Quickly Create Worksheets: Youtube, TinyWOW, and AI
Educators are always on the lookout for innovative ways to make learning more engaging and interactive. One quick, effective strategy is to utilize YouTube videos as educational tools. With the help of TinyWOW, creating guided worksheets or fill-in-the-blank exercises from YouTube transcripts has never been easier. Here's a step-by-step guide to enhance your classroom experience:
1. Find the Right YouTube Video: Select a video that aligns with your lesson objectives. Make sure it’s educational and suitable for your students' age group.
2. Generate the Transcript: Copy the URL of your chosen YouTube video. Head over to TinyWOW’s Youtube Transcript Generator and paste the URL to generate a transcript of the video. TinyWOW quickly converts the spoken content into text, providing you with a detailed transcript.
3. Create Your Worksheet: Using the transcript, create a guided worksheet using your favorite generative AI chatbot (Gemini, ChatGPT, etc). The prompt should include what types of questions you would like to include, such as comprehension questions, fill-in-the-blank sentences, or even discussion prompts. Use a prompt such as “Create an interactive worksheet for XX grade students from the following transcript: /copied text/”. Copy and past the resulting worksheet into a document and edit as needed.
4. Display the Video Without Ads: To ensure an uninterrupted viewing experience, modify the YouTube URL by inserting a hyphen after “yout” in the link. This removes ads and distractions. For example, change `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eLlNTNCBfQ` to `https://www.yout-ube.com/watch?v=8eLlNTNCBfQ`.
5. Engage Your Students: Show the ad-free video in full screen to your students. Distribute the worksheets and guide them through the exercise as they watch. This approach not only keeps students focused but also reinforces their understanding through active participation.
Using YouTube videos and transcripts to create worksheets is a dynamic way to enrich your teaching methods. TinyWOW and AI simplifies the process, allowing you to focus on what you do best – teaching and inspiring your students. Give it a try and watch your classroom engagement soar!
