AI Technology & Software To Do The Heavy Lifting!

items The only constant thing is change. With the exponential growth of AI technology, the choices have become overwhelming. I streamlined my process because I couldn't do it all! Currently, I use AI technology for 1) Education (ideas for planning units; a quick summary of curriculum standards (USA, Canada, AUS, UK) without having to do a major search resulting in too many choices; for information to include in PowerPoint(R); ...
I am having lots of fun and gaining so much experience with the DALLE-3 AI image generator from Microsoft. DALLE-3's ability to generate black and white illustrations for coloring pages is awesome! I have seen this in action, and some of the images a...

I am less familiar with this platform, but I have seen it in action. The results are stunning! When I attempted it about 12 months ago, I found it overwhelming and confusing to use. Friends that use this platform love it. But, since I found Night Cafe Studio, I am less inclined to start this up again.
Midjourney
This is, by far, my go-to resource for AI image creation. In fact, the image with the blue horse was used as an avatar in a digital project about idioms. The prompt was ‘horse of a different color’. Night Cafe Studio has a daily challenge and every Thursday (AUS time) the challenge is No-Theme Thursdays. I submitted the horse image. It was voted in the top 20% by other creators. I got started by creating an account and then every day, logged in ... I continued that way for months before deciding to get out my comfort zone and start creating!

I use ChatGPT extensively when I need a block of information available quickly. This replaces my searching the internet for a list of things, and then having to check out each link. Now, not everything works the way I want, but being familiar with co... My experience with math operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) is that it is not reliable. One product I created had only a few answers correct. When I realized the extent to which the data was wrong, I manually reviewed each operation. And, THAT process took time. I ended up with trust issues. LOL

I use this website to quickly created worksheets and puzzles. The fractions sheets I use to support my tutoring student and the Calcudoku style puzzles are a hit with educators.

I use the Vocabulary Builder and the BINGO creator extensively. It does the heavy lifting for my product creation. This software is paid, with different levels based on purchaser needs. I purchased the professional version because I needed more flexibility.
Schoolhouse Technologies: Resource Creation Software
I LOVE, and use, this software exclusively for creating word search puzzles that include a secret, hidden message. I start creating the word search, and then EDIT the wordsearch to include my secret message. I confirm that everything is in order, then export the 2 images (puzzle + solution) as .png files @600dpi because I construct the puzzle in PowerPoint®. Finally, I select the Print function (pdf) to combine the two pages into one printable file. From...
Crossword Compiler: Word Search Puzzles, Crossword Puzzles, Sudoku(R)
This web-based tool for creating low content is another resource I use frequently! For example: Sudoku(R), mazes, word searches, wordoku, crosswords, cryptograms. The puzzle images you see are a sampling of what I created using this tool. The background for each image was added (in PowerPoint®) once the puzzles were downloaded.

I purchased this software at the same time as I bought Crossword Compiler. I was looking for a tool that would provide an offline English dictionary, synonym and thesaurus functions. Here is what the website says about this tool: “WordWeb Pro is an o...

Are you looking to upscale your photos because their resolution, when expanded, is too pixelated? I was. And, when I uploaded photos, selected the parameters I wanted and downloaded the final image, I discovered the sizes to be massive, compared to the originals. At the time of this note, Bigjpg.com offers very affordable pricing structures. I have included screen shots of my process to upscale a 357kb image to over 6MB in the collection of photos.

Canva is my go to online platform to create product covers, Pinterest pins, FB and Instagram posts. There are so many free resources to use that I have yet to use them all. But, then again, my needs are very specific and I can get by with the free version. Currently, Canva has a PRO version, but with their most recent purchase of Affinity suite by Serif, I am not sure what their offerings will be in the future. This was copied from my search:
“Canva and Serif's Announcement
But this one happened out of nowhere — and fast. That is: Canva acquired Serif, a U.K.” company and the creator of the Affinity software. This happened on March 26, 2024."

I wouldn't be without this tool for my writing. I currently use the free version and it works well.

I tried the photo editing features on the website and could not believe the extensive choices I had! It reminded me of a number of features available using Affinity Photo, but with Befunky, changes were one click away. You can do basic editing with the free version, but require an upgrade for more extensive editing. It is certainly worth playing around with. Have fun with this site! :)

It looks like the name on the site is colorcinch, formerly cartoonize.net. But, oh the opportunities to convert images/photos into works of art make this site SO. MUCH. FUN! They offer both FREE and PAID versions.

This looked like a great tool, so I tried it out. The image that resulted was awesome. I couldn't find the download button, but there was a download link: download to see image in Desktop app. Be aware: it's an app that you can install on your computer. Not sure where my picture went, so checked: Start Free Trial. And started again. the first image is the picture I uploaded. Suddenly, it rendered and landed on the page that you see with the pricing structure. Just and FYI. My images are the first three slides.
