I’ve compiled a list here that I want to turn into a graphic. Notice there is not a lot of context here. Once I have formed this list, I just click a blue lighting button here to the side.
And VOILA! A graphic with the text I just used:
Ways I use Napkin.AI
I teach science. When I need a good visual to compare or contrast topics I can simply use Napkin.AI. By typing in two words: Animal Cell vs Plant Cells and generating an image, I can get a great image that adds differences between the two for me in an instant.
Furthermore, I can edit all the text that is seen on the picture to my liking.
Napkin.AI is an evolving tool, so it will only improve over time. Imagine the possibilities as it adds new features! How do you think this tool could enhance your teaching experience? Comment below!
