Amanda Bickerstaff: Hi, everyone! Welcome to our webinar. We're so excited to have you here. It's gonna take just a minute to get everybody in. So we'll give everyone just a minute. I we're gonna be talking about presentations today, which is something I think is a huge pain point for most of us out there. But really excited to have Kevin here. Who's an amazing technology facilitator out in Arkansas. And we're gonna get started

Amanda Bickerstaff: just in at 601, our time here in New York City. And like, I said, if you're here before, please say hello in the chat where you're from, what you do. That would be amazing. Let's see who gets in there first.

Amanda Bickerstaff: We've got from Greece. Amazing! Hi, Julie, love Greece. Greek salad is like one of my favorite things in the whole world. We've got China, Dana, we love you, Dana. Dana is part of our women a Education group. We also have Amanda, who introduced it from our team, who introduced us to heaven. So Arkansas strong Hawaii! Hi, Brian! Amazing. So we've got France, we already see, like our lovely global audience. So we're gonna get started

Amanda Bickerstaff: as if you've been here before. It's your first time we're really happy to have you here. I'm Amanda Bickerstaff. I'm the CEO and co-founder of AI for education. We have been doing this work now for about 8 months of webinars. We started back in June, and we have seen over and over again how important slide generation is to teachers lives like we are tasked and asked to create slides, as if we were presenting to, you know.

Amanda Bickerstaff: the biggest corporate boardroom literally every day, sometimes up to 5 times of a different type of Powerpoint or Slide generation. So we know that this is a really big pain point. And so we're here today to talk about how to do that with generative AI tools only free, we will be focusing on canva magic and then some freemium tools. And we're just very excited. So this is your first time or forever. We love that you've already gotten involved, and said hello in the chat, but first get involved. We are.

Amanda Bickerstaff: We're so lucky to have so much of a great community that comes to these webinars, you know, sometimes more than we do on the topics. If you have a great resource or tool. Please please share we will. If you have a question specifically for myself or for Kevin, please put that in the QA. And not in the chat, because, as you can see, like sometimes it go pretty quickly. And like, I said, just share resources. If you have a

Amanda Bickerstaff: great approach. If you've made a great slide deck that you want to share, please do that. So I'm gonna come off share just for a moment, because I wanna give Kevin the spotlight and so really excited to have Kevin here. Kevin has a an educator, a tech facilitator, an enthusiast. He's someone that if you're in the same boat that came to generative AI and said, What can I do with this? And is learning all the time? And so I'd love to you to introduce yourself, and always ask this question. What was your first prompt that you ever did.

Kevin Kaeser: So yeah, I I have just been loving this. since 2022, like, I mean, it's been a beautiful thing I

Kevin Kaeser: the the. I probably asked it to tell me a joke first but the then the other thing I did is I I was doing some. I asked it to make a description of something like thermonuclear dynamics or something. Then I asked it to write a song about it in the Qc. And then I asked it to do a Will Smith, rap about it, and it just cause I wanted to see what kind of lyrical style, but I've I've been I've been enjoying

15

00:03:54.600 --> 00:04:03.810

Kevin Kaeser: the this. This change is so cool to be a part of almost a whole new epic of educational history.

16

00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:09.060

Amanda Bickerstaff: And do you want to talk a little bit about what you do in at Harrison?

17

00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:33.850

Kevin Kaeser: Absolutely. I I I run our seventh through twelfth grade. Ed tech program. I I administer a thing called canvas. It's our learning management system. And I get to spend my time playing around with technology and then teaching teachers. And my favorite thing to do right now is I, I've developed some what is AI? So I can talk to the kids in the classroom.

18

00:04:34.597 --> 00:04:53.959

Kevin Kaeser: So that we can start having kids become leaders. In using this tool that they're going to encounter and instead of ha! Instead of having that fear of well, that. What are they going to do with it? Now let's let's let's get them excited and and really help them a energize them towards a better future.

19

00:04:54.300 --> 00:05:12.916

Amanda Bickerstaff: This is amazing. I'm just gonna make one little note to everybody. We have a couple of note takers in the room, and so we usually like suggest that we always ask permission. So we are gonna probably we're gonna probably ask you to like like, pick out your note takers. Also, Margaret, as that question for you, Kevin, are you a real person? Are you.

20

00:05:13.190 --> 00:05:19.488

Kevin Kaeser: I'm a real person. Hold up! But let me see if I can. Turn off my

21

00:05:20.190 --> 00:05:21.020

Kevin Kaeser: There.

22

00:05:21.830 --> 00:05:30.196

Amanda Bickerstaff: I see he's real. It's if he's not a he's not a fake he's not even labs, or sora, or anything generated.

23

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.560

Kevin Kaeser: Gemini ultra pro pro.

24

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:52.759

Amanda Bickerstaff: Ex. Exactly. So we wanna start the conversation with some best practices of like thinking about slide generation and how you can start to use generative AI. And so you may have tried some of the free tools. You may already be a canva magic enthusiast, but what we wanna talk about is kind of what these best practices are, and you know, the first thing is that

25

00:05:52.760 --> 00:06:17.749

Amanda Bickerstaff: you should be thinking about like these generative tools like magic on canva are really about the visual and structural aspects, but that the the content itself needs to really be driven by your expertise, your pedagogical content, knowledge or Pck, and your knowledge of your students. And so while this is a really great opportunity and we're gonna show you magic, it cannot replace. You can't just create this beautiful slide

26

00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:42.699

Amanda Bickerstaff: deck without you still being the center of this and the expert in your domain. And so we are gonna show you ways to use. And Ken was talking about app smashing. We're gonna use a couple of tools like Chat tbt, as well as Scammer magic to get to some of that content. So it's you're not feeling, as you know, like under the Pre. Under the pump. But we still want you to always remember to be the expert in this piece. The second, of course, is that we know that generi is brand.

27

00:06:42.700 --> 00:07:07.550

Amanda Bickerstaff: and it has some major issues, whether that is hallucinations or knowledge cut offs where it can make up things that are that are not correct. But also, if you saw all the Gemini Kerfuffle it's my word Kerfuffle, but where Gemini has it had an image generator, and by trying to fine tune it to be less you know, biased, it became more biased, and they actually had to take it off the market. So if you're using this for generative

28

00:07:07.841 --> 00:07:31.440

Amanda Bickerstaff: for actual development of images, especially images of people. You want to be very careful that that is not rep replicating and are exacerbating existing bias in these models. So we always want you to fax check. The second thing is to provide structure and edit like you need to be. It's really interesting. We're show you how to prompt this. A conversational chat, bot. But then we're also gonna show you how you'd have to be a little bit

29

00:07:31.440 --> 00:08:00.169

Amanda Bickerstaff: different with canva magic. So you're going to need to have clear pumps and outlines that can produce more relevant content. And then the idea is to edit and revise in your own voice your students. This is such a good opportunity to have your students really get to know you more, too, because you're going to be saving that time. And the last thing is, there are all kinds of tools, and they are getting better. You know, you have specific tools just for creating slides like gamma. And you have tools that are just for

30

00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:24.309

Amanda Bickerstaff: thinking about education technology and are starting to build better slide decks. And so all of those things are going to be great. But it's gonna be, we're really gonna focus today because of our our focus on equity on the free tool. So if you are an educator, you will have access to Camba, which has the Camba magic piece, and we'll also be looking at Ch. The free model as well as maybe a little bit of perplexity. We might throw that in to get some resources.

