In order to ensure that originals do not get altered, everything has been loaded to a separate Google Site and set to force copy and create your own copy…so no worries about messing anything up.

KAMI’S NEW AI TOOLS
GENERATE
CONVERT
Best for PDFs where the system can analyze and create questions easily to accompany the text
Since our PDF already has questions, we are going to use this tool to convert them to self-grading
Let AI help you build an assessment from the ground up with a combo of AI and user-created questions
We are going to convert this document, since it is already a test/assessment
NOTE:
It will only convert 10 pages at a time using AI at this point, so they will need to be done in sections (ex: run the first 10 pages of questions and then the next 10 pages or 5 pages or whatever is left to get them all)
Make sure you find where assessment actually starts and use the page numbers on KAMI, not the test.
QUESTION EDITOR
Adjust the point value
Add a question

Include one of the following in each round: producer, decomposer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and tertiary consumer. Include pictures of the organisms, if possible. Tell the students to try again if they have it incorrect and celebrate if they have it correct. Include a “Correct answers” button that tells where each organism should be categorized.

My Prompt:
Code a practice activity to help students master TN State Science Standard: 3.ESS2: Earth’s Systems: Associate major cloud types (cumulus, cumulonimbus, cirrus, stratus, nimbostratus) with weather conditions. Create an activity that will give a description of the weather outside and the appearance of the clouds and have them choose the cloud type. Include pictures of the clouds, if possible. Include a "Submit" button and a "Correct Answers" button. Do not allow students to click the "Correct Answers" button until they have Submitted. Allow for 10 rounds of practice.
