Created a POE app to provide vocab help for reading

 On July 26, I used the 'Create Canvas app' function inside POE to create an interactive app for assisting students to understand a passage. Every time they don't understand a word while reading the passage, they hover their cursor over the word, and the definition will pop up. 

See blogpost: https://szepaul.blogspot.com/2025/07/created-vocab-hover-tooltip-reading.html

Today, I thought: "Why not make it all-encompassing, by allowing learners to paste in a text they are reading?'

MY PROMPT: 

Create an interactive app that helps ESL students understand the passage they are reading. The students will paste the passage they are reading into the app. Then While reading, If they do not understand one of the words in the passage, they will hover their cursor over the word, and then the meaning of that word will pop up.

Then, I gave it try. The resulting app works:
