Retrieval Practice & Review Games Prompts

+ RetrievalPractice.org

"We tend to think that most learning occurs during the initial encoding stage–when students get information 'in' by re-reading, reviewing, and taking notes. However, one of the most robust findings from 100+ years of cognitive science research is that a significant amount of learning occurs when students pull information 'out' by using a strategy called retrieval practice."

AI Image Generation for Learning

Creative AI Image Challenge

bit.ly/PDS_AI

Simply type in a prompt that you think could elicit good storytelling—like “goat eating cake while on a surfboard”—and project the resulting image during class. Ask students to write about what the image makes them see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. From there, students can dig deeper and spend some time writing the image’s backstory. (How did a goat get to the beach in the first place?) To better connect this activity to content learning, ask students to include recent vocabulary words in their writing—or prompt the AI to include relevant concepts in the image itself, like “fossils,” “crystals,” or “migration.”

AI Generated Images as Writing Prompts

bit.ly/PDS_AI

• Students choose a mix of adjectives, verbs, colors, and/or feelings.
• Students input their selection as a generative AI image prompt.
• Students write a poem based on the image output.

Prompt Engineering 101

• Getting better responses: Describe what you want the AI to do, then add "Ask me questions to give me a better response" or "What details do you need to better assist me?"

• Quality control: Tell the AI what you want, then specify "Don't include..."
• Example: "Give me a list of activity ideas for teaching digital citizenship, but don't include activities that require QR codes."
• Make the AI fix it: Before changing the output yourself, tell the AI specifically what you want it to change about its result.
• Example: " Rewrite those same questions to be more concise, and swap around some of the correct answers because too many of them use 'C' as the answer."
