Using AI and exploring resource awareness in lessons

In my first teaching role, in a Year 8 geography class, I incorporated an activity in which rather than reading the article below to consider SEEP (social, economic, environmental and political) criteria, I converted the article into a Synthesia AI Video for students to watch.

A screen shot of the Synthesia video is shown below

This opened up discussion as many students were shocked the video was made using AI. We discussed how we need to be very careful with what we see presented to us now because really polished videos like this can be prepared in a half an hour.

We later used Synthesia to create an exam revision video of an activity the students completed in class.