31

00:08:24.310 --> 00:08:36.790

Amanda Bickerstaff: But I'm gonna hand this over now to our Kevin, who's gonna take us through canva magic. Give us some information about what it does and what it doesn't do. And then we're gonna do some live, some live work, and we hope that you prompt with us.

32

00:08:41.630 --> 00:08:44.310

Kevin Kaeser: Alright. I am having trouble sharing my screen.

33

00:08:44.310 --> 00:08:48.070

Amanda Bickerstaff: Oh, we might have to make you hold on! Let's make you a co-presenter.

34

00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:56.309

Amanda Bickerstaff: and then we should be able to do that. Hold on. You are now co-host, and you should be able to share screen.

35

00:08:56.310 --> 00:08:58.140

Kevin Kaeser: Fantastic.

36

00:08:58.970 --> 00:09:00.649

Kevin Kaeser: all right. So

37

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.180

Kevin Kaeser: canva magic studio. Whoa! Oh, it's magic, and it's a really great

38

00:09:08.546 --> 00:09:28.890

Kevin Kaeser: piece it. It's it saves you tons of time. And in the presentation world it's going to give you so many good ideas, just like generate gener of AI gives you great starting places. That's what we're gonna do with canva magic studio. Now, we're gonna be working specifically with the design studio for presentations.

39

00:09:28.890 --> 00:09:49.190

Kevin Kaeser: But as we do our live demo. You're gonna see all the pieces of magic studio together one of the cool things that saves educators. Time on canva is all of the all of the stuff minus the extra content is is already inside. It's baked inside. I can generate an AI image

40

00:09:49.220 --> 00:10:11.620

Kevin Kaeser: right in canva. I have a whole bunch of elements that are free for me to use in the educator version. Right in canva. I can. I can easy theme changing so there's so much magic available that it. It just makes our job a lot easier. And then we can take all that save time, and do so much more with our students with it.

41

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:21.820

Kevin Kaeser: And so that's that's amazing to me. Now, what are some limitations? I I wish I could tell you that you can say give me a good presentation and canvas, says Tada.

42

00:10:21.870 --> 00:10:40.270

Kevin Kaeser: but it it it it kind of says tough. And then, so that the dial is up to you. So it. It's it's designed to be a starting block. Sometimes it gives really good information. I've prompted it like I don't know. 50, 60 times with different stuff to try to test.

43

00:10:40.370 --> 00:11:01.789

Kevin Kaeser: How long should the prompt be? How short can the prompt be? I figured out that the prompt can only be 30 words if you try to go beyond 30 words. It doesn't do a good job. Also, if you try to cram a lot of stuff in there. It tries really hard to please you, but ends up ends up being a child that has, like 9 different things, all of which are not really uniformly related.

44

00:11:02.126 --> 00:11:30.869

Kevin Kaeser: And canva tries to do something. It tries to take one of its educational templates, and it tries to fit what you've asked it to generate onto that template. So sometimes, if the template had like someone's name and number, it will hallucinate Jim, Don Jim. Don 551-21-2345 and you know we just gotta be a good shopper right there and shop for the stuff we want, and then delete the stuff we do not want.

45

00:11:31.410 --> 00:11:32.556

Kevin Kaeser: All right.

46

00:11:33.380 --> 00:11:36.749

Kevin Kaeser: And once again talking about

47

00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:40.360

Kevin Kaeser: this is going to save us time. But what are we going to do

48

00:11:40.390 --> 00:11:47.090

Kevin Kaeser: with that time? Right? It. It reminds me of a story. Way back in the day.

49

00:11:47.909 --> 00:11:56.089

Kevin Kaeser: When all of a sudden Google forms could automatically grade multiple choice questions. First of all, I did a happy dance.

50

00:11:56.170 --> 00:11:59.239

Kevin Kaeser: Secondly, what I did is, I said, hold up.

51

00:11:59.400 --> 00:12:01.660

Kevin Kaeser: I'm not grading 900 papers.

52

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:21.580

Kevin Kaeser: What can I do? And our department was struggling with what's our purpose? What's our voice? So what we did is said, Hey, let's help English teachers cause I was a social studies teacher. That's what I did for 2020 years as taught social studies. And so I was able to incorporate more writing for my students because

53

00:12:21.790 --> 00:12:50.130

Kevin Kaeser: I I was able to save so much time. So that's something. I hope that I hope to leave you with today is whatever time you save. Besides going alright presentation done, we can say, Hey, how can I reinvest this time to make my students learning experience even better, like, create more learning and targeted presentations create, bespoke images, real world examples, and differentiate the slides for different audiences.

54

00:12:50.600 --> 00:13:15.580

Amanda Bickerstaff: That's great, and I'll just jump into Kevin just really quickly, before we go on to the. If you don't mind going back up, I think that you know what we see a lot is that this idea of what we see happen is that you're like, okay, I can do what I always do, and I could do with AI. I could do it faster. And so what we always suggest, if you've been into our webinars or some of our our in person events. Is that the idea of like, where would you commonly want to get to? And then now take

55

00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:40.570

Amanda Bickerstaff: 10 steps forward, and so all of the things you wish you could have done, or that, you know, will engage your students, or even maybe experiment, and like, go a little bit wild. And so, you know, one of the things I think is really exciting is that something like a canva magic or other tools is that you're gonna be able to build, not just good, but better. And I think our ultimate goal is like, we do want school to be better for students and teachers. And so if we can save you 2 to 3 h

56

00:13:40.570 --> 00:14:08.469

Amanda Bickerstaff: hours of time doesn't mean necessarily some of that time. You just need to get back. We we know that you are. If you're an educator, you are under the pump all the time, so we're not saying necessarily. It's gotta be a one to one. But what now can we do to actually extend that ability to engage students? Because let's be honest, we've all been part of a presentation that has been a little bit boring, or a lot of bit boring that has been there for like, who's been to seen one that's been 15 years the same Powerpoint, the same.

57

00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:08.850

Kevin Kaeser: Read the.

58

00:14:08.850 --> 00:14:32.920

Amanda Bickerstaff: You know the San Sarah, for you know the time zoom Roman, and it's got only text like this is an opportunity to actually think about like, how do I update and create that? And what's really cool is that it was in a we did a session last week in a in a district, and what I showed them something we'll look at later, which is called ideogram, which is image generator. And the first thing one of the the teachers said, was I wanna go back to all my presentations and just make them more fun.

59

00:14:32.920 --> 00:14:43.000

Amanda Bickerstaff: and like his his in his engagement in that moment, I think, is what we want you all to experience. And hopefully you find some creativity, some spark here as well, because there's so many cool things that you can do.

