STORM assists users in creating wiki-style articles for academic and research purposes, while an additional component, CO-STORM, offers similar features for round-table conversations. After entering a topic, STORM undergoes a brainstorming process to identify articles and information representing diverse viewpoints to include in the article or conversation. Select the link to the topic background discussions to observe the process of creating a conversation or article. Each article contains links to resources utilized to provide information. Visit the Discover section in STORM to find many examples of discussions and articles, or use the search feature to look for specific content. Share or download your results using the PDF link at the bottom of your screen.

In the Classroom
STORM can be used as a research assistant and resource tool to create articles to share and use with students. Ask STORM about upcoming topics in your classroom and include specific information that might not be readily available using textbooks and online searches. For example, when studying climate change, inquire about climate change in your particular region or state to provide more relatable information to your students. STORM creates a table of contents for each article and uses these subtopics as starting points for research projects that present different viewpoints and information about your topic. Explore the BrainSTORMing process of an article with students to discuss and understand how to approach information from various perspectives. Extend learning by asking students to research content from different viewpoints using Project Zero's Thinking Routines Toolbox, reviewed here, specifically those in the Considering Controversies, Dilemmas, and Perspectives category. When complete, use Padlet, reviewed here to share student research by creating columns for each perspective or viewpoint.

View this resource from the Thinking Museum, which presents six inquiry-based routines that educators can use to deepen students' thinking and engagement, particularly around art, objects, or complex ideas. The routines, such as See, Think, Wonder, Looking Ten Times Two, Step Inside, Headlines, Creative Questions, and ESP+I (Experience / Struggles / Puzzles / Insights), offer structured ways to move learners from observation to interpretation, perspective taking, summarizing, curiosity, and reflection. Each routine is explained with its purpose, suggested questions, and tips for adaptation. The activities emphasize flexibility and encourage teachers to build these routines into their "thinking toolkit" for richer classroom discussions.

Display several images, artifacts, or short text excerpts around the room. Students can rotate in groups, using the See, Think, Wonder routine at each station to record their observations, interpretations, and questions on sticky notes or a shared Padlet, reviewed here. After reading a story or historical event, have students "step inside" the mind of a character or figure. Next, they can write or record brief reflections from that person's perspective, describing their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Using Creative Questions, students can brainstorm inquiry-based questions related to a class topic (e.g., "What would happen if...?" or "Why does this matter today?"). Post them on a question wall to inspire deeper research or writing projects.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Google Labs Flow provides a sophisticated sandbox for experimenting with cinematic AI video and high-fidelity music creation. This experimental platform allows users to generate professional-quality video clips using simple text prompts, reference images, or keyframe visuals. The Flow Music component acts as a virtual AI producer, enabling the creation of custom songs and soundtracks through a conversational interface. Free accounts provide 100 initial credits and 50 daily credits to explore features such as text-to-video generation, object insertion or removal in scenes, and video extensions. Sign in to Google and select "new project" to begin creating with Flow. Type what you want to create in the message box and select either image or video after Flow generates your video or music. Continue using the messaging feature to refine your design. When complete, download the video or music or share using the included link.

In the Classroom
Flow is an excellent tool that helps students transform creative writing into vivid cinematic trailers or historical reenactments. After drafting a short story or historical script, students use the text-to-video generator to build a visual representation of their work, focusing on atmospheric details and character consistency. To build on these visuals, students can integrate their videos into Google Sites, reviewed here to create a digital portfolio or a project-based learning website that showcases their multi-modal storytelling. For a more interactive experience, students might take the audio tracks generated in Flow and import them into Book Creator, reviewed here to produce a "talking" digital book where the AI-composed music sets the mood for each page. This workflow allows students to move beyond basic text and static images, enabling them to create sophisticated digital media that capture complex themes through sight and sound.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

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.

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
