They write questions based on their research or learning, choose an image to hide, and then share their games with classmates for peer learning. Create a game using unit questions (e.g., life cycles, weather, or historical events). As students answer correctly, the picture underneath reveals something connected to the topic (like a habitat, invention, or landmark).Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Google's Teachable Machine is an experimental AI tool that allows users to create simple machine learning models without needing coding experience. Using images, sounds, or body poses, students and teachers can train models to recognize, classify, and sort information through hands-on experimentation. The site includes tutorials and sample projects that demonstrate how AI can identify objects, recognize sounds, or respond to movement and gestures. Teachable Machine also provides classroom-ready lessons and activities for K-12 students that explore topics such as artificial intelligence, ethics, creativity, and computer science concepts. To begin, users select a project type, gather and train sample data, test the model, and then save or share their finished project via links or platform-supported export options.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (358), game based learning (309), gamified learning (65)
In the Classroom
Share Teachable Machines with students who enjoy working with computers and ask them to develop models for different learning activities. For example, ask students to use the image model to create examples of categories of animals for young students and provide them with a picture bank of animals. Use the picture bank to see if animals are categorized correctly as a learning activity. For older students, use this site to build learning games.

Blooket is a digital review game built for classroom use. Educators create game sets, and students join on their devices to play a variety of game options using the provided code. Games include solo or group play options. Build sets using your own questions or search Blooket's library to find games created by other educators. Save favorite sets to your account for later use, then duplicate sets and edit to fit your needs when ready to play. Blooket also offers the option to import quizzes directly from Quizlet, reviewed here. As students join a game, they choose a Blook, a character that serves as an avatar. When ready, choose the "host" option to begin play by selecting a game mode and following prompts. Some games allow students to assign homework, enabling them to complete the game within the selected time frame.