60

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.590

Kevin Kaeser: Absolutely

61

00:14:46.070 --> 00:14:51.310

Kevin Kaeser: alright. So we are going to get into some demonstrations.

62

00:14:51.530 --> 00:15:18.219

Kevin Kaeser: So I really love the AI for education's prompt library. in preparing for this, I saw how many cool things there are there. So I've I've I've used an already excellent existing prompt for creating Google slides. And I'm going to switch my share so that I can share my web browser to get into this presentation. Just give me one moment.

63

00:15:18.610 --> 00:15:41.639

Amanda Bickerstaff: And we're gonna share. So everyone. So we did a massive massive update to our prompt library, which is really exciting. So if you saw yesterday, we did a full update of our 100 prompts. And so they're all been updated with research and best practice. And we actually changed the slide one to say, not slides, but slide content. For this reason, because I think people thought you just go magic.

64

00:15:41.640 --> 00:16:04.020

Amanda Bickerstaff: And what we had to do is actually like using a chat bot like Chat Gbt or Claude like you can use our prompt to actually get the content that you put into the slides, which is really great. So I think we have our slide prompt, which I'll share. But you haven't. You have an example which I'll put into the chat as well, so everyone can follow along. If you want to do this live cause we love it. When you engineer.

65

00:16:04.020 --> 00:16:05.212

Kevin Kaeser: Yes, let me

66

00:16:06.150 --> 00:16:08.629

Kevin Kaeser: Let me just grab that from the chat.

67

00:16:08.630 --> 00:16:09.220

Amanda Bickerstaff: Perfect, and.

68

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:12.629

Kevin Kaeser: I'll do it. Live here when I see when I see it come down.

69

00:16:14.520 --> 00:16:17.780

Amanda Bickerstaff: Great. So you're gonna drop that into chat and then I'll put the prompt library.

70

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:29.409

Amanda Bickerstaff: hey, everyone. So we're gonna drop that in. And then here's our slide.

71

00:16:31.890 --> 00:16:35.509

Kevin Kaeser: I will make this a brand new chat right here.

72

00:16:40.090 --> 00:16:42.689

Kevin Kaeser: Alright. So we're using.

73

00:16:43.790 --> 00:17:10.670

Kevin Kaeser: well, I I don't have a having a favorite movie and a favorite chat bot are are the same for me. Besides, dune is my favorite movie. My favorite chat bot varies and I. I'm just been a fan of Gpt for so long. It's like Gpt talking about you and me. So we're just using Gpt. Why are we doing this? We're doing this for a baseline, because when we get our 7 slides from canvas magic

74

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:30.709

Kevin Kaeser: they might have some great stuff, and they might have some stuff that's missing, and this is, gonna give me an opportunity to use magic right? To be able to make a slide on the spot and then just have magic. Write, write it for me, and that's what we're gonna that's what we're gonna discover. Alright. And you, Amanda, you're seeing what I'm sharing right.

75

00:17:32.050 --> 00:17:37.300

Amanda Bickerstaff: Yes, I have. You might want to make it slightly if you can make it a little bit bigger, so people can see the resolution.

76

00:17:37.510 --> 00:17:38.380

Kevin Kaeser: How's that?

77

00:17:38.650 --> 00:17:40.130

Amanda Bickerstaff: Perfect, amazing.

78

00:17:40.210 --> 00:18:08.579

Kevin Kaeser: Okay? So and now we're gonna go to canva if you haven't signed up for canva yet. Canva has a free for educators piece, and it's also free for all schools. If your school hasn't signed up to become canva magic I would recommend highly. They do that. It's a free process and you'll also be able to do a single sign on. So shout out to Canva.

79

00:18:08.590 --> 00:18:12.010

Kevin Kaeser: alright, so I'm just going to click

80

00:18:12.300 --> 00:18:34.910

Kevin Kaeser: education presentation. Now I have my Gpt right here, and I'm gonna be coming back to this to kind of give me a baseline now. I wish I could tell you I'm a geologist. I am not a geologist. But but we're gonna we're gonna work out. We're gonna work it out. Okay, so I'm gonna create a blank presentation. And see here.

81

00:18:36.260 --> 00:18:38.720

Kevin Kaeser: you can see that.

82

00:18:40.020 --> 00:18:41.700

Kevin Kaeser: We are going to.

83

00:18:41.860 --> 00:18:45.289

Amanda Bickerstaff: It's a little bit slow, Kevin, so we can't we? We just see a blank page right now. You might.

84

00:18:45.290 --> 00:18:49.249

Kevin Kaeser: Oh, I have to. I have to go back. I apologize. Thank you.

85

00:18:49.748 --> 00:19:08.650

Kevin Kaeser: You can see that instead of putting in the prompt this large piece we are going to reduce it to specific subject. We're going to present and the grade we're going to present it to. So when I do this, you'll see me do play tectonics for sixth grade.

86

00:19:09.230 --> 00:19:11.199

Kevin Kaeser: Alright. Now I'm going to switch back

87

00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:21.670

Kevin Kaeser: alright. So when I click up here you can see I already said, education, presentation. You can leave that in there, I think that helps it.

88

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:28.129

Kevin Kaeser: I put plate tectonics for sixth grade, and if I just press the enter key here.

89

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:34.860

Kevin Kaeser: I'm gonna see if I can zoom in, because you're probably having a hard time, seeing that.

90

00:19:35.170 --> 00:19:36.009

Amanda Bickerstaff: There you go! That's fine!

91

00:19:36.010 --> 00:19:37.530

Kevin Kaeser: Is that a little better? Yep.

92

00:19:37.770 --> 00:19:49.350

Kevin Kaeser: okay. Now, I want to draw your attention to a couple of things. Thing one. Here is the magic design these these 2 plus if I click see? All right here, I'm going to see 6 more.

93

00:19:49.440 --> 00:20:17.360

Kevin Kaeser: Alright. Those are the canvas educational platform templates into whatever we put in for its AI to chew on. Okay, now, I want you to notice, and I chose plate tectonics for this. There are some Edu presentations already made, and this one is a wonderful presentation on plate tectonics. So we could just say, Hey, we we done

94

00:20:17.550 --> 00:20:38.310

Kevin Kaeser: right. And and that's it. We're not gonna say that. But I mean, it's a pretty great presentation on plate tectonics. But that's not why we're here. But one thing I would like you to think about as your as you're creating is did canvas keyword search in all of its presentations? Did it find something that you really like.

95

00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:47.559

Kevin Kaeser: because that's usually how I approach canva is I go, hey? I like that. How can I improve it? And then add my own spin to it.

96

00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:55.590

Kevin Kaeser: Today, we're gonna focus on this magic design piece. So we're gonna click, see all. And what we're gonna see

97

00:20:56.300 --> 00:21:03.459

Kevin Kaeser: is we are going to see the 6 different presentations that it's made on plate tectonics.

98

00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:27.060

Kevin Kaeser: and all 6 of these have a little different template. So some of them like you're seeing. It's cycle through this one, for example, has true false questions. So here's what I can do. Thing one. I can click apply all 7 pages, and it just replaces what I had with the this presentation.

