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. This feature empowers users to understand the underlying concepts and then reuse or modify prompts to generate new, unique outputs. 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 (335), creativity (89), graphic design (51), images (271)

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.

Overleaf is a browser-based writing tool for creating well-formatted documents such as journal articles, reports, and presentations. It is especially helpful for projects that include math, equations, or structured layouts, which are often needed in K-12 educational materials. It provides a live PDF preview as you type, which helps you quickly check formatting without extra steps, and it runs entirely online, so there is no software to install or manage across devices. The free plan includes unlimited projects, access to templates such as reports and handouts, real-time collaboration with one other editor, and unlimited viewers, which supports basic teamwork.

tag(s): collaboration (131), editing (95), presentations (41)

In the Classroom

Use Overleaf to support a range of K-12 classroom tasks where clear formatting, structure, and collaboration matter. Create and share assignment or note templates that students can open and edit as their own copies, helping standardize formatting and save setup time. Students can work individually or with one partner to draft reports, lab write-ups, or math-heavy documents, using the live preview to check their work as they go. Because everything runs in a browser, it works well alongside tools like Google Docs for drafting ideas first, then moving polished content into Overleaf for final formatting, or Google Sheets to track project links and submissions for simple organization.

NotebookLM, reviewed here is an amazing resource for curating information and creating study materials; however, making the most of its incredible features requires an understanding of how to create the proper prompt to create materials that work best for individual users. This is where NotebookLM Prompt Generator comes to the rescue. NotebookLM Prompt Generator lets users select features such as style preferences, content scope, and other tools to personalize and create a custom prompt for infographics and slide decks. When finished, copy your prompt to your clipboard and paste it into the NotebookLM Studio design prompt of your choosing.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (335), infographics (73), presentations (41), slides (38)

In the Classroom

Use this resource to improve the materials you create with NotebookLM. For student use, share this generator to help students understand the importance of prompt engineering when using AI tools to generate content that matches their desired output. Have students take a screenshot of the completed page, then add that image to a document that includes the generated image or slide deck, and analyze the output. Have students compare and contrast their completed images or slide decks to deepen their understanding of how NotebookLM uses prompts to create different appearances in their work. Because each student's prompt choices will differ, the resulting outputs will vary even when starting from the same source material. This comparison highlights how small changes in phrasing, detail, or intent can significantly shape what AI generates, making prompt engineering feel concrete and consequential rather than abstract.

This article from We Are Teachers offers a collection of creative alternatives to the traditional think-pair-share strategy, providing teachers with engaging ways to increase student participation and deepen classroom discussions. It explains that while think-pair-share is effective, structured variations such as movement-based activities, collaborative brainstorming, and role-based discussions can help keep students focused, energized, and actively involved in learning. The site emphasizes that these strategies promote stronger communication skills, encourage all students to contribute, and support deeper understanding by exposing learners to multiple perspectives and repeated opportunities to refine their thinking.

In the Classroom

Have groups create a final answer or slide show using Aha Slides, reviewed here that combines everyone's ideas. They must justify their thinking using evidence, pushing students toward deeper reasoning and synthesis. Assign roles such as explainer and questioner. Have one student explain their thinking while the other asks probing questions to deepen understanding, then they switch roles. After pairing, the two pairs join together to form a group of four and compare ideas. This collaborative discussion helps students refine their thinking by hearing multiple perspectives.

This article from Kapable provides a comprehensive collection of 50 practical activities designed to help develop and strengthen critical thinking skills through hands-on practice and collaboration. It explains that critical thinking involves analyzing information, questioning assumptions, and considering multiple perspectives to make well-reasoned decisions. It emphasizes that activities such as debates, role-playing, puzzles, and problem-solving scenarios help learners build these skills in meaningful ways. The site highlights how these activities promote creativity, improve decision-making, and encourage adaptability by exposing learners to real-world challenges and diverse viewpoints, making it a useful resource for teachers looking to incorporate structured, interactive strategies to build students' analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

In the Classroom

Set up stations with different types of challenges (logic puzzles, real-world scenarios, ethical dilemmas). Have students rotate through stations, collaborate, and explain their thinking process at each station. Have students identify a real-world problem (at the school, community, or global level) and create a solution plan. They must research, evaluate options, and present their reasoning using CER (claim, evidence, reasoning). Give students a topic connected to your ELA or social studies unit. In small groups, students can take different perspectives and support their claims with evidence.

Toby is a browser-based tab and workspace organizer that helps you keep frequently used websites, resources, and projects neatly organized in customizable collections. Instead of leaving dozens of tabs open, you can save them with a single click, organize them into folders, and quickly reopen an entire collection whenever you need it. Toby also supports shared workspaces, making it easy for teachers, students, or colleagues to collaborate by organizing and sharing groups of websites for lessons, research projects, or team planning. Toby is available as a browser extension for Chromium-based browsers, and its free plan includes unlimited collections, shared workspaces, and core organization features for managing everyday browsing tasks.

In the Classroom

Organize your documents and links using Toby. Create collections for different subject areas (math, science, social studies, and more). Collaborate as a group within collections with others having access to add resources.
