Title
Option 1: How to use text-to-video AI technology to create new lessons for your students
Option 2: Use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Invideo to create video lessons as a teacher.
Some reasons to use AI technology
1. I would like to understand the new AI technology
2. I would create a something (in this case a new video) with this new technology
3. I would like to share this with colleagues to disccuss if this is useful for our students or not.
4. I would like the join the conversation about the ethical aspects of IA in education
Which topic do you start with?
Inspiration is all around you. Use could your current lesson plan or curriculum for inspiration about topics.
In my case I asked some of my Mechatronics students what they study in their spare time about Engineering in general.
Which tools can you use?
ChatGPT
Step 1: I asked ChatGPT to come up with 10 examples of the topics that I am interested in. In my case Engeering constructions with brick and mortar that are more than 200 years old. Step 2: Then I asked to write a video script for a YouTube Short about 1 of the 10 examples.
Invideo.com
I gave the video script to Invideo and I asked to add video footage with the text.
Fliki.ai
I also gave the video script to Fliki to generate the voice-over. I choose an Amrican male voice, but you can chose many voices.
Some extra tools for video creation that I use that are not ‘native’-AI tools
Adobe premiere Pro
I used Adobe premiere Pro to combine the video with the voice over. Interseting fact: Premiere Pro uses AI to create Captions and Transcripts.
Adobe After Effects
Sometimes I use After Effects to creat an intro or and outro.
Elements Envato
This time I did not use After Effects but I downloaded a mogrt-file from Envato Elements that I can use in Premiere Pro.
Costs of these tool
Most of these tools have a free plan, so you can start to expriment without spending money.
Video Tips
Start creating your own image library with your own photo’s and video’s today. Shoot the video’s in and outside your own school, so your students will recognize the environment. Reminder: Always ask people in the video’s if you are allowed to publish video’s with their face visible.
Final thoughts
I think I will learn a lot from this journey and I look forward to meet colleagues and students who share the same interests.