99

00:21:27.430 --> 00:21:34.400

Kevin Kaeser: Alright. And then I can. I can go key by. I can go slide by slide to say, Okay.

100

00:21:35.703 --> 00:21:45.309

Kevin Kaeser: is, is, is this what I was looking for? Do did I want key points about the presentation? And then this is a question and answer piece.

101

00:21:45.390 --> 00:21:57.960

Kevin Kaeser: so I can say, you know what? That's that's really not what I'm looking for. Okay, I can go back here and I can go. Okay, let's let's view another one. So the next thing I do is I spend some time.

102

00:21:58.010 --> 00:22:00.559

Kevin Kaeser: see? Going through these templates

103

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.750

Kevin Kaeser: to see which one wins for me now.

104

00:22:04.850 --> 00:22:25.529

Kevin Kaeser: It doesn't mean that I can't use pieces of all of them, but, as you can see, they are designed quite differently. S. But that's the great thing about canva. Right? I I can go here, and I can choose a different background color. And I can choose a different graphic and have a totally different feel. For that presentation.

105

00:22:25.870 --> 00:22:28.740

Kevin Kaeser: So. But let me go back.

106

00:22:31.630 --> 00:22:35.782

Kevin Kaeser: there we go! You can see that this one has

107

00:22:38.040 --> 00:22:50.070

Kevin Kaeser: th! This text might be a little too small. I might want to look at that. So the the first thing that I do when I am shopping for my presentation is to see to see which one has

108

00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:52.479

Kevin Kaeser: has my has them, has my Mojo.

109

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:55.600

Kevin Kaeser: And to figure out like, okay.

110

00:22:55.650 --> 00:23:17.074

Kevin Kaeser: this is definitely, because when I when I look at this presentation, I start to think about earthquake sirens and seismographs, it's very like 19 seventies, let's get them into a folder and solve some science kind of a thing. And so this is the one that I'm gonna say, you know what I I can. I can work with this.

111

00:23:18.111 --> 00:23:28.459

Kevin Kaeser: tectonic tales. Way to go. AI, you you you impressed me with tectonic tales. So maybe this is this will be our winner.

112

00:23:28.830 --> 00:23:36.659

Kevin Kaeser: Okay, now, what's next? Well, what's next is we need to go and say, Okay, this has some facts about

113

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:46.169

Kevin Kaeser: tectonics. It's got some types of boundaries. But it doesn't say anything about types of boundaries, because the next slide you can tell is

114

00:23:47.650 --> 00:23:50.959

Kevin Kaeser: almost every one of these slides is an intro

115

00:23:51.040 --> 00:23:59.210

Kevin Kaeser: to a presentation. Right? So this is where your sweat equity is gonna come in is you're gonna say, okay.

116

00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:09.720

Kevin Kaeser: I really want this was important to me. Types of plate boundaries. So I'm going to copy this slide because I really like this slide.

117

00:24:11.090 --> 00:24:13.079

Kevin Kaeser: And I'm going to

118

00:24:16.100 --> 00:24:16.960

Kevin Kaeser: oops.

119

00:24:21.210 --> 00:24:24.910

Kevin Kaeser: I'm gonna I'm gonna take this. And I'm going to. Oh, okay, now, I'm gonna

120

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.590

Kevin Kaeser: apparently not types of plate boundaries.

121

00:24:31.470 --> 00:24:34.990

Kevin Kaeser: you know, spelling boundaries live is super great.

122

00:24:35.770 --> 00:24:40.870

Amanda Bickerstaff: I will say that I didn't realize that I would be typing so much in front of people with this work like.

123

00:24:40.870 --> 00:24:41.390

Kevin Kaeser: Yeah, so.

124

00:24:41.390 --> 00:24:45.360

Amanda Bickerstaff: I'm being judged on my typing and spelling ability almost daily now.

125

00:24:46.170 --> 00:25:01.420

Kevin Kaeser: Okay. So now I have this types of plate boundaries. And and so I'm gonna start to deconstruct this cause. I really like this piece. But now I want to be able to expand because I want to know about different types of plate boundaries. So I click magic right?

126

00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:08.609

Kevin Kaeser: And I say, continue writing. Now, notice I have summarized, make it smaller. I have rewrite.

127

00:25:08.650 --> 00:25:24.790

Kevin Kaeser: I have more fun my favorite part is is not more formal. It is sprinkle fairy dust, because when you sprinkle fairy dust canvas imagination takes over so we're just gonna say, continue writing, cause what that's gonna do for us

128

00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:27.250

Kevin Kaeser: is create

129

00:25:28.470 --> 00:25:31.970

Kevin Kaeser: plate boundaries. Now, Whoa! This was wonderful.

130

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.809

Kevin Kaeser: right? But too much.

131

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.120

Kevin Kaeser: So I'm going to. I'm going to select this text.

132

00:25:37.260 --> 00:25:41.600

Kevin Kaeser: and I'm going to. Oh, now I have to click it again. I have to click the box again.

133

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.910

Kevin Kaeser: and I'm gonna say, you know what? That was too much. How about a summary of this.

134

00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:49.339

Kevin Kaeser: That's much better. That's what I was looking for.

135

00:25:49.470 --> 00:25:52.570

Kevin Kaeser: And so now now we just do some

136

00:25:52.580 --> 00:25:53.930

Kevin Kaeser: improvements.

137

00:25:57.070 --> 00:26:12.570

Amanda Bickerstaff: And this might be also so magic, right like, will give you this something like this. So of course, we want you to double check. But you could also like, based on this. You can then have it be like extended through Chat, Gbt, or Clot, or another thing, but you can see how what Kevin's done is like.

138

00:26:12.570 --> 00:26:32.629

Amanda Bickerstaff: It's it's not saying that we're gonna build you. You could build a Powerpoint in like a minute, right? But instead of this. What we're doing is now we're creating something that's like really high value. We're still gonna be able to do this. And under, you know, 20 min, 15 min, and as you get better at these tools, it'll become even easier to do so. But we can start to do is start to like.

139

00:26:32.630 --> 00:26:41.010

Amanda Bickerstaff: identify these areas in which you can speed up the process and then create something that you feel like will be more appropriate for your classroom.

140

00:26:41.010 --> 00:26:45.729

Kevin Kaeser: Absolutely. And and basically if we just.

141

00:26:46.290 --> 00:27:02.700

Kevin Kaeser: Wenston repeated. Right? If we went back to chat Gpt and said, Okay, hey, there's our plate boundaries fantastic! Oh, wait! Here's the virgin boundaries and conversion boundaries! Oh, do I need to go back and do some more with that or not? And then. Oh, transform boundaries!

142

00:27:03.201 --> 00:27:11.589

Kevin Kaeser: That man! I don't think transform boundaries. Oh, they were. They're right there. So so I'm double checking my work. Now.

