Good afternoon human,

Tools 🛠️

1. Canva - Canva is a design tool that can help make resources, presentations and posters more appealing. AI is built into the software to help speed up some of the design processes.

2. SlidesGPT - This tool is an attempt to take out the hardship of creating slides for lessons. You can see an example here. As ever, my advice for such things is that it does not replace you planning, it only gives you a starting point. There is a fee for downloading the slides, but with the use of screenshots, you can use some of the ideas that are generated for you.
