Images, Audio, and Video
AI isn’t just for text. Today’s tools can understand and generate images, audio, and even video—giving teachers fast, flexible ways to create and respond across media.
Image Input: Get Feedback or Ideas from Visuals
You can upload photos or screenshots (and even video clips) and ask AI for help.
- Student work: Upload handwritten work for feedback on maths steps or essay structure
- Resource creation: Screenshot a page and ask for summary points or discussion questions
- Marking help: Share student projects or quick video clips for marking suggestions
- Docs and forms: Upload curriculum docs or worksheets to extract key ideas
If your image (or video) includes text, ask the AI to read it aloud or summarise first. It helps catch errors and makes sure it’s interpreting things correctly.
Image Creation: Generate What You Need
AI can create visuals from a short prompt. It’s handy for quick, custom content.
- Explain concepts: “Create a simple water cycle diagram for Year 5”
- Bring history to life: “Show a bustling medieval marketplace”
- Support science: “Image of a labelled plant cell”
- Decorate the room: Make posters, quotes, or subject visuals
Audio & Voice: Interact Naturally
Some tools now support voice or audio features. This is great for hands-free brainstorming, quick concept checks, or turning your notes into a student-friendly audio explainer (e.g. with tools like NotebookLM).
Start small. These tools work best when they’re saving you time, not adding extra complexity.