143

00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:32.250

Kevin Kaeser: there's here's another one. I I would like to see plate tectonics natural now, could I copy and paste from Chat Gpt right here, too. Yes, that's another option right? I could have just copied and pasted right here. I wanted to demonstrate the use of magic right here so that you could

144

00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:37.960

Kevin Kaeser: be able to expand your ideas that way. Now.

145

00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:40.900

Kevin Kaeser: we could also go to

146

00:27:41.710 --> 00:27:43.239

Kevin Kaeser: magic media.

147

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:45.899

Kevin Kaeser: Let's say, we want to see.

148

00:27:50.450 --> 00:27:52.670

Kevin Kaeser: Okay, thank you. Google.

149

00:27:52.690 --> 00:28:05.059

Kevin Kaeser: not continental drift. Let's so if you haven't ever used this tool, this is canvas AI image generator, all right. And so we're gonna generate.

150

00:28:05.615 --> 00:28:21.949

Kevin Kaeser: This. Now, I I can't wait to see Amanda's image generator. I she she talked. She talked about it. But I didn't get to play a lot with it. My students. In a in a literature class, they have to present a novel.

151

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:33.059

Kevin Kaeser: Oh, I do love that. So I'm actually gonna make. I would make a new slide here, cause I wanna highlight that image. So let me see if I have a good

152

00:28:33.620 --> 00:28:35.140

Kevin Kaeser: I kind of treat.

153

00:28:35.210 --> 00:28:48.850

Kevin Kaeser: I treat this presentation as like colors on a palette. And I go, hey! I like this, this and this. This helped me create a cohesive design without me having to go. Oh, man, what am I gonna do?

154

00:28:48.870 --> 00:28:53.269

Kevin Kaeser: And now I'll take one of my folders. Oh, that one would be great!

155

00:28:53.370 --> 00:28:55.460

Kevin Kaeser: Alright! I'm going to duplicate this page.

156

00:28:56.150 --> 00:29:00.129

Kevin Kaeser: and I'm going to add this drift piece right in here.

157

00:29:00.170 --> 00:29:02.249

Kevin Kaeser: and then I'm going to

158

00:29:10.970 --> 00:29:15.129

Kevin Kaeser: oh, you know what this was already about shifting continents. So that's great

159

00:29:16.810 --> 00:29:23.782

Kevin Kaeser: if we're keeping score at home. I still have to re readjust the the placement of these slides.

160

00:29:24.580 --> 00:29:43.579

Kevin Kaeser: But I what I wanted to do here is just to show you a couple of the ways that you can really reduce the time that it's gonna take you to create. Now, we could keep rinsing and repeating. But I I think right here we've we've we've reached the extent that the last thing I want to show you is you can go back to the well

161

00:29:44.020 --> 00:30:02.230

Kevin Kaeser: alright. So we're gonna go back up to design. In design is where right here in the design slide. This is where all their this is where that magic design lives. So if I wanted to, and I wanted to just talk about

162

00:30:02.773 --> 00:30:06.130

Kevin Kaeser: continental drift, we'll just use that as our example.

163

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:13.880

Kevin Kaeser: I could just

164

00:30:14.260 --> 00:30:16.350

Kevin Kaeser: oh, Continental drift.

165

00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:18.250

Kevin Kaeser: geography!

166

00:30:21.770 --> 00:30:28.010

Amanda Bickerstaff: So, Ayana, ask a question, could you build infographic? So yeah, so on canva. They also have infographics that you can.

167

00:30:28.010 --> 00:30:28.490

Kevin Kaeser: Yes.

168

00:30:28.490 --> 00:30:50.430

Amanda Bickerstaff: Templates, and then also build the content for it through magic. AI. Build some of the images for the the animations like there are like that's in. That's something that I think is in a work in progress, right? Ca, like Kevin. So you'll have to add, James but, like again, we can add those back in absolutely.

169

00:30:51.580 --> 00:30:52.793

Kevin Kaeser: Yeah, and

170

00:30:54.411 --> 00:31:01.589

Kevin Kaeser: here's I was gonna try. Let let me go back to Gpt. Oh, that's what I wanted. Tectonics and natural disasters.

171

00:31:02.030 --> 00:31:05.080

Kevin Kaeser: We can let me do one more thing here.

172

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:07.150

Kevin Kaeser: Excellent.

173

00:31:09.050 --> 00:31:17.379

Kevin Kaeser: alright. So the mistake I made about 45 times when when playing with this is, I wanted to go back to the well

174

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:18.489

Kevin Kaeser: to kind of

175

00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:29.969

Kevin Kaeser: see some more AI designed slides. And I wanted to go. AI design slides within AI design slides. And and and so

176

00:31:30.390 --> 00:31:37.009

Kevin Kaeser: the only thing I'm gonna tell you about is if you do that, don't click this button.

177

00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:39.430

Kevin Kaeser: because if you click this button.

178

00:31:39.490 --> 00:31:49.809

Kevin Kaeser: It's gonna up. It's gonna erase all of the work that you've done or okay, the work that you've done, it's gonna erase what you've currently done so. If you do want some of these pieces.

179

00:31:49.940 --> 00:31:51.190

Kevin Kaeser: click the plus button.

180

00:31:51.320 --> 00:31:54.469

Kevin Kaeser: and it'll ask if you want to add a new page or replace current.

181

00:31:54.620 --> 00:31:55.250

Kevin Kaeser: Now,

182

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.130

Kevin Kaeser: And and now I have that, and I

183

00:31:58.260 --> 00:32:18.069

Kevin Kaeser: I can shift it. I can. I'm gonna have to make it right. You saw that it created a different theme. Right it it did not play nice and say, I I wish but that's a wish list for me is that when when we're doing this that it would be like, Hey, there's a theme going on. I'm gonna switch to that. No, no, you're the theme.

184

00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:24.500

Kevin Kaeser: So I would take this. I would. I think I think, if I make that happy orange. Yeah, that's that's gonna be a little better.

185

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:25.300

Amanda Bickerstaff: I made the.

186

00:32:25.570 --> 00:32:45.590

Kevin Kaeser: Yeah. So I wanted to show you that you can still go back and get more specific and redesign. I don't know how much that would necessarily save you when magic design can do a lot of writing, and then when you can go back to Chat Gpt or your AI of choice to be able to write that

187

00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:49.970

Kevin Kaeser: But that is the basics of this magic design.

188

00:32:50.510 --> 00:33:03.229

Amanda Bickerstaff: Yeah. And so like, let's just like highlight a couple of things. So just as a kind of a recap. And so what you can do is one of 2 things. You can use the entire magic design to build your whole 7 part you know,

189

00:33:03.790 --> 00:33:28.469

Amanda Bickerstaff: template, which is going to have that information. You can vibe our our kind of remix, an existing example which you can then change and update, or or and what you can do also is you can kind of create your brand new one as well, and then use the things like magic, right and magic image and magic video to be able to do, to create it bespoke for you as you go. So there really is kind of like an endless possibility here

190

00:33:28.470 --> 00:33:58.370

Amanda Bickerstaff: in terms of what's your best flow? And I think that this is a part of like getting like comfortable, and starting to understand, like, what? What are your like things that you do really? Well. So maybe you wanna write everything because you are such a good targeted writer. But what you are terrible at is creating bespoke branded slides. So I will talk about that for myself. We have a very nice branding that, like Dan on our team is done a beautiful job, but essentially it's all come from canva where we picked it, and then we don't really use

191

00:33:58.670 --> 00:34:22.949

Amanda Bickerstaff: the magic pieces for the content. But we do use it for building images. So Amanda Dupreece and I team does a great job of building like the images that we saw earlier. They all of our robots are built with it with a image generator. And so what we do is we infuse this idea of generate AI as as much as possible what we need. But you might be the opposite where you're so good at design.

