Have students complete a teacher-created crossword or word search using current vocabulary. After finishing, students can explain the meaning of 3-5 words they found and use them in original sentences. Set up rotating stations with different puzzles (crossword, quiz, matching). Each station reviews a different concept from the unit. Students can work in small groups to solve each activity and track their progress. After a lesson, students can create puzzles that connect the topic to real-world applications or other subjects. For example, a reading puzzle could include examples of figurative language from songs or other media.Edge Features:

Edit your board by adding photos or documents, resizing images, adding text, or organizing content. When complete, use the share button to create a shareable URL. Mixboard can also transform the content into a presentation; hover your mouse over the transform button at the top-right of your board to see how many files you need to upload before you can generate a presentation. When the indicator says "Ready," you're good to go. Customize your presentation using the provided choices, including format, story, and appearance. Presentations may take up to twenty minutes to create.

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.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (294), digital storytelling (165), presentations (33), tutorials (50)
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.

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.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (294), professional development (318), Research (86)
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

Google Opal is an experimental tool from Google Labs that lets you build, edit, and share AI-powered mini-apps using simple natural language rather than traditional coding. Teachers can use Opal to quickly create interactive tools, workflows, or classroom resources by describing what they want and then refining them in a visual editor. The platform handles the technical aspects such as hosting and deployment, making it accessible for beginners while still offering flexibility for more advanced users. This makes Opal a useful resource for educators interested in introducing students to AI concepts, problem-solving, and creative digital design without requiring programming experience.

Customize a Genially escape room (like Education Escape Room or Mystery Breakout) with questions and puzzles that review key concepts from your current unit--perfect as a fun pre-test or review session. Divide students into small groups and assign each group a different puzzle or task within the escape game. This activity encourages teamwork, communication, and shared problem-solving as they work toward a common goal. Challenge students to create their digital escape rooms using Genially's templates. They must design puzzles, write clues, and embed subject content, transforming them from game players into game designers. Use a breakout template to reinforce vocabulary. Each "lock" can be opened only by correctly defining or using academic terms in context, making it ideal for ELA, science, or history.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
