Are you ready to learn the art of prompting? This Google Arts and Culture experiment allows everyone to learn how to create effective prompts by practicing recreating images that increase the difficulty level. As each level begins, Say What You See provides a tip for what information to include. Use up to 120 characters to write a prompt to try recreating the provided image. Move up to different difficulty levels by starting with at least a 50% match in recreating the pictures in each level; the percentage to pass increases with each level.
In the Classroom
Use this site for both you and your students to practice writing effective prompts to create AI images. Challenge students to increase their skills by awarding digital badges for completing each level. Create digital badges using Badge List, reviewed here. This site is also an excellent resource for students to practice and refine descriptive writing skills using a small number of characters. Ask students to apply those skills to a descriptive writing activity, then paste their writing into an AI image generator such as Adobe Firefly, reviewed here or Microsoft Designer, reviewed here to view the image generated based on their text.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Pi calls itself "your personal AI." It is a chatbot designed to understand your interests, needs, and goals and provide personalized feedback. As you begin using Pi, it asks what you want to discuss and provides suggestions, such as brainstorming ideas, practicing an extensive conversation, and learning something new. After entering the main space in Pi, you are also offered several conversation starters, and a recorded daily news brief is adjusted to reflect your interests from previous discussions. Registration isn't required; however, creating an account allows you to access previous conversations, participate in longer discussions, and enable Pi to personalize responses based on those conversations. As always, when using artificial intelligence tools, verify the information is accurate.
In the Classroom
Pi's terms of service state that it is not for children under 18, so this chat tool should only be used by adults. Because Pi provides conversation ideas, it is an excellent introductory resource for learning to use AI chat generator tools. For example, use the conversation starters to discover tips to share with your students for learning a new language, find jokes for your classroom, or look for tips on focusing. Start new conversations (known as threads) to ask for ideas that support your curriculum and teaching style. An example might be, "Give me ideas for projects for my 4th-grade students to do during a unit on plants using Universal Design Learning frameworks." After viewing the response, ask additional questions to find resources, further ideas, or ways to differentiate learning for different groups of students.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