192

00:34:22.949 --> 00:34:47.790

Amanda Bickerstaff: but sometimes hard to create content. That's really engaging for your students. And so that's what we really like to get into. So actually, Kevin, if you can give that back to me, I'm gonna show everyone to other tools that might help you with this and so Susan and others like you can use co-pilot if you have copilot from the school like, if your school has co-pilot licenses. They do have an extension within drive. I start drive within.

193

00:34:47.790 --> 00:35:12.659

Amanda Bickerstaff: And Microsoft 365, including Powerpoints, is like, okay, not great. But it absolutely is a start. I would say that right now we always have to remember that generate Guy is the worse it's ever going to be. It's still very new. When Kevin was showing you that you it doesn't change the template automatically. I would bet that's coming in the next couple of months that eventually you'll be able to do that. And so, for you know, Joe, just another point. Joy asked about

194

00:35:12.660 --> 00:35:26.952

Amanda Bickerstaff: fact checking content. We always want you to fact, check content. So please do that. But one of the ways that you can potentially do this and actually drive something that is like really important is you can start to use exactly. Lauren already knows Lauren's.

195

00:35:27.558 --> 00:35:52.240

Amanda Bickerstaff: we already got it. So we're gonna use perplexity, which is just perplexity.com, which is something called so. What we were just looking at is like an AI plus generative media and Co and writing tool. What we're gonna look at right now is actually like something called generative search and generative search is combining the amazing components of you know, like Google and your ability to search well with generative action. So I I can only

196

00:35:52.240 --> 00:36:15.640

Amanda Bickerstaff: let me see we're in front of my bar. So there we go. So this is perplexity. And we can drop this into the channel. It's just perplexity.ai, if you haven't used it, get ready to have some some really awesome pieces. So it's free, absolutely and so here we go. We have where your knowledge begins. And so what I can do is I can say, what are like.

197

00:36:15.640 --> 00:36:20.200

Amanda Bickerstaff: what are the most important misconceptions

198

00:36:20.350 --> 00:36:22.420

Amanda Bickerstaff: about plate tectonics?

199

00:36:24.149 --> 00:36:48.500

Amanda Bickerstaff: And we know that misconception science teacher, let's do this. And so what I'm gonna do is, I could just put that into Google right. And what I would get is a whole bunch of resources. But what I get now is here we go. It's given me both the resources, including some videos, images, and other pieces. But what it said is, it's right written me also the content. So the most important, and misconceptions about play, tectonics that only continents move.

200

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:59.830

Amanda Bickerstaff: that misconception, that divergent oceans, ridges are due to vertical uplift or convergence rather than divergence, and the idea that Pre, that present oceans only began as Pangua broke apart. Oh, those are really interesting ones, right?

201

00:36:59.870 --> 00:37:16.609

Amanda Bickerstaff: And so what we could do, though, is like I might be not super sure about that. So now I can actually go and double check my resources. And so that's a way you can do this. And so here we see some. Really, this is really great. In terms of this. We have some other options here. Like plate to easier to address

202

00:37:17.180 --> 00:37:42.120

Amanda Bickerstaff: earth, science, misconceptions perfect, and what I can do is I can double check this. But what's really awesome is that now I can also look for images, and so maybe there's some you could. If you're talking about Pangea, or the way that's moved, you can look at that. You've got your things like ridges. You've got videos, too. There might be a great video on play tectonics that you might wanna use. And this is still a pretty new tool. So it's being developed as well. So it's not gonna be

203

00:37:42.120 --> 00:38:05.110

Amanda Bickerstaff: be as robust as Google. So if you expected to have the whole Google approach, it won't have that. But it's a really great way to start your research and to start getting these great ideas, instead of having to do the old way where you would have to go and open every single, you know you put in a search term. You'd have to open every piece and then come back to it. So we love this as an toll, a tool, and what you can do again is follow up is

204

00:38:05.545 --> 00:38:07.720

Amanda Bickerstaff: what are the most important?

205

00:38:08.552 --> 00:38:10.299

Amanda Bickerstaff: You know, fax.

206

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.190

Amanda Bickerstaff: that students in Grade

207

00:38:13.330 --> 00:38:15.520

Amanda Bickerstaff: 6 should know

208

00:38:15.560 --> 00:38:16.850

Amanda Bickerstaff: about

209

00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:18.340

Amanda Bickerstaff: play tectonics.

210

00:38:18.810 --> 00:38:35.150

Amanda Bickerstaff: And this is where to? Someone asked earlier about the idea of can you connect it to a curriculum. You can now ask it for the Uk curriculum or the Ngss. But here you can do is that this? They don't understand these conceptions, and then you can even say, Now format this in bullets.

211

00:38:35.310 --> 00:39:00.190

Amanda Bickerstaff: and so I can do this. And now look at this. I have something that can be vetted, of course, always with those double checking, but I can also add it as bullets. I can rewrite it, I can share it, etc. So another example of like pulling everything together that is going to hypercharge your ability to create really good slides. So the next one I'm going to show you is to idiogram. And so this is my favorite thing lately, and I'll show you guys a couple of images that we've done

212

00:39:00.190 --> 00:39:24.949

Amanda Bickerstaff: cause they're hysterical and so I always like to do this so we've got from last week we've got shout out to some of the schools I was in in districts last week, so we have everything from I used it for our Women's Day Post. This is Leonia, which is a district we're out Monday. This is a cat dancing, but this is my favorite. This is, there's a copyright issue here, everyone. So this one was against copyrighted

213

00:39:24.950 --> 00:39:26.560

Amanda Bickerstaff: copyright protections. But it is.

214

00:39:27.160 --> 00:39:30.149

Amanda Bickerstaff: It is a batman eating Bill Parmesan.

215

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:47.799

Amanda Bickerstaff: because that's how you eat, Phil Parmesan in front of a fire. And so we we get a little bit while. But we also did things like we were able to create an image, for they're having an Annie production. It? Said Taco. We've got kind of fun things where they we love this idea of like a creative writing prompt. So we have

216

00:39:48.420 --> 00:40:03.080

Amanda Bickerstaff: scrolls on on scrolls on the moon hanging out in a playground. And so these are really cool examples of where you can start to. In this case we they have their school was tigers. And so we're looking at. Maybe we could create something that's like

217

00:40:03.080 --> 00:40:26.309

Amanda Bickerstaff: for a younger class. We can have tigers be supportive of language learning. In this case, the Abcs. And so it's gonna be not perfect. But you can see how you can start to create some bespoke images that you can do in canva. But the nice thing about this is that you can start to get a more fine tuned approach. So you get 25 prompts. That's 4 images per. So you have a hundred free images a day, which is pretty amazing.

