Can You Spot an AI-generated Image? Google Arts & Culture has a lot of fun, interesting, and educational games for students. A couple of weeks ago I shared Return of the Cat Mummy from Google Arts & Culture. Last week, thanks to Tony Vincent, I learned about another fun game from Google Arts & Culture. Odd One Out is a fun game from Google Arts & Culture. In the game you're shown four images and you have to guess which one is the one created by artificial intelligence. You have four guesses before the game is over.  Applications for Education The three real images are artifacts from museums and galleries available on the Google Arts & Culture. From that perspective the game provides some nice inspiration for conversation and research about the artifacts. The game could also be instructive as a tool for teaching about the difficulty of distinguishing between real and fake things online. I also like the idea of using the game as a source of conversation about using clues to make an informed choice or guess from the information available to you.     How Fireworks Work If your kids are also curious about how fireworks work, take a look at the following videos from NPR's SkunkBear, National Geographic, and Reactions to learn about the science of fireworks.    If you're viewing this in RSS or email, you might need to click on the blog post title to see the videos.   Short Lessons About the 4th of July If you have kids who are also wondering about the significance of the 4th of July, take a look at the short lessons that I've listed below. History offers the following excerpt from the America: The Story of Us series. The clip is commentary from talking heads like Tom Brokaw and Aaron Sorkin. It could prompt some thought and discussion amongst your students.  TED-Ed has a lesson titled What You Might Not Know About the Declaration of Independence. It's a lesson that provides overview of the key points in creation of the Declaration of Independence along with a short discussion prompt at the end. The lesson is probably best suited to middle school students.  In History of the 4th of July John Green offers a short overview of the history of Independence Day and the ways in which Americans have celebrated the holiday since 1776. As he always does, Green includes plenty of sarcastic comments throughout the video so if your students have trouble recognizing sarcasm then this won't be an appropriate video for them.  Keith Hughes has stopped producing new videos on his YouTube channel, but if you go back in his archives you'll find this gem from 2012. In the upbeat and concise style that made Keith's YouTube channel popular he provides an overview of the Declaration of Independence.    More Recent Articles |
