Diffit.me AI Tool of the Week 01

Diffit.me is an artificial intelligence tool that allows quick-level text and questions based on current reading grade level. Last week, while reading a daily blog post, I came across the AI tool diffit.me for teachers. I quickly signed up for the AI program and used the tool to generate an article for a third-grade level.  ​

Here are my top ten things I enjoyed about the program. 

1.  It was easy to use
2. I can search for topics based on standards or an article theme.
3. I can also paste an article to change the reading level, or I was able to insert a web link to a published article.
4. The program provided a summary of the article.
5. There were keywords with definitions from the article. 
6. It works well with Google Docs.  
7. The rigor behind the extended response and open-ended questions was impressive.
8. I can switch the article over to a native language. 
9. The article can be copied and pasted into the learning management systems
10. The ability to quickly deploy differentiated text to the students. 

How to Incorporate Diffit.me into Learning Studios
As an instructional coach, I plan on showcasing diffit.me to the teachers during the planning process. As the teachers are designing the lessons, I will showcase how to use the district-provided resources and how using the AI program can help to differentiate the content for all levels of learning.  
Example Lesson Outline 
SG: The teacher can use diffit.me to find leveled reading passages to help teach or reteach a standard.
IP: Leveled comprehension questions from the article can be answered from the article. (The high group might start at the independent studio and read the article before answering the questions.  
DC: Students will learn or relearn about the standard from an EdPuzzle or an online adaptive program. 
FR: The open-ended questions can be used for discussion questions during the future-ready studio.
VS: The students can use one of the key vocabulary words from the article to generate a Frayer model. 

Key: SG - Small Group, IP - Independent Practice, DC - Digital Content, FR - Future Ready Studio, VS - Vocabulary Studio