218

00:40:26.310 --> 00:40:35.139

Amanda Bickerstaff: You can pick the ratio like you can have it be. Probably ours are public. But you can do photo illustration whatever. So now, if I want to do

219

00:40:35.870 --> 00:40:37.310

Amanda Bickerstaff: you know, create

220

00:40:37.650 --> 00:40:39.830

Amanda Bickerstaff: an image for a

221

00:40:40.710 --> 00:40:50.669

Amanda Bickerstaff: of sorry I can't. Let's let's I can't see anything because you're there. Yeah, for a for play, Tecton, a lesson on play, tectonics

222

00:40:51.060 --> 00:40:54.101

Amanda Bickerstaff: that focuses on how, on

223

00:40:55.080 --> 00:40:56.800

Amanda Bickerstaff: on Pansia.

224

00:40:57.260 --> 00:41:16.840

Amanda Bickerstaff: So we can do that we could use a photo illustration. You can do typography. We're just gonna do. We're gonna just go generate. And what it's gonna do is if you've used. You know, chat Ubt and others are going to be image. They're gonna be next word projectors something like this going to be a next pixel projector. So you see how it's blurry.

225

00:41:17.130 --> 00:41:38.980

Amanda Bickerstaff: What it has is it actually is that it's building this image, Pixel, by Pixel. And because Panga is pretty common, we should be able to see something that like is either wildly wrong, like this kind of funny, or in these cases maybe not perfect. But how amazing is it to potentially put in a fake Panga, and then have your students have to identify that it's not real.

226

00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:39.850

Kevin Kaeser: That's cool.

227

00:41:39.850 --> 00:42:04.830

Amanda Bickerstaff: And so, like, you know, there's some ways to really start to use this where, even though they're not right, do your students pick it up? Do they see the misconception? Can you ask them to look at this image and identify what's wrong? Or how did now they're gonna take this and do their own version of this. But you see how you can start to think about these technologies and like the ways in which you can pull them together. So we have Camba magic. You've got all of these amazing things exactly, Lauren.

228

00:42:04.830 --> 00:42:27.159

Amanda Bickerstaff: like the idea of like responsible AI. It's going to mess up, lean into the mess up and have your kids become critical users of this. And so, while there are so many great opportunities to start thinking about this. And like we've had so many great tools being shared, we wanted to give you guys a base of understanding of how to get going. And there was a really good comment in the piece around compliance.

229

00:42:27.490 --> 00:42:40.390

Amanda Bickerstaff: And so you know the idea, Natalie, Natalie was talking about how these tools aren't potentially compliant with Ada, so doing that extra work, especially when you think about this presentations and ensuring that you have all text

230

00:42:40.390 --> 00:42:51.463

Amanda Bickerstaff: you have, you know those you have different types of contrast. That's important, or even that we talked about differentiation. What you can also do is you can also have some of these

231

00:42:51.780 --> 00:43:10.559

Amanda Bickerstaff: these pieces go to text, to image or image to text, so that students are that are going to have special needs, get a little bit more support. So what I would say is like, it's really up to you. And and Mariana asked us a question so you could do 6 grade plate tatonics, but you could also do like advanced like college level biology course. What we would suggest is

232

00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:13.870

Amanda Bickerstaff: Marianna. You probably need to bring the content a bit more.

233

00:43:14.020 --> 00:43:39.760

Amanda Bickerstaff: But the imagery, the the use of different tools, like the ability to say, create something bespoke is actually really up to. That's where you could start to use that technology. But as we go back to that original comment, that first slide is that you're the expert, right? So you bring your special sauce. Whether that's a knowledge. PC, you know, pedagogical knowledge, all those things. And then you bring that in, and then you use the tools around that to augment and enhance.

234

00:43:40.326 --> 00:43:54.210

Amanda Bickerstaff: I know that you wanted to show one more tool, which is brisk, which is a freemium tool. So we have a we've had brisk on a webinar before around form of assessment. So this is also a really great opportunity to look at something that is going to be free. Ish.

235

00:43:55.520 --> 00:43:57.319

Kevin Kaeser: All right, let me

236

00:43:57.530 --> 00:43:59.270

Kevin Kaeser: get that going.

237

00:44:01.085 --> 00:44:16.779

Kevin Kaeser: someone did ask about accessibility, and there is. Now this is, I think it's developing. So I'm not saying that it's perfect. But there is a check design, accessibility feature that canva has. But let's let's really quick talk about risk.

238

00:44:17.335 --> 00:44:25.650

Kevin Kaeser: It does make me want to drink some tea. So okay, so brisk. Now let's see, I've I've moved

239

00:44:26.040 --> 00:44:28.189

Kevin Kaeser: risk education.

240

00:44:28.980 --> 00:44:34.149

Kevin Kaeser: brisk teaching. Okay? So brisk is a chrome browser extension.

241

00:44:34.350 --> 00:44:36.969

Kevin Kaeser: all right, and then brisk

242

00:44:36.980 --> 00:44:51.250

Kevin Kaeser: hovers over your contact like a jealous boyfriend, and it waits for you to use it. Okay, not? Well, it's a happy person, Brisk is. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go to my Google slides. And I'm gonna go to a blank presentation.

243

00:44:52.730 --> 00:44:54.060

Kevin Kaeser: And

244

00:44:54.640 --> 00:44:59.589

Kevin Kaeser: you can see. Oh, you well, I don't know how to zoom in my screen, but in the bottom corner.

245

00:44:59.590 --> 00:45:01.430

Amanda Bickerstaff: You can actually see it pretty well. That's okay.

246

00:45:01.430 --> 00:45:05.059

Kevin Kaeser: In the bottom corner of my screen you'll see a little brisk icon.

247

00:45:05.220 --> 00:45:10.210

Kevin Kaeser: And so I'm gonna click that. And it's gonna bring up this menu

248

00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:12.720

Kevin Kaeser: and this menu has a create.

249

00:45:13.210 --> 00:45:38.099

Kevin Kaeser: and you can see that there is a bunch of things to create. Think think dip it, think magic school. It's all kind of in the same thing. The only thing that this does is it does have a add slides. So was that, what? What? Great? Well, one through 12 we'll just do. 12, and we'll do. Was that advanced biology? Should we do cell respiration?

250

00:45:39.150 --> 00:45:41.350

Kevin Kaeser: Oof! That makes me scared.

251

00:45:45.430 --> 00:45:54.890

Amanda Bickerstaff: Oh, come on, I will say that as a former biology teacher, it's always so funny. I always use like Mitosis as like my like it's like my go to. So the fact that it's scary to you is quite funny.

