Twinkl, my favourite educational resources site, has lots of AI tools to try out. I want to share my experiences with them so you know if they are worth checking out.
Disclosure: This post contains referral links. I am a Twinkl brand ambassador.
Twinkl Has AI
What is AI?
At its core, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science and engineering of creating intelligent machines. These machines are designed to mimic human intelligence and behaviors, enabling them to learn from experience, adapt to new information, and perform tasks that traditionally required human cognitive capabilities. source
What AI Tools Are Available?
Ari (Twinkl’s AI name) has a few different tools:
Lesson Planning/Resources/Assessments
Use Ari like any AI but it’s specifically built to support educators. Chat with Ari to generate ideas, write a lesson plan, create a quiz, generate a story starter, write a close passage, create a crossword, create a home education curriculum plan, create homework tasks, create a times tale test, generate vocabulary lists and much more.
Create
Create allows you to make your own resources and/or illustrations to go with resources. You can make a variety of things. (see below). There are templates available or you can start from scratch. There is even AI inside the AI Create to help you with wording or creating images for your creation. It’s very reminiscent of Canva.
Chatbots – Speak to a Historical Figure
Your child can speak to a historical figure! Just choose the person and input the age(s) of your student(s) and then they can ask questions. AI isn’t fool proof so don’t use the answers for research but as a fun way to time travel.
Where to Find Twinkl AI TOOLS
Twinkl (referral link) is the Canadian site but there are sites for many different countries. Click that link and then at the bottom of the page are the links to the other sites around the world. One each site, there is a link in the main link bar for AI Tools.
You DO need a membership to use the AI. However they often have free trials, free download days/weekends and I can gift some free month memberships. Email me kathleenbailey1983@gmail.com if you are in Canada and would like a free gift month membership. I just need your email address you want for your account. If you want to purchase a membership, the price is pretty low for all that you get with Twinkl.
Enjoy!
