IXL and it's AI goodies!

By -

IXL uses AI as a core component to augment learning and instruction. It builds upon and adjusts for student performance. Its four main components:

Personalized Learning Paths: tailored learning trajectory based on performance and proficiency

Adaptive Difficulty Adjustment: difficulty level adjusts based on performance

Real-Time Feedback and Self-Assessment: likelihood of a student understanding a concept based on response patterns

Natural Language Processing: writing and reading comprehension

A great feature of IXL is that it’s able to translate stories or text for ESL students with over 120 languages available, with some even having audio support. Translation support can be activated for specific students at any time.

Below is a link to a YouTube video discussing IXL and it's translation software:

The creative workspace for teachers

IXL's AI software is called Spark Studio. Much like other AI's used in Canva or MagicSchool, the AI is used to support teacher planning and resources. It can create lesson plans, quizzes or interactive games based on given parameters.

    I'm bummed IXL will not be utilized by all my students at my next school, but I find comfort in knowing that I can request it if my student's IEP identifies it as a supplemental support. I found that that my ESL student last year made amazing progress with the consistent use of the program.

Canva is a user-friendly, online design tool suitable for non-designers who want to create visual content quickly and simply. It offers a wide range of templates, affordability, and team collaboration features, though it lacks the advanced precision and export capabilities of professional software. Using Canva in an ESL curriculum provides an engaging and visually appealing way to enhance language skills. However, its large selection of templates and technical requirements can occasionally distract students from authentic language learning. Canva AI serves as a highly visual and effective tool for ESL learners. Its primary benefit is easing the anxiety of language learning through multimodal support features such as automatic text translation, AI-generated voice output, and image prompts. However, it requires oversight to ensure students actively produce language and do not rely exclusively on the AI. PROS -Canva can assist with reducing cognitive overload. Vis...
