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 (218), design (72)
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

The Snowflake Drawing Tool from the Canadian Museum of Nature is an interactive online activity that allows students to design and explore snowflake patterns while learning about symmetry and crystal formation. Click on the image and drag your mouse to create a snowflake, then choose "finish" to view your snowflake falling from the sky! Continue to the next page to find sharing and download options. This tool helps students understand how real snowflakes develop their six-sided structures based on molecular patterns in nature. It's an excellent resource for integrating art, math, and science, as students can create unique digital snowflakes while exploring concepts like geometry, fractals, and crystallization. Perfect for STEM and winter-themed lessons, this tool engages students in both creative design and scientific exploration.

Have students design snowflakes and identify their lines of symmetry and then compare different snowflake designs and discuss what makes them symmetrical. Have students design a unique snowflake and write a poem or short story about it using personification, similes, and metaphors to describe their snowflake's journey from the sky to the ground. Compile a class snowflake book using ePubEditor, reviewed here with their designs and writing. Measure the angles in their snowflake designs and discuss how geometry plays a role in nature and/or explore fractions by estimating how much of the original shape is cut away.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Have students compare their digital snowflakes to traditional paper-cut versions. Challenge students to estimate what fraction of the paper is cut away. Have them measure and record the angles of their cuts. Students can design a unique snowflake and then write a short poem or descriptive paragraph about it, incorporating figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and personification. Create a class book using Book Creator, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Paper Snowflake Generator is an interactive online tool that allows students to create virtual paper snowflakes by cutting out shapes and patterns, just like traditional paper snowflake crafts. This tool is ideal for art, geometry, and symmetry lessons, as it allows students to explore rotational symmetry, patterns, and design concepts in a fun and hands-on way. It's ideal for classrooms with limited supplies or those incorporating digital learning activities. To "cut" the paper away, draw polygons (closed shapes) representing scissor cuts over the triangle on the drawing board to the right. Draw a polygon by clicking on the board to create vertices, and close the polygon by clicking on the first vertex. Teachers can integrate it into math lessons on fractions, symmetry, and transformations, or use it as a creative winter-themed activity. Encourage figurative language (similes, metaphors, personification) to describe their snowflake. Assign a math investigation where students explore fractions and angles in their snowflake designs.
tag(s): fractions (152), geometric shapes (126), snow (22), symmetry (29)
In the Classroom
Have students create digital snowflakes and analyze their lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. Ask students to count the number of folds and cuts, then predict the final shape before revealing it. After designing snowflakes, students can write a poem inspired by their creation. Students can present their findings in a short math reflection and could create a class collection in Google Slides reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

WXXI's "Take A Family Break" offers short videos and activities designed to help children and adults de-stress through simple exercises, such as stretching, breathing techniques, and interactive games. At school, teachers can utilize these quick breaks to enhance focus and foster a calming classroom environment. At home, families can incorporate them into daily routines to bond and manage stress together. Each video includes additional resources, such as articles and related activities, to further support emotional well-being.
tag(s): social and emotional learning (126), stress (5)
In the Classroom
Use the short videos as quick movement or mindfulness breaks between lessons to help students refocus and improve concentration. Activities such as belly breathing or freeze dance can help energize or calm students as needed. Pair activities with subjects like science (learning about the body and breathing), ELA (storytelling exercises), or math (counting games). This helps reinforce learning in a fun, interactive way. Turn the activities into a class-wide challenge by tracking the number of different exercises students try each week. Encourage students to share their favorite techniques and create their own variations.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

ZipCaptions is a tool that generates accurate captions and subtitles for videos, making multimedia content more accessible for students. Teachers can use ZipCaptions to enhance comprehension, support multilingual learners, and provide accessibility for students with hearing impairments. The tool can also aid in literacy development by allowing students to follow along with spoken content. Teachers can use this tool to caption instructional videos, student presentations, or even storytelling projects. This resource is especially useful for flipped classrooms, video-based assignments, or enhancing engagement with digital content.
tag(s): Accessibility (8), hearing impaired (8)
In the Classroom
Have students watch an educational video with ZipCaptions enabled and take notes on key points, unfamiliar vocabulary, and main ideas. In pairs, they can discuss how captions helped them better understand the content. Students can create a short educational video using Adobe Express Video Maker, reviewed here on a topic such as explaining a concept in science, history, or literature. Have the teacher play a video with ZipCaptions, and students can complete a scavenger hunt worksheet looking for items such as a word with a prefix or suffix, identifying a simile or metaphor, or listing three key facts.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
