Germini AI generated quiz

Germini from Google (https://gemini.google.com) makes it easy to create multiple choice and true/false quizzes about a variety of topics commonly taught in school. 

All you have to do is enter a prompt like, “create a multiple choice quiz about the parts of speech” and Germini will create a multiple choice quiz and an answer key for it. 

The quiz that Germini generates can be exported to Google Docs and edited in Google Docs. 

I have input "Create 20 multiple choice questions on volcano and earthquake"


You can export the quiz to Google Docs.

I have then input "show answer"

Watch the video below to see Richard demonstrates its use. Germini used be known as Google Bard.

Eduease AI generated quiz

Eduease will generate an entire quiz from the PDFs that you upload to it.

Just like the Kahoot AI which could generate the questions based on a pdf uploaded, Eduease does so too except that only 10 questions are generated.

I have generated some questions based on plate tectonics here:

Kahoot AI generated quiz

Pleasantly surprised that Kahoot has AI built-in. You can just upload a copy of your notes in pdf and the quiz can be generated by the AI or you can simply generate the questions based on a topic.

1. Log in to your Kahoot! Account (school account for this premium feature).

2. Select “Create” and then “Kahoot” from the home screen of your user dashboard.

3. Select “Question generator” to start creating a kahoot with AI, either from a pdf file you upload or a topic which you enter.

4. Upload your pdf file or enter your topic, click continue, and watch Kahoot! AI automatically generate the most relevant questions from your pdf file or related to your chosen topic.

5. You can now preview the questions by clicking on the down arrow to view the answers. When you have found the questions you want to add to your kahoot, simply select “Add” and the question will automatically be included in your kahoot.

6. Make sure to review and edit the AI-generated questions if necessary.

This is an example of Kahoot generated by Kahoot AI from my notes on sustainable tourism development.

Using most of the questions and options generated, I made only slight changes.

Digital Art

 Posted on the use of app to create digital art. I have mentioned Prisms and Deepart app which are no longer free in my blog post in 2016.

https://ezitnew.blogspot.com/2016/11/using-mobile-app-for-art-and-chemistry.html

It is actually the early form of AI in which artificial intelligence has helped to create artistic masterpiece.

Using Varnist app, I have created 2 digital art with the stained glass and Picasso effect.

This is the original photograph I took of a hummingbird at my balcony.


Using stained glass effect.

Using Picasso effect. Love this effect and definitely one painting worth framing!

It would take me a long time if I will to paint them and Varnist actually created them in seconds. 

More awesome art from two photos I took.

AI generated video

Fascinating what AI can do nowadays. https://invideo.io/

Using AI.invideo.io, I input the prompt to create a video showcasing our PLT. 
Create a short video showing how pedagogy of play can be used in inquiry-based learning. Show a balloon pop and the words pedagogy of play appear. Students explore through inquiry-based learning in a science lesson on electrolysis. 

The online tool is free but limited to 10 mins and 4 exports/week for the free version. 


Then using capcut, I put together the videoclips - a popped balloon from istock and the lesson recording. I like capcut's autocut as it has fascinating effects but it is very short at less than 20 seconds. I have inserted the autocut clip after the balloon pop clip. As the lesson is long, I click on the clip followed by speed and increased it to 3x. I then added the audio clip which ai.invideo has generated. Really love the script and voice over that AI has generated. 
What I also like about capcut is that it can help to generate the captions. As the voice over is by AI, a perfect caption is generated without much editing!
