YouMind is an AI creation studio that streamlines the research and writing process into one continuous workflow. The site's features allow users to organize scattered resources, from YouTube videos and podcasts to PDFs and web articles, into a single project board. The free version provides monthly credits to save up to 100 materials, generate AI-driven summaries, and use an AI writer to turn your research into editable drafts. YouMind includes a prompt library, which allows users to choose specific images or reuse parameterized prompts to maintain a consistent style across different pieces of content. Every AI-generated report opens as a fully editable document, ensuring that you can refine the output and add your own unique voice to the final product.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (342), note taking (36), Research (91)
In the Classroom
Use this tool in a secondary journalism or social studies class to help students manage complex research projects on current events. Students can start by building a board that collects diverse perspectives from news articles and video interviews, using AI summaries to identify key arguments quickly. To help students organize their initial thoughts before drafting, they can use MindMup, reviewed here, to create a digital map of the different viewpoints they've discovered. After organizing their research, students can use the AI writer to generate a preliminary draft, focusing on integrating their analysis with the facts they gathered. After refining their draft, students can enhance their final presentation by creating a visual companion with Gamma, reviewed here, to turn their written findings into an interactive slide deck or webpage.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

The Cornell Note interface offers educators and students a streamlined, browser-based platform for creating Cornell-style notes. The tool features separated sections named Cues, Notes, and Summary, allowing users to organize their thoughts in the classic Cornell format. Users can easily structure notes by typing key ideas, inserting visuals, titles, and summaries, while leveraging essential features such as creating, saving, opening, renaming, printing, and editing functions (including undo/redo and copy/paste). This tool does not require sign-up; it is entirely free, and its straightforward interface lets students focus on learning rather than the tool itself.
tag(s): Accessibility (12), note taking (36), organizational skills (91)
In the Classroom
Have students use the Cornell Notes format while listening to a short lecture, story, or read-aloud. They record key points in the Notes section, list vocabulary or guiding questions in the Cues column, and write a one-paragraph Summary at the end. Assign an educational video or podcast. Students take Cornell Notes while watching/listening, then compare their Cues and Summaries in small groups, which encourages active listening and discussion. At the end of class, have students complete only the Summary section of their Cornell Notes as a quick "exit ticket." Teachers can review these to check comprehension and adjust future lessons.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

yEd Live offers tools to create diagrams from scratch or using ChatGPT AI capabilities. Open the sample diagram to view the different types of diagrams, or enter a prompt to generate a diagram. Use yEd's editing tools to change colors, add or remove information, or make additional adjustments to a diagram. You can also use the AI-prompt feature to edit the diagram. When complete, share your diagram by URL, print it, or download it to your device.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (342), charts and graphs (183), drawing (58), graphic organizers (57), mind map (31)
In the Classroom
After introducing the AI prompt feature, have students create diagrams "on the fly" to organize information. They can design a mind map that outlines features of states or countries, then work in groups to research and present each feature. Students could also hold a brainstorming session using an interactive whiteboard or projector to build a shared organizer for a topic or story. Assign students to "map" out a chapter, short story, or historical event, visually showing key ideas and connections. Turn mapping into a creative challenge: students could color-code concepts to show what they understand, wonder about, and want to investigate further. Use this tool for literature activities, science processes, or social studies projects. Students can even create family trees, food pyramids, or life cycle charts, depending on the subject. Encourage students to collaborate online, building group mind maps or review charts before a test. For a fun extension, have groups map out a plotline for a story they invent or outline step-by-step processes like "how to solve an equation" or "how a law gets passed." Finally, challenge students to plan a future career or personal goal using a timeline or flowchart they design themselves.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

After viewing the list, use drag and drop features to change the order of steps in the list if desired, or choose the blue wand next to any item on the list to create additional steps. Other options in a dropbox next to each step of the directions include determining the approximate time to complete that step, editing the information, or deleting the step. Click the checkbox in each step as it is completed for a visual look at the progress in completing the task.

Then, ask for weekly screenshots that show each student's progress in completing the project and ask them to use the checkboxes to mark completed items. If students fall behind, have short conferences to determine what is holding them back and provide support as needed. This tool is also helpful for students with special needs or attention disorders to use as a guide for completing required tasks.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Share Circlyapp on your whiteboard or screen when remote teaching as a visual tool for organizing and discussing any topic. For example, use the character map template as a starting point for discussions of actions and character traits of essential characters in any story or to analyze noteworthy people in history. Have older students complete character maps on their own as an assessment activity. Share with students who are working on group projects as an organizational tool for managing different project components. Ask students to include a completed Circlyapp image as part of a larger project or book report. Use and finish the book review template as a starting point for a book review project, then include the image with other parts of the assignment within a Sway presentation, reviewed here. Take advantage of the included opposite adjectives game template to create drag and drop matching activities for any topic. For example, create a sorting game for types of animals, geographic features, historical events by date, or pairing types of speech to different categories.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

IdeaBoardz is an easy-to-use a collaborative whiteboard created for brainstorming and sharing ideas. Instead of starting with a blank board and adding information, IdeaBoardz provides several options for creating boards from templates. Choose to create a board, add a name and description to begin. Use the dropdown box to select the type of board from choices such as pro and con or creating from up to ten sections. Next, share your board using the URL provided. Finally, participants select the plus sign located next to a heading to add a sticky note and type comments. Registration is not required; however, creating an account allows participants to revisit saved boards.

In the Classroom
Use IdeaBoardz as an engaging way to brainstorm ideas, share student comments related to any classroom conversations, or as a tool for exit tickets. For example, use the two-column option as a schema activator when introducing a new lesson. Create a column for students to share what they know and another column for sharing what additional support is needed. Include a link to your collaborative board on your class webpage for students to view and add items as desired. Share with students to create boards for use with their presentations. Use the multi-columns to organize information by topics. For example, for book reports, create a board with columns for setting, character, theme, etc.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