252

00:45:55.572 --> 00:46:16.460

Kevin Kaeser: I will tell you. As I'm doing this live demo. I asked it to tell me to create a who done it mystery for sixth graders, and it it created images and of a who stole the cookie kind of a thing. And then it had it had facts about each. It it created a a clue type game for me.

253

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:30.493

Kevin Kaeser: So we're gonna do twelfth grade. 10 slides. Notice I can do it in any language I want. So there goes my time. Saving would translate, and when I click brisket now brisket, that does sound delicious with some barbecue sauce. But

254

00:46:31.310 --> 00:46:42.140

Kevin Kaeser: When I click brisket brisk, does that AI loading for me? It creates with one of the slides, and then it starts creating

255

00:46:44.336 --> 00:46:47.539

Kevin Kaeser: what I've noticed in my in my brisks

256

00:46:47.600 --> 00:47:03.270

Kevin Kaeser: are sometimes it it does a really good job with, Okay, if I knew anything about this thing it, it does a really good job with explaining stuff. It does a pretty okay job with matching images to, we're actually wanting.

257

00:47:03.460 --> 00:47:33.460

Amanda Bickerstaff: Yeah, I would say that that it for everybody out there, like there are, that's probably one of the biggest issues is like matching images, and these are going to be images that are not necessarily created. They're going to be like those that are searched for and in included. So these are like. These are images that already exist. So I think that like that's something to consider one of caveat again. Everybody we talked about magic. This is very, very early stages. We have probably 6 months to a year before they really become significantly more usable.

258

00:47:33.460 --> 00:47:53.780

Amanda Bickerstaff: But what you can start to see is like you can start to put things together that this might have better content. And now I'm gonna use indigram or canva magic to add the images. I'm gonna use perplexity to add some of the resources, and you could still do those in much, much faster ways than you would do by opening a blank piece and then doing slide by slide.

259

00:47:53.780 --> 00:48:11.859

Kevin Kaeser: Absolutely one last selling point. With this one I can take the content I just had it make. And I can make resources like a vocab list, or I can make a quiz for it. We're not gonna go there because that's not really our, our, our jam today. But but so yeah.

260

00:48:12.040 --> 00:48:14.760

Kevin Kaeser: my! My hat's off to brisk, so.

261

00:48:15.190 --> 00:48:19.935

Amanda Bickerstaff: Awesome. And also I'll just do a shout out we have like this is, pull up the the last piece

262

00:48:20.520 --> 00:48:32.619

Amanda Bickerstaff: which is, we have some other resources. And so here we go. So we're gonna just show our last slide. And also guys, I just got a message from like down like about this could have been like

263

00:48:32.620 --> 00:48:56.849

Amanda Bickerstaff: a 2 h webinar. So we know it's short. But like we wanted to give you guys the like kind of the overview. The getting started. You gotta see kind of these tools, but there are also awesome ones, and saw this in the chat. So Gamma is another great tool that allows you to create about 20 presentations. It is not education specific, but it is really really great to get you started. We know that there are a lot of educators. Probably people that built gamma were like

264

00:48:57.060 --> 00:49:16.330

Amanda Bickerstaff: so surprise like, why do we have so many education presentations? But because we? Because educators really need them? We've got Kira pod. Our friends in the Netherlands. That have. You can create 5 lessons at a time. They also include interactive kind of Powerpoints and slides.

265

00:49:16.370 --> 00:49:41.240

Amanda Bickerstaff: Almanac is, really about to relaunch their slide generation tool. That'll allow you to differentiate within the actual like, you'll actually be able to differentiate, say, existing slides as well as add, then, diagrams, timeline, some of the stuff that like really will like enhance it. And so they're going to be launching that in a couple of weeks as well, which is really exciting, and love our female founders, so

266

00:49:41.300 --> 00:50:03.109

Amanda Bickerstaff: we say, like Lauren's been so great. Lauren, you have been so good, we'd love our our community. So thank you for sharing what I would say, though there were some questions that I think that what kind of will do is like is that right now these technologies do not have any pedagogical knowledge, and so even canva magic, or brisk, or others don't necessarily have

267

00:50:03.110 --> 00:50:13.809

Amanda Bickerstaff: any pedagogical knowledge. Brisket and others are trying to build that into the systems by the way, that they give the system their internal prompts. But so things like it might end up being

268

00:50:13.820 --> 00:50:39.689

Amanda Bickerstaff: very long or very text heavy, or it could have you know the structure that isn't pedagogically sound. So what we wanna say is that we see questions about? Is it related to the Uk curriculum and other things. Is that right now you're almost better off identifying the content that you either love, that you already have that works really, really well, and using these tools to upgrade them, to make them more punchy.

269

00:50:39.690 --> 00:51:03.609

Amanda Bickerstaff: W with rewrite, or make them have real world examples where I have this great content right? And then what I can do now is say, now make this about soccer, or now make this about, you know, fortnite, or make this about recycle fashion, or whatever, and so that you could see where you could start to take that good content. And now start to really enhance it. So that's one way. The other way is like again.

270

00:51:03.610 --> 00:51:28.090

Amanda Bickerstaff: you're the expert. So if you are, you know the Uk curriculum, you can use that also a put that into a prompt let's say, on Claude, or co-pilot, or Chat Gbt, and have that actually give you. Now slide content, and you can ask it to identify which part of the standards it's going to relate to. So you can double check that work because we always wanna double check. But I think that that's really where we wanna go, though, is that these tools

271

00:51:28.090 --> 00:51:48.770

Amanda Bickerstaff: are going to like? There's not. There's no magic bullet right now. There's not including these big models like Chat Gbt. Instead, what we have. Is this really really great opportunity to start trying, practicing and playing and making sure that this extends and re like enhances your ability to connect with kids.

272

00:51:48.820 --> 00:52:13.809

Amanda Bickerstaff: have them learn and to create things that are going to like. Let's say you add a completely ridiculous image. And then the kids have to recognize. Wait a second. Something is wrong here. We just learned about play tectonics that is definitely not Pandria, like, you know that that is to be something that is gonna be amazing piece. So what I wanna say is, if we'll take like one question or 2. If you have any questions. You can put it into the chat. But those of you that have to run we totally understand.

273

00:52:13.810 --> 00:52:24.209

Amanda Bickerstaff: and maybe just go to the next slide. We have so many cool things like that. We've done. So we've got our prompt library that we updated yesterday. Everybody welcome. Thank you, Kelly and our team.

274

00:52:24.430 --> 00:52:49.410

Amanda Bickerstaff: I spent Sunday updating our prompt library. We still have our free course, our newsletters coming out. We're gonna have our first virtual summit, which Kevin definitely is gonna have to come and hang out in on April twenty-seventh, which we'll be sharing this week. But we love you being here, we love everything. And then I just wanna say, can everyone give like Kevin, your your joy and your thanks, because it is hard to get up here in front of a group of, you know 160 people. And I, just you did a beautiful job, and we're just

275

00:52:49.410 --> 00:52:56.619

Amanda Bickerstaff: so excited to have a practitioner who cares so much about this, be able to share your knowledge. So thank you so much, Kevin, and thank you. Everyone for joining
