGen also provides tools for prompt refinement and browsing by style or subject, making it easier to transition from inspiration to a usable prompt without having to write everything from scratch. Free accounts include daily generation credits; however, registration isn't required to open images in the gallery and view the prompt. Creating a free account enables users to save and access their favorite images and generate new ones.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (348), creativity (93), graphic design (55), images (273)

In the Classroom

Use MeiGen in your lessons on creating AI images effectively, and include images in presentations and reports. For example, find and save images of passports with built-in 3D dioramas, and share the prompts with students to use when creating images for reports on countries, or select images with four frames with different poses for students to use as a back-to-school activity to share their interests when getting to know new classmates. Have students create multimedia presentations that include images using Canva for Education.

EduGems is a free, teacher-friendly website created by Eric Curts that provides a growing collection of ready-to-use AI prompts, called "Gems," designed specifically for use with Google Gemini. These prebuilt prompts help educators quickly generate lesson plans, activities, assessments, and instructional materials without starting from scratch, saving time while supporting high-quality instruction. The site is organized into categories such as curriculum design, literacy, student activities, and professional tasks, and each Gem can be used as-is or copied and customized to fit specific classroom needs, making it a flexible and practical tool for integrating AI into everyday teaching.

In the Classroom

Use a Gem to quickly create a fun lesson hook, such as a mystery scenario, creative prompt, or thought-provoking question, to spark student interest at the start of a lesson. Generate differentiated writing prompts for students based on ability levels or interests to help all learners engage with the content. Generate a menu of activity options for a unit and let students choose how they demonstrate their understanding, increasing ownership and engagement. Learn more about how to create and use Gems by viewing the archive of OK2Ask: Google Gems Basics: Personalized, interactive, and safe AI learning experiences, available here.

Sorcer is an AI-powered instructional coach that transforms how students demonstrate their understanding of a topic through Socratic questioning. Setting up a "Sorcerer" begins by entering a unit topic and choosing one of five difficulty levels, ranging from middle school to PhD. Sorceror also allows uploading media, such as memes, charts, or maps, to serve as a starting point for discussions. As students interact with the bot, they receive a mastery score from 0 to 100 and detailed insights explaining how to improve their responses. Teachers can maintain oversight by viewing all chat transcripts and monitoring class-wide proficiency on the selected standards by creating a free teacher account on the Sorceror website and providing students with a link or join code for chats. Sorceror also works with Google Classroom.

In the Classroom

Create interactive unit reviews by using this tool to assess student knowledge before a major project or exam. For a middle school science unit on ecosystems, set up a chatbot focused on food webs and energy flow to provide students with a personalized study session. After students finish their session and review their mastery insights, they could take those key concepts and create a visual representation of their learning using the Canva Infographic Creator, reviewed here. To extend learning, have students use their AI-generated feedback to identify a specific real-world environmental issue and map out its impact using Google Earth, reviewed here. This workflow moves beyond rote memorization by encouraging students to process feedback and apply their growing expertise to creative and global contexts.

The Image Accessibility tool is a simple, web-based AI utility that helps educators and content creators generate accessible text descriptions and alt text for images, making visual content more accessible to students with visual impairments or who rely on screen readers. Users upload an image, and the tool uses a language model (GPT-4o) to produce concise, objective descriptions and longer image summaries to add to digital course materials, improving accessibility. This feature supports universal design for learning by helping ensure that images communicate meaning effectively to all students, regardless of how they access content.

tag(s): Accessibility (12), artificial intelligence (348)

In the Classroom

Introduce the tool during technology lessons to teach why accessibility matters and how inclusive design helps everyone, not just users with disabilities. Teachers can use the tool to generate alt text for images in Google Slides, Docs, or worksheets so all students, including those using screen readers, can fully access lesson content. Students can compare AI-generated image descriptions with their own written descriptions, revising for clarity, precision, and strong word choice.
