[M5] 4 Nov (AM) - Creative storytelling with AI – without compromising privacy

This interactive two-hour workshop invites educators to dive into hands-on creativity with AI tools that prioritize data privacy.

Hour 1: Storytelling with AI video tools

Storytelling and visual media help students process, retain and communicate complex ideas. With help from AI, you can learn to scaffold this process more easily – even without advanced video-editing skills.

Step into the director’s chair and transform your lesson content into engaging visual stories. In an ideation sprint, participants will learn how to turn a single written prompt into classroom-ready footage using Veo 3. Participants will be guided on how to:

Design a short video that complements an upcoming lesson or unit – ranging from concept explainers and vocabulary animations to lab-safety demos and historical scene re-creations
Write good prompts that can be transformed into polished clips in seconds, complete with motion and sound

Hour 2: Exploring On-device AI for safe, smart support

Many AI tools rely on the cloud, but that’s not always feasible for school settings. We’ll shift the spotlight from the cloud to the classroom device, where you can:

Test a specialised app that runs on-device AI models for safe, secure use
Try out offline features such as instant image-to-text feedback, quick rubric suggestions, and real-time translation – all without uploading student data to external servers

Throughout the workshop, participants will use Samsung Galaxy AI tablets with S Pen support and explore:

Note Assist: to transcribe and summarise group discussions
Sketch to Image: to convert rough drawings into usable graphics and visual aids
Circle to Search: to find reference material from selected text or images

If you’re looking for safe, practical AI tools to enhance student learning, not distract from it – join us!

Participants will:

Create curriculum-aligned micro-films to support student understanding of lesson content
Deliver real-time, private student feedback using AI
Design an integrated lesson plan that leverages AI tools, aligns with instructional goals and addresses ethics, privacy and digital equity in a future-ready classroom environment
