The Forbes article "6 Questions Teachers Should Ask Before Implementing AI" by Peter Greene guides educators through thoughtful considerations before bringing AI tools into their classrooms. It emphasizes that educators should critically evaluate what an AI program actually does, understand their school or district's commitment (including long-term costs), and clarify the specific goals for using AI with teachers and students. The piece also highlights the importance of establishing safety and privacy guardrails, weighing the opportunity costs of time and resources, and deciding what aspects of student work teachers will actually assess when AI is involved. Greene's advice is grounded in caution and deliberation, encouraging teachers to balance enthusiasm for new technologies with clear educational intentions and responsible practice.

In the Classroom
Discuss this article during grade or content level meetings, or as part of staff meetings. Introduce the information to students by presenting brief classroom scenarios in which AI could be used (e.g., writing assistance, tutoring, grading). In small groups, have students discuss the proper use of AI using simplified versions of the article's six guiding questions. Have students design posters that explain how to use AI safely and responsibly, focusing on privacy, originality, and ethical use. Posters can be displayed in the classroom or shared during a technology lesson. Students can complete a writing or problem-solving task on their own, then compare it to an AI-generated version. They reflect on what humans do better, what AI does well, and when teacher feedback is most valuable.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Polypad is like a digital playground for K-12 mathematics, offering an extensive collection of interactive virtual manipulatives. This free platform allows students to explore abstract concepts through a highly visual, tactile interface that uses tiles for geometry, algebra, fractions, and data science. Users can drag and drop objects such as prime factor tiles, fraction bars, and 3D polyhedra that fold and unfold onto a blank canvas. The tool includes unique features such as a balance scale for solving equations, logic gates for introductory coding, and a "music and sonification" tool that turns geometric properties into audible tones. While students can experiment without an account, a free teacher account unlocks access to a large lesson library, the ability to author custom activities, the ability to toggle specific toolbars to focus student attention, and the ability to save or share canvases via unique links.

Transform a standard lesson on probability and data into an interactive experiment by having students use the built-in dice, coins, and spinners to collect real-time data sets. For a middle school math project, students can run simulations on the canvas to compare theoretical and experimental probability, then use the data science tools to generate and analyze frequency charts instantly. After identifying patterns in their results, students can summarize their findings by creating a collaborative digital board with Padlet, reviewed here, where they post screenshots of their most surprising outcomes. To further extend the learning, ask students to record a quick explanation of their probability fairness test using the Chrome Capture screen recorder, reviewed here, and share it with their peers for feedback.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Take advantage of this tool to broaden your classroom's global perspective by engaging in conversations with others around the world. Use this site in world language classrooms to have students copy their text to convert into the language being studied (or the reverse). Enhance student learning by having students create presentations on other countries in the nation's native language using a presentation tool like Canva for Education, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

HeyGen is an AI-powered video creation tool that generates videos from text, images, or audio clips. You can start with just a script (text), and it will create a talking video from that text without having to film yourself or record voice-overs manually. Choose avatars to become digital presenters who deliver your script. Pick from hundreds of stock video avatars or create a custom avatar that resembles you. HeyGen supports multiple languages and voices, which can be helpful if you teach multilingual classes or provide translations. After creating an account, use the dashboard to begin a project, and follow the prompts to add a script or instructions for the video. HeyGen provides a plan for the video; after approving it, wait for the video to become available. When ready, share the video using the public link, embed code, via social media links, or download to your device. Free accounts allow users to create up to 3 videos per month, each up to 3 minutes long, using standard video processing. In addition, free plans provide access to one custom video avatar and over five hundred stock video avatars.

In the Classroom
Use HeyGen to create explainer videos, lesson overviews, short tutorials, flipped-classroom clips, or informational videos, essentially anything that benefits from a "talking-through" format but where you might not want to appear on camera or record audio yourself. For example, create a tutorial on how to use a new software program or share some at-home learning strategies with parents on your class site. Use the embed code or link to add videos into flipped lessons using Sway reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

ResearchRabbit is an AI-powered literature discovery and mapping tool designed to help researchers, students, and academics explore scientific literature more intelligently than a typical paper search engine. Instead of just listing papers based on search keywords, ResearchRabbit helps you visualize how papers, authors, and topics are connected and also supports organizing your findings so users can build collections, save papers, and add notes. Begin by creating an account, providing a project name, and then start your search. ResearchRabbit provides "seed" articles to choose from; select those to include in your discovery. From the home screen, choose your project from the "browse library" drop-down to start viewing the visualization of the information in your chosen articles. Click on any article to view a summary and add a note, or select an article, and colored dots indicate articles you have saved. Free accounts include unlimited searches across 280+ million articles, search from up to 50 search inputs, basic search settings, and one project.

In the Classroom
Visit ResearchRabbit's YouTube channel for excellent tutorials that walk users through getting started and making the most of the platform's built-in features. Although ResearchRabbit is primarily valuable to educators as a professional development and research-support tool, it can also benefit advanced high school students conducting rigorous, inquiry-based research projects. Students can use the visual networks to identify influential authors, follow lines of inquiry, and map how ideas connect across disciplines. ResearchRabbit also works well alongside free tools such as Zotero, reviewed here, which allows students and teachers to save citations, organize sources, and generate bibliographies. After exploring and identifying relevant papers in ResearchRabbit, users can easily transfer citations into Zotero to support writing, note-taking, and final project creation. This combination gives learners a complete workflow, from discovering literature to managing and citing it professionally.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
