Quick Overview:
In this educational tutorial, the Colleague AI team introduces the Generate Interactive feature—designed to help teachers create dynamic, student-facing learning experiences in seconds. From history explorations and personal finance simulations to gamified math worksheets, this feature turns static lessons into engaging, interactive, and formative-rich activities. The walkthrough highlights how educators can prompt effectively, customize outputs, and integrate interactive tools to boost student agency and understanding.
Key Detailed Points:
Prompt-Driven Interactive Creation:
The video emphasizes the power of precise prompting to generate effective lessons. Users input detailed prompts (e.g., lesson duration, topic, specific tools like videos or maps), choose the type of interactive format, and select an engaging theme. Within moments, the platform produces a rich student-facing activity—saving time while increasing lesson quality.
Real Examples Across Subjects:
Several cross-curricular examples illustrate the tool’s flexibility:
-
History: A 90-minute exploration of world-famous cities includes learning goals, videos, timelines, and embedded Google Maps.
-
Personal Finance: Students build budgets, simulate investments, and use calculators—all interactive and visually engaging—to learn financial literacy.
From Static Lessons to Interactive Engagement:
Teachers can transform existing lesson plans into interactive versions. Using the “My Document” feature, uploaded or AI-generated lessons can be converted with one click—no prompt writing needed. The video showcases a Winnie-the-Pooh themed math lesson that includes clickable buttons, real-world problem-solving, and formative checkpoints such as exit tickets and math reflections.
Gamification and Formative Assessment Integration:
The tool supports advanced educational design, such as generating Pythagorean theorem worksheets aligned with Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels, and embedding student response fields to promote metacognition. Teachers can also create quick spiral review activities for bell ringers or interventions—either digitally or as printable worksheets.
