As I have posted earlier, this past summer at the American Classical League Summer Institute, I attended Stefanie Gigante's presentation "Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Latin Teachers." I have already addressed on this blog how she demonstrated using ChatGPT and Diffit to create texts but she also showed how Canva can be used to create AI-generated images and graphics.
I decided to try this out with a bellringer. Since it was the second week of school, I wanted to do some review of vocabulary words from last year with my Latin 2 students and to get them to write the words down with definitions, so in Magic Media, I typed in the following words in English as my parameters - I also set it to "graphics":
When I pushed "generate," after a few seconds, Magic Media gave me a number of possible graphics which included visual representations of the words. Not every graphic used every word, so I had it regenerate new graphics until I found one that I liked. Below is the image, along with how it was shown for that particular day's bellringer:
On the next day, I reused that graphic for a bellringer, but now the focus was on writing sentences in Latin about the picture.
Observations
- I love how I was able to use AI to create custom-made graphics. Instead of having to search for images/graphics which would fit what I want, I can have AI create them for me!
- The more random the picture, the better I feel for an activity like this!
- Magic Media on Canva can create pictures and videos in addition to graphics.
What has been your experience in using AI to generate images/graphics?
