Snorkl utilises artificial intelligence to provide students with immediate feedback for their reasoning and problem-solving activities. The teacher is responsible for sharing the parameters, prompts and tasks for the students to complete, and then the generative AI analyses the students' responses. The analysis would include information about learning gaps, strengths, and weaknesses of the learners, as well as the level of engagement with the activity. 

Feedback is an important aspect of teaching and learning, and therefore teachers, particularly within the 3-12 year groups, will find this tool very useful. So why not begin the journey of exploration? The platform is free for teachers, with some limitations, while Schools and Districts are given custom pricing.

Formative is a learning platform that focuses on enhancing students' reasoning, reading, and problem-solving abilities. This formative learning platform is primarily focused on administering assessments and providing granular data to aid teachers in tracking student progress. The platform is also enhanced by Generative AI (a recent addition), providing an easy way to create lessons, tests/quizzes, analysis, and feedback for students. 

The platform features a collaborative tool that enables teachers to work together on creating assessments or lessons. The platform's services are free for teachers, but they offer a free trial that lasts just over a month, which comes at a cost of $16 for an individual plan. For schools or districts, prices are customised based on consultations with Formative. Click for Tutorial 

Question Well focuses on helping teachers create questions in the most efficient and dynamic way, tailored to their various subject areas. The tool utilises Generative AI or uploaded material to craft tests and quizzes that can be easily downloaded and integrated across various platforms, including Kahoot, WayGround, Canvas, Google Forms, and Microsoft Forms, among others. 

The tool is free for teachers, but, as expected, it has limitations. Teachers can upgrade to the premium plan, which offers more benefits, or schools and districts can pay for customised plans tailored to their specific needs.

Class Companion is designed to offer real-time support to an entire class during written assignments. The platform uses AI to deliver personalised guidance, feedback, and assessment of students’ work, while also generating analytical data that helps teachers evaluate learner progress. 

Students are given multiple opportunities to correct their work based on the AI's feedback and teacher responses. It features an intuitive interface and straightforward tools, making it easy to navigate and implement in the classroom.

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, developed by CAST, provides a research-based approach to designing inclusive learning experiences that address learner variability. It is built on three guiding principles: Engagement (the 'why' of learning), Representation (the 'what' of learning), and Action & Expression (the 'how' of learning). These principles help educators proactively remove barriers, promote accessibility, and ensure that every learner has equitable opportunities to succeed.

Educators can apply UDL by offering multiple ways for students to access, engage with, and demonstrate understanding of content—using flexible materials, assessments, and digital tools. This approach aligns with the Modification and Redefinition levels of the SAMR model, transforming traditional instruction into an inclusive, learner-centred experience. Click for Tutorial
