Speed up grading while keeping the teacher in control with GradeWithAI, an AI-powered grading and feedback tool designed for educators. Teachers can import assignments from Canvas, Google Classroom, and Google Forms or upload digital and handwritten student work, including PDFs, Word documents, presentations, and images. Add an existing rubric or have the tool generate an editable rubric from assignment directions, then review the AI-generated scores and personalized feedback before returning results to students. GradeWithAI also includes tools for regrading, exporting results, identifying learning gaps, generating follow-up activities, and analyzing student performance. The free plan is limited to 25 AI requests per month.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (368), assessment (144), feedback (20), Formative Assessment (52), rubrics (40), Teacher Utilities (234)
In the Classroom
Have teachers upload a set of student essays with an existing rubric, then use the generated scores and comments as a first grading pass, carefully reviewing and editing all feedback before returning the work to students. Ask teachers to use Kleo, the built-in AI assistant, to identify common misconceptions after grading an assignment, then use those findings to plan a small-group reteaching activity or next-day warm-up. Have teachers grade a common assessment with GradeWithAI and review results across the class, then compare AI-generated patterns with classroom observations to determine which skills students have mastered and which need more practice.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Trace the environmental movement from the events that inspired Earth Day to its development into a worldwide observance with this chronological overview from HISTORY. Beginning with Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson's birth in 1916, the timeline highlights Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, the 1969 Cuyahoga River fire, the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, major environmental legislation, Earth Day's international expansion, the Paris climate agreement, Greta Thunberg's climate protests, and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in 2020. The combination of concise dated entries, photographs, related links, and a short video makes the resource useful for examining connections among environmental concerns, activism, government action, and changing public awareness. If your district blocks YouTube, you may not be able to view the videos.

Help students discover more about Earth Day, planet Earth, and the people working to protect it. WWF-UK brings together accessible facts, conservation stories, and hands-on Earth Day activities focused on wildlife and the natural world. Students can explore facts about oceans and forests, read firsthand accounts from WWF conservationists, learn about projects involving tigers, rhinos, jaguars, pandas, penguins, and hawksbill turtles, and try activities such as creating a nature book or coloring a rainforest scene. The page also encourages spending time outdoors and links to additional games, live learning opportunities, and environmental resources. This collection works especially well as a starting point for Earth Day inquiry because teachers can select individual readings and activities rather than follow a prescribed sequence.
tag(s): biodiversity (45), conservation (110), earth day (68), ecosystems (117), forests (31), oceans (142), sustainability (61)
In the Classroom
Ask students to explore the ocean and forest facts, then work in pairs to sort their findings into categories such as biodiversity, human impact, ecosystem services, threats, and conservation solutions. Ask students to choose one issue they learned about from the Earth Day resources and write a persuasive Earth Day message explaining why others should care and one action individuals or communities could take. Have students conduct a biodiversity observation around the school grounds or another nearby outdoor area, tally the living things they observe, and propose one realistic change that could make the area more supportive of wildlife.

Chalkie uses AI to generate free teaching resources, including interactive lessons and activities. Start by adding a prompt in the message bar that states the content and type of activity you want to create. Use the prompts to adjust the content to the grade level, reading level, output language, and other options. Additional options include activity types, adding standards and learning objectives, and creating vocabulary lists. The final step before Chalkie generates your activity is to select a theme option, some of which create materials for students who require low stimulation and have ADHD. After Chalkie generates your materials, use the options to edit them as needed. Although registration isn't required to create with Chalkie, a free account lets users share and export materials to Google Slides, PowerPoint, and PDF, and use Teach Mode. Free plans let users create 5 resources weekly, plus up to 10 AI edits each week.

Creators have many font options; however, GenType lets you create a unique alphabet font by simply telling it what you want it to be made of. Start by typing a prompt in the text box; Google suggests prompts with a foreground, background, and style for the best results. After generating your alphabet, type in a phrase to download as a PNG image or scroll down to copy or download individual letters. Visit the FAQ section to learn more about how to use and download GenType.

In the Classroom
Use GenType to personalize and enhance multimedia projects, newsletters, or written documents. Share it with students to make book reports and research projects more engaging. Generating an alphabet with a prompt requires strong descriptive language; use this feature to give students practice writing descriptive terms. After students create an alphabet, have them share it with a friend and see if they can recreate a similar alphabet without the original prompt. Have students use their alphabets to add interest to websites created using Google Sites, reviewed here or Site123, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
