It’s the time of year for me to share “Best of the Year” lists.
Of course, Artificial Intelligence is big news. In fact, AI has been named Word Of The Year.
I have many AI-related “Best” lists, and you can find them all here.
Here are my choices for the very best ones I’ve learned about this year.
Let me know what you think I’m missing!

Bored Humans will create a song about any topic in any style.
Boom will use AI to create quizzes, which can then be played in a virtual room with up to eight participants. I’m adding it to The Best Online Games Students Can Play In Private Virtual “Rooms”
“READM” LOOKS LIKE A GREAT NEW & FREE AI-POWERED SITE FOR ELLS
The Simple Show Video Maker (The “Simple Show Video Maker” Classroom Plan Looks Fantastic!)
Scraft (I Learned About The AI-Powered Site “Scraft” Today, & It’s Great For ELLs)
Fantons lets you use AI to create comic “panels,” which I assume you can put together to create full comic strips.

“CLAUDE 2” IS A NEW AI CHATBOT, & IT LOOKS IMPRESSIVE
Albus is pretty interesting. First you ask AI a question, and then it will respond to you in sort of stickynotes you put on a board. Then you can add more notes to the board. I’m adding it to The Best Online Virtual “Corkboards” (or “Bulletin Boards”).
Got Feedback is an intriguing free tool. You first tell it what you want to evaluate in a piece of student writing. Then you upload the writing. Finally, it provides you with suggest feedback you can offer that student.
“CAMCAM” IS SUPPOSED TO BE “THE FIRST CHATGPT FOR KIDS”
Presentation GPT looks like the best automatic presentation-maker I’ve seen so far. The slides it creates have far too much text on them, but they do include images (unlike others). Here’s one on teaching ELLs it made for me in seconds.
Comical is an AI tool that will create comic strips. I’m adding it to The Best Ways To Make Comic Strips Online.
Perplexity.Ai and Teach Anything are search engines that provides short and simple answers to questions.

Readow is another AI tool for book recommendations.

Story AI lets you create stories, but it seems to be more scaffolded then other similar tools, and that might make it more useful in the classroom. It asks you specific questions about your story, as opposed to just asking you to give it a prompt. I’m adding it to The Best Online Tools Using Artificial Intelligence For Creating Stories For Children.
Diffit looks likes a nice tool for teachers to use for creating differentiated materials.
