Gamma is an AI-powered creation tool that helps users quickly build presentations, documents, websites, and visual content. Users can start with a blank page or use AI to generate a project from a prompt, pasted text, uploaded file, or web link. Gamma guides users through selecting themes, layouts, and design styles, while keeping all content fully editable for easy customization. Finished projects can be shared through published links, embedded into websites, or exported as PDFs or PowerPoint files. The free version includes a limited number of AI credits and access to basic AI image-generation features, allowing users to create and experiment with several projects before upgrading to a paid plan.

In the Classroom
Use Gamma to create engaging presentations to introduce and review content quickly. For example, ask Gamma to create a presentation introducing a new novel to students, including background information and vocabulary. Instead of creating a presentation, use Gamma to create an interactive website as a flipped learning activity and include links to online resources and assessments created with Microsoft Forms, reviewed here or embedded quizzes made with Blooket, reviewed here.Edge Features:

Google's Teachable Machine is an experimental AI tool that allows users to create simple machine learning models without needing coding experience. Using images, sounds, or body poses, students and teachers can train models to recognize, classify, and sort information through hands-on experimentation. The site includes tutorials and sample projects that demonstrate how AI can identify objects, recognize sounds, or respond to movement and gestures. Teachable Machine also provides classroom-ready lessons and activities for K-12 students that explore topics such as artificial intelligence, ethics, creativity, and computer science concepts. To begin, users select a project type, gather and train sample data, test the model, and then save or share their finished project via links or platform-supported export options.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (342), game based learning (319), gamification (89)
In the Classroom
Share Teachable Machines with students who enjoy working with computers and ask them to develop models for different learning activities. For example, ask students to use the image model to create examples of categories of animals for young students and provide them with a picture bank of animals. Use the picture bank to see if animals are categorized correctly as a learning activity. For older students, use this site to build learning games.

Udio uses AI to create original music with vocals and instrumentation from text prompts. After creating a free account, users can enter prompts describing the song's topic, genre, mood, style, lyrics, or length. An optional AI prompt-enhancement feature can help generate more detailed and creative results. Once songs are generated, users can remix, extend, edit, and refine their music before downloading or sharing it by URL. Udio also provides options to export audio and create simple music videos. The free plan currently includes a limited number of daily and monthly credits for song generation, while paid plans unlock additional features and higher usage limits.

In the Classroom
Use this song generator to engage students in any subject. For example, ask Udio to create lyrics and music to coincide with upcoming holidays and classroom events. Try asking Udio to make an upbeat song about your field trip to the zoo or a jazz song that includes information about New Orleans, and play the song for students as a schema activator for your lesson. Create songs with specific vocabulary terms for students to use as a learning aid or produce songs that assist multilingual learners in learning English. App smash Udio with MagicSchool's Song Generator, reviewed here by asking MagicSchool to create a song using any topic and details, then copy the lyrics into Udio to turn the lyrics into any genre desired. Ask students to use Udio to make a song that accompanies a research project or multimedia presentation, then include the song with other presentation elements built into a simple website created with edublogs, reviewed here or another free website builder like Straw Page, reviewed here.Edge Features:
