Khanmigo
Built on Khan Academy's content spine, Khanmigo tutors by questioning, nudging students to explain their thinking rather than dispensing solutions. Teacher tools are free and handle planning and reports; the student tutor comes via school and district plans.
Project it solving nothing: model how to ask a tutor good questions, which is itself the lesson.
Diffit
Paste an article, a chapter, or just a topic, pick a grade level, and receive a leveled passage with vocabulary, comprehension questions, and discussion prompts. Differentiation, the thing every PD demands and no schedule allows, suddenly takes ninety seconds.
Build your three level versions of one primary source and hand them out without comment; access without stigma.
