AI Tools: Revolutionizing Differentiated Instruction in the Classroom

How AI Tools can help with Differentiated Instruction: 

Differentiated instruction is a highly effective teaching approach that can help students learn at their own pace and path. However, creating personalized lesson plans for each student can be a daunting task for teachers. This is where AI-powered tools come in.

AI tools have the potential to revolutionize the way we approach education, especially differentiated instruction. By analyzing student data, AI tools can generate personalized lesson plans tailored to each student's needs. These tools can also provide real-time feedback and assessments to help teachers adjust their daily instruction.

The free download and videos will showcase five “Freemium” AI tools that can help with Differentiated Instruction. The tools all hyper focus on leveled questions and text, building upon prior knowledge, as well as tying the content back to the learning standards.

Diffit.me

“Work smarter, not harder" is a motto that many educators follow when trying to implement differentiated instruction for all learners. Now, with diffit.me, differentiated instruction has become much easier. diffit.me enables teachers to quickly differentiate text, generate questions for YouTube videos, and design reading passages based on learning standards. The best part is that most of the reading passages can be broken down into interactive notes. The ready-made activities will literally cut the work time for Differentiated Instruction in half. You can watch a video on how I use diffit.me as an instructional coach, and feel free to join us on April 22 for a FREE workshop on AI Tools for Teachers.

Conker.ai 

Conker.ai helps differentiate instruction by allowing the teacher to generate quiz questions that align with the standards quickly.  The teacher can build out a wide range of questions based on the learning targets and the students' interest and elevate the learning with the customizable features.  The questions can be read aloud to the students, and challenging questions can be designed based on the context.  The best part of conker.ai is that the questions can quickly be exported to a Google Form or learning management systems like Canvas.  Using conker.ai as a formative assessment, the teacher can quickly form data-driven groups based on standard-based questions to help drive the small group instruction.  Conker.ai is the key to Differentiated Instruction.

​Learning English can be tough. It often takes around 2000 hours of study to become good at it. This can be even harder for people whose first language is very different from English.
Eigo.AI is here to make learning English easier and more effective. We use the latest AI technology to create lessons for all levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Our lessons include activities that help with reading, listening, speaking, and writing in English. With Eigo.AI, students get quick feedback on how they speak and write, which helps them improve faster. They can also see how much progress they're making over time.

We cover many interesting topics in our lessons. Students can learn about history, science, and famous people in popular culture. This way, they're not just learning English; they're also learning about different subjects that might interest them.

Class Companion

As an instructional coach, I have the opportunity to spend time in the classrooms, plan with the teachers, and provide professional development workshops based on differentiated instruction. In the last fifteen years, I have heard multiple teachers say that they want to provide quick feedback to the students, but with 150 students, it is hard to get that information back quickly.  

Until now, I have just agreed with them and tried to find quick shortcuts for grading and planning so the teachers would have more time to provide quality feedback. With the ClassCompanion AI tool, the students can receive fast feedback from a Bot with the teacher's input. Class Companion provides quality feedback with real-time reports and allows the teacher to assess the students with customizable rubrics. With this program, teachers have saved time and allowed the students multiple chances to practice their learning craft. 

Kids Think Wide 

Capturing students' attention, getting them interested in a topic, and finding ways for them to express themselves are always at the forefront of teachers' minds. With the highly engaging website, kidsthinkwide, teachers can provoke thinking, imagination, collaboration, and communication of an aligned standard. Kidsthinkwide is a website that uses AI to help generate thought-provoking photos. The photos grab the student's attention, and the teacher can use the images to connect the learning targets. With the correct set of questions, the teacher can quickly differentiate instruction based on prior knowledge. Take time to explore kidsthinkwide.  ​
