At least, for now, I’m going to make this a weekly feature which will highlight additions to THE BEST NEW – & FREE – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS THAT COULD BE USED IN THE CLASSROOM.

Here are the latest:

Quiz8 is like a less sophisticated Wayground or Kahoot. I’m adding it to The Best Online Games Students Can Play In Private Virtual “Rooms”.

Guess what The PDF To Quiz Generator does.

AlphaTune is a simple AI-powered listening exercised focused on the alphabet – for ELLs.

ArtGemAI Hub is a free text-to-image generator.

Best Color Pages is yet another AI-powered tool for coloring pages, as is ColorMon.

Learning Lab seems like a relatively decent tool parents can use with their kids to practice different skills.

Rabbit Hole is a typical AI chatbot. The twist is that it displays information somewhat visually.

DuoBooks is an app that lets you read books in any language you’re learning accompanied with easy translation to your home language.

How to Use AI Effectively in Writing Letters of Recommendation is from Edutopia.

Ten years ago, in another somewhat futile attempt to reduce the backlog of resources I want to share, I began this occasional “Ed Tech Digest” post where I share three or four links I think are particularly useful and related to…ed tech, including some Web 2.0 apps.

Here are this week’s choices:

The New AirPods Can Translate Languages in Your Ears. This Is Profound. is from The NY Times. I’m adding it to THE BEST RESOURCES TO HELP ELL STUDENTS WITH SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATION IN THE CLASSROOM.
