Bill let's find out together they have big curved bills yes excellent here we can see that it's even adding in some
questions which is really good to prompt your class so can you think of any animals that might be their neighbors
it's an excellent way of getting those initial questions you as a teacher obviously are going to jump in and add
your own questions here you can see what do they eat it's gone and looked for lots of different pictures of all these
various headings and then obviously we can add in our own great excellent beginning let's see
what else brisk teaching can do so now I'm going to open up a National Geographic it's all about horn bills
there's some great information on here I can scroll down I can find out more about horn bills but because it's a
Chrome extension in the bottom right corner I also have that brisk icon brisk is going to open up and it gives me a
number of options the first is I can use the information on this website and I can create so for example if I wanted to
select this paragraph here the the largest Horn Bill the southern ground Horn Bill I highlight this paragraph
click on Create and now I can do something with that paragraph I can create a presentation an Exemplar a
lesson plan decodable text maybe even a depth of Knowledge Questions let's go ahead and just leave this website
unselected and let's go ahead and create a do depth of Knowledge Questions overview that is for this entire web
page CU I've not selected individual paragraphs and it is going to be at a let's make this a sixth grade level you
can also add your standards so if you are working working with various standards you can use these standards
here and add those in we're not going to do that today let's go ahead and click on brisket it's going to generate a new
Google Document take the information from the website and then create those depth of Knowledge Questions so you can
see here it is already writing as we speak can now review these before using them so for example recall and
reproduction what are horn Bills named after what do they eat how long is the incubation period for an egg you can see
we have some more advanced skills and Concepts Let's see we have some investigative role of the alpha pair in
a flock of Southern ground horn bills an excellent follow-up question for those key Concepts there's also an activity
idea at it and you can see strategic thinking and then really at the bottom we've got that extended thinking so
let's have a look at this one write a persuasive essay advocating for stronger international regulation to combat the
illegal trade of Horn Bill casks excellent examples of depth of knowledge overviews and this was all done in a few
seconds at Max a minute let's go back to that website and let's say that this is a great website lots of information that
I would like to use but as I mentioned before I'm I'm dealing with a first grade or a second grade year Group Well
we can also change the reading level of this website so let's go ahead and click on brisk and I'm going to change that
level it's now going to scan the page it has scanned it as a 10th grade reading level so that's what brisk is viewing
this page as and we are going to change that to a first grade in English and click on change reading level this is
now going to take the information from the website pull it into a Google doc create that new Google doc and tweak the
reading level so let's have a look what is a horn Bill Horn bills are big big colorful birds as you can see it is
rewriting the entire website I'm going to close brisk for now horn bills are big colorful birds they have really big
beaks called bills that came from here on this website at the top where it talks about horn bills being tropical
birds named for their unusually large curved bills some of which are adorned with large Cask Hollow structure made of
keratin that was Rewritten to be horn are big colorful birds they have really big beaks called bills some bills have
bumps on top so it gives a bit more context it explains it better at that age level at that grade level another
excellent use of brisk now what else can brisk do well brisk can do so much more so here I have
a video about horn bills so let's go ahead and now use this video the transcript of the video and have brisk
create a form with multiple choice questions an excellent way of creating a quiz from a YouTube video going to click
on that icon at the bottom brisk it recognizes there's a YouTube video we're going to click on Create and then I'm
going to select quiz now for quiz you have two options you can pop it all into a document or you can use Google forms
I'm going to use Google forms so let's go ahead and select third grade multiple choice questions 10 questions in English
and let's go ahead and click on next now I have to select which of the two I want to use I've already demonstrated a new
document before when we were changing the reading level of a website so let's have a look a new form and create a form
using the information in the transcript do make sure your video has a transcript that there is spoken language double
check the video before you brisk it because a video without a spoken transcript that video will obviously not
be able to create a multiple choice quiz we're going to select a form click on brisket I've already given it permission
to access forms if you have not done so yet you will be asked to give it permission to access forms here you can
see is now creating that quiz hornbill conservation quiz and it's automatically pulling all those questions from the
trans script and creating a multiple choice quiz for example here how long does it usually take the horn bills to
trust and use an artificial nesting box 1 month 6 months 1 year 2 year this comes from that video it has taken all
the information I needed and created generated 10 questions double check this push it out to your learners and they
can reflect on a video they've watched now in addition to this I can add onto this form now so here this quiz multiple
choice great let's add a short response to this as well so what I would like to add is share with us your ideas on
supporting and helping the conservation of horn bills so we are going to ask the user to now you know
generate some responses based on this and there you go now it has added on some short form entries as well what are
some ways individuals can support hornbill conservation how can communities contribute to hornbill
conservation efforts can leave that in and then we have finished we are on this YouTube video and now I'm going to use
the same YouTube video click on brisket but I'm going to not create a quiz I'm going to go to create and I'm going to
create an entire lesson plan based around this video about conservation so let's click on lesson plan this will
be a lesson plan for a 10th grade year group 50-minute lessons let's make it a 40-minute lesson and brisk it takes the
look okay it gives me that duration some objectives the entire procedure of your lesson various areas that you are going
to be covering so let's have a look let's see what has come up with objectives okay we've got very clear
objectives here at the top some materials that will be needed the video that I've based this on then we need a
whiteboard or a Blackboard markers chalk paper pencils okay so we're going to tweak that a little bit to match our
classroom and then how does the lesson flow Let's see we start the lesson by asking if anyone is familiar with horn
bills yes great show the video discuss the video then write some of the following questions on the board why are
they important to the ecosystem how do they contribute to se this personal actually actually a really great
introduction to that lesson then we can explain a section about how they are sacred animals to many tribes in Borneo
and then it talks about the cultural significance of horn bills then it also has a follow-up question of that as well
and it keeps going through everything eventually going to that summary at the end of your lesson and the proper
planery that has been planned by brisk now brisk can do many more things than just take content from a YouTube video a
website or your own content and generate all of these classroom resources lesson plans follow-up questions but this is a
great example of some of the things brisk can do and that is brisk AI in a nutshell now I just want to say a quick
