Compatible with nearly any device, including iPads, Chromebooks, and web browsers, it offers an infinite canvas for drawing, annotating, importing files, recording lessons, and sharing content instantly. Teachers can create interactive presentations and video tutorials, while students can collaborate through shared projects. The platform includes templates, engagement tools like spinners and polls, and integrates with popular learning management systems such as Google Classroom and Canvas. The free version includes up to three projects with one slide, and a 15-minute collaboration with one other person.
tag(s): collaboration (116), Whiteboard (12)
In the Classroom
Have students create visual vocabulary cards on a single whiteboard slide, using drawings, annotations, and voice recordings to explain the meaning and usage of new words. After reading a story or novel, students can recreate a key scene on a single slide using images, sketches, labels, and narration to demonstrate comprehension and analysis. Have students record a short reflection or hypothesis after an experiment or lesson. They can annotate a diagram or photo while explaining their thinking, then share the recording. Use the limited real-time collaboration feature to have a pair of students work together on one slide to brainstorm ideas for a project, story, or debate topic, within a 15-minute time limit.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

The ZeroGPT Plus website offers a free, web-based AI content detection tool that requires no sign-up. Educators, writers, and students can paste text into the tool to receive an instant analysis indicating whether the content is likely human-written, AI-generated, or a mix of both. The tool highlights specific sentences with color-coded indicators and provides an overall percentage score to help users identify areas for revision to improve authenticity. ZeroGPT Plus supports detection in more than 20 languages and includes features such as paraphrasing, grammar checking, and an "AI Humanizer" to help improve AI-sounding text.

tag(s): artificial intelligence (316), editing (90)
In the Classroom
Give students two short paragraphs, one human-written and one AI-generated, without telling them which is which. Students vote or discuss which one they believe was written by a person. Then, paste both into ZeroGPT Plus to test their predictions and spark a discussion on writing style, tone, and what makes writing "feel" human. After identifying a passage flagged as AI-generated, have students work in pairs to revise it so it sounds more human. They can adjust sentence length, add figurative language, personal anecdotes, or rhetorical questions. After editing, students retest the revised version in ZeroGPT to see if their changes improved the human-likeness score. Have students write a paragraph, then use an AI tool (like ChatGPT, reviewed here or another) to rewrite it. They can analyze both versions using ZeroGPT Plus and compare the scores and stylistic differences.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Have students use the Cornell Notes format while listening to a short lecture, story, or read-aloud.

Students take Cornell Notes while watching/listening, then compare their Cues and Summaries in small groups, which encourages active listening and discussion. At the end of class, have students complete only the Summary section of their Cornell Notes as a quick "exit ticket." Teachers can review these to check comprehension and adjust future lessons.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This online comic creator from Brush Ninja allows students to design simple comic books that can be printed and folded into small booklets using a single sheet of paper. The tool lets you create or upload up to 8 images and arrange them into pages that form a mini comic, magazine, or booklet, making it easy to turn drawings or digital art into a finished product. Because the program runs in the browser, no download is required, and it can be used on most devices, making it a good option for classroom projects, storytelling activities, or creative writing extensions. The site is part of the Brush Ninja collection of free creative tools designed to be simple, safe, and accessible for learners of all ages.

In the Classroom
After reading a story or chapter, have students create a short comic showing the beginning, middle, and end of the text. Have students illustrate a scientific concept or process, such as the water cycle, the life cycle, or experimental steps. Students can create a comic where a character must solve a math problem. Each panel can show one step of the solution with explanations.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
