Propello - A New Science Teaching and Learning Platform Propello is a new service that offers a free and customizable science learning platform. Propello provides teachers with core science curriculum that is recommended for students in grades six through eight. But because Propello allows teachers to modify materials, the curriculum could be used with younger or older students. When you sign-up for a free Propello account you'll have access to all of the materials on offer. The materials are organized into three sections. Those sections are Earth and Space Science, Life Science, and Physical Science.  Each of those sections is divided into chapters. Within each chapter there are articles for students to read. Comprehension questions are interspersed within the articles. The articles include pictures, drawings, and videos. Microsoft's Immersive Reader tool is incorporated into Propello for students to use as needed. The articles in Propello are followed by activities and exercises for students to complete on their own and or with classmates and you. In Propello you can create learning paths for their students to follow instead of following the curriculum as organized by Propello. You also create groups of students in your Propello account. Applications for EducationPropello appears to be in its early stages right now. That said, my preliminary testing of it is promising. If you're a middle school teacher who is looking for some new material to use this spring or next fall, Propello could be a good resource for you. The teacher guides that go along with every chapter in Propello list all of the standards addressed in the materials for the chapter.     gotFeedback - An AI Tool for Providing Feedback on Writing gotFeedback is a new tool for providing your students with feedback on their writing. As the title of this post stated, gotFeedback uses artificial intelligence to help you provide your students with feedback on their writing. To use gotFeedback you can either upload a document (PDF or Word) or paste the text of a document into gotFeedback. After uploading or entering a document you then select the element of writing that you want gotFeedback to analyze. gotFeedback has four default options for analyzing a document. Those options are narrative structure, details in the writing, claims in the writing, and use of evidence in the writing. You can also enter a custom aspect of the writing for gotFeedback to analyze. gotFeedback offers some guidance on how to writing a custom prompt for analyzing writing. After analyzing a document gotFeedback provides a written evaluation. You can copy the text of the evaluation and paste it into your own document where you can edit it to provide more personalized feedback for your students.
