AI stands at the forefront of modern educational discussions, symbolizing the next leap in pedagogical innovation. It's not merely about integrating technology into the classroom; it's about strategically leveraging cutting-edge AI tools to profoundly and positively influence student learning outcomes. But what are teachers saying about ai-powered tech in the classroom?
Pear Assessment's (formerly, Edulastic) Video Quiz and Question Generator are powered by AI technology to continuously improve the education experience of every student. To uncover how these advances resonate with educators, we spoke with a collection of dedicated teachers on how they plan to use these tools in their classrooms.
Pear Assessment’s AI-Powered Question Generator in the Classroom
We understand crafting assessments that align with state standards while considering depth of knowledge and difficulty level can be a time-consuming task. Edulatic’s Question Generator offers a prompt modal that includes a state standards selector, depth of knowledge (DOK), and difficulty level options.
We sent it to the experts (teachers just like you!) to test out, and here is what they reported:
“The AI question generator option in Pear Assessment Video Quiz software is amazing. It created quality question prompts relevant to the video and placed them at the perfect timing of the clip.” - Leah Caradonna, 5th-7th Grade Math Teacher, Pinellas School District, FL
“Video Quiz and AI Generator are awesome. The AI-generated questions are really good and help get some basic information for students, as well as moving up the DOK chart. They are suited to the content and on grade level as I requested.” - Pete Stamm, Middle School Social Studies and EdTech Coach, Diocese of Brooklyn, NY
Interactive Assessment Experiences
The Video Quiz feature transforms any video into an interactive assessment tool, allowing educators to embed questions directly within video content. This fusion of media and assessment promotes engagement while ensuring instructional goals are met.
“After test driving Video Quiz, I am excited to see how teachers are able to provide more creative and immersive assessment experiences for their students. I think students will enjoy the interactive nature of this quiz tool!” - Lauren Turner, Manager of Assessment, Denver School of Science and Technology (DSST), CO
AI-Empowered, Data-Driven Instruction
Data-driven instruction is paramount in modern education. It ensures teaching is not only effective, but also tailored to individual student needs. With Video Quiz and the Question Generator, data-driven instruction becomes more accessible and efficient.
“I already use EdPuzzle for content in class, and now I love that I can use something even more streamlined with standards for data-driven instruction. The Question Generator can be used to make less subjective standards-based questions and give a uniform assessment to students.” - Pete Stamm, Middle School Social Studies and EdTech Coach, Diocese of Brooklyn, NY
“The Video Quiz option will allow students to come to class with a basic understanding of the math concept. The AI question generation will help me create basic questions easily so I can spend more time focusing on enriching questions for my students.” - Leah Caradonna, 5th-7th Grade Math Teacher, Pinellas School District, FL
“Video Quiz is a game changer! With Video Quiz, the teacher never has to worry about whether students ‘get it’ or not.” - Danielle Anderson, 5th Grade Math Teacher, Barnesville Exempted Village School District, OH
Engaging Students with AI
In an era of digital distractions, keeping students engaged is both a challenge and necessity. By integrating video with assessment, educators can offer a dynamic and interactive learning environment that captivates students.
“VideoQuiz is a very engaging learning tool. I can envision students finding this a very engaging format for learning as well as assessment.” - Randy Swift, 3rd-4th Grade Math Interventionist, Greenwich Central School District, NY
“I will use Video Quiz in my middle school math classroom. Students will watch a video and take notes for homework, facilitating in-class learning with enriching activities.” - Leah Caradonna, 5th-7th Grade Math Teacher, Pinellas School District, FL
Saving Time with AI-Powered Tools
One of the primary aims of educational technology is to streamline administrative tasks, thereby giving educators more time to focus on what truly matters: teaching. The easier a tool is to use, the more valuable it becomes in an educator's arsenal.
“I thought the Video Quiz and AI Question Generator were easy to use and very helpful. I liked how you could insert different types of questions in the video. Very interactive!” - Sarah Clark, 9th Grade Math Teacher, TX
“The AI Question Generator takes your video and creates the questions for you based on your content in the video.” - Danielle Anderson, 5th Grade Math Teacher, Barnesville Exempted Village School District, OH
“One thing teachers are always wanting is the gift of time. These new question types help give that gift to teachers.” - Brandie Schroeder, 5th Grade Teacher, Plainfield Community Schools, IN
Continuing Instruction with Video Quiz
Every teacher knows the challenge of ensuring continuity in learning, even in their absence. Tools that allow for self-paced, interactive learning can be a boon in such scenarios, ensuring the instructional process remains uninterrupted.
“Video Quiz is a great tool when you know you are going to be out of your classroom. The learning can continue no matter who is covering your class.” - Danielle Anderson, 5th Grade Math Teacher, Barnesville Exempted Village School District, OH
Our AI Journey
We believe there are many exciting applications for our AI technology to empower educators and admins during the learning process, and unlock new avenues to support students in ways we never thought possible. This enthusiasm from teachers in welcoming AI technology into their classrooms is only the start of an exciting new frontier of edtech possibilities.
