In the Classroom
Take advantage of this image generator for a variety of classroom uses. Anytime students use images, discuss the proper use of copyright.

Begin by asking students to generate an image of their choice and save that image. Next, have students add more details to the original description and continue this process a few more times. Next, add the saved images in order onto individual Google Slides, reviewed here and added a text box with the description given to generate the image. The final slide asks students to reflect on how the images change as more descriptive terms are added. Another excellent use of Craiyon is to generate images to match the information in student writing or multimedia projects. For example, use student images when creating comics with Adobe's Comic Strip Maker, reviewed here, or when making explainer videos using Clipchamp, reviewed here .Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
