This morning, my first workshop was led by Manaiakalani Facilitator and Project Lead Matt Goodwin, titled "Bring Lessons to Life with AI Animations."
Matt used three AI tools: Lalamu Studio, Meta's AI Research, and Adobe Express (Animate from Audio). Here are a couple of things to consider when using these sites with our learners:
Ethical Consideration: Consider using photos or animations of our learners' faces online. Since this information is kept on-site, it's important to remind our learners about being Cybersmart.
Free tiers and limitations: These free sites have limitations on usage. They may offer credits/vouchers or renew free credit monthly. Upgrading to "premium" features typically comes with a cost.
Lalamu via Canva: Text to lip sync animation. It works directly from Canva and works best with text for lip syncing. I used this site to insert one of my student's stories and chose a female avatar to read her story.
It's an awesome tool to use, for our learners to hear and proofread their work. One of the downside of this free AI tool, it doesn't include reading with punctuation.
Meta's AI Research: allows users to create animations, by drawing a character, uploading it on the site and select what movements you'd like your character to consider eg: running, walking, facial expressions etc.
Adobe Express (Animate from Audio) Allows users to record their voice, but using an animation. Quite catchy for our learners to use this for their play recordings?
Will definitely give this a go for our learners to 'create' from their lessons.
