Featured AI Tool
🎭 Scroobly 🎭
Scroobly is an AI tool that uses your device's camera to turn your upper body actions and head movements into an amusing doodle. No sign-in is necessary! Students can use their bodies to act out vocabulary words or parts of a story without having to show their faces. There are colorful pre-made doodle bodies to choose from, or students who want to be more creative can use the app's tools to draw their own. Once movements and actions are recorded, doodles can be saved as a GIF. Try it out below.
🖼️ Twin Pics 🖼️
Challenge yourself and your students to meticulously describe the daily AI-generated image in 100 characters. The closer your description gets to matching what's happening in the AI-generated image, the higher the score you receive. You'll be able to see how close other users have gotten to matching the image. Discuss as a class the possible flaws in their descriptions based on the images generated. Every day, a new image appears with more opportunities to hone your description abilities.
Khroma - AI Color Picker
Picking a beautiful color palette for your presentations can be overwhelming. Let Khroma's AI tools learn what colors appeal most to you and then generate color combinations that you're guaranteed to like. When you click on the link to the right, you'll first be asked to train the AI by choosing colors you're attracted to. After you've finished training the AI, Khroma will generate pleasing color palettes built to your tastes. Click on the "more info" option inside the color combinations to find the hex codes that can be entered into Google Slides or anywhere else. Custom colors are an option. Designers suggest using one or two colors for your presentation backgrounds and two colors for accents and fonts. Using more than four colors in a presentation may be messy and not cohesive.
