Using AI tools during our project allowed us to operate more creatively, more quickly, and more easily. Even without design expertise, Canva AI assisted us in creating professional-looking slides and posters. By producing lesson plans, tests, and learning resources rapidly, MagicSchool AI saved a significant amount of time. Kuripod assisted us in creating interactive lessons with questions and images, while Suno AI made learning enjoyable by transforming information into songs. Brisk Teaching was helpful for developing questions directly in Google Docs, correcting grammar, and simplifying texts. Our go-to resource for coming up with ideas, writing, and effectively describing subjects was ChatGPT.

But we also encountered certain difficulties. We had to modify the content because some of the tools didn't align with our school's curriculum. It was challenging for us as students because some features required purchase. We had to double-check the facts because the AI occasionally provided unclear or incorrect replies. It was also difficult to use some programs smoothly due to slow connection. By cooperating, revising the AI content, and applying our own expertise to enhance it, we were able to resolve these issues.

This experience taught us that while AI may assist educators, it cannot take their place. To make learning meaningful, we still require imagination, critical thinking, and concern. AI is a fantastic tool for increasing the effectiveness and engagement of instruction. More language options, fact-checking capabilities, free access for student teachers, and support for local curricula would all be beneficial for the future. All things considered, including AI into our project increased its excitement and demonstrated the synergy between technology and education.

Although AI technologies are incredibly beneficial, there is still room for improvement in terms of how they might be used by student instructors. Since MagicSchool AI already supports the Malaysian curriculum, such as KSSM, it is a good example. This should be followed by other tools that enable teachers to provide content that corresponds with what students learn in the classroom. More AI tools that trainee teachers might use for free or at a reduced cost would also be beneficial. The information would be more trustworthy if it included fact-checking tools or cited sources. In order for more individuals to use these technologies, they should also support other languages, such as Tamil, Mandarin, and Malay. Simple tutorials would speed up learning for new users, and offline or low-data modes would facilitate use in places with inadequate internet. Future educators may find AI tools even more beneficial, useful, and practical as a result of these developments.

During the project, a variety of AI tools were used to enhance educational content creation, and each brought unique strengths. Suno, for instance, was effective in engaging students creatively through music. It allowed the generation of catchy jingles and personalized songs that supported memory retention in subjects like language and literature. Veed AIstood out for its simple and user-friendly video editing capabilities. The automatic captioning feature was especially helpful for diverse learners, including ESL students and those with hearing impairments. ChatGPT proved to be an excellent assistant for teachers by speeding up lesson planning, generating quizzes, and offering explanations adapted to various student levels.

Magic School AI was particularly valuable for educators, helping to create rubrics, parent communication templates, and individualized learning plans. This reduced administrative workload and allowed more focus on teaching. Canva AImade it easy to design visually appealing worksheets and presentations. Its "Magic Write" feature and layout suggestions improved the overall quality and appeal of educational materials. Meanwhile, PhET Simulations offered interactive, inquiry-based visualizations, especially useful in subjects like science and mathematics. They promoted deeper conceptual understanding through exploration and virtual experimentation.

Tools like Brisk Teaching allowed teachers to convert articles or YouTube videos into interactive assessments, streamlining content differentiation and saving preparation time. Kuripod was effective in generating entire lesson plans and interactive slides from simple prompts. Its embedded features such as polls and quizzes increased student participation and made lessons more dynamic.

However, several challenges were encountered. One common issue was the tendency to over-rely on AI-generated content, which sometimes felt too generic or lacking in contextual depth. Teachers had to manually adapt and refine the materials to ensure they were appropriate for their specific classrooms. Technical issues such as lag or system crashes occurred occasionally, especially with media-heavy tools like Veed AI and Kuripod. These were managed by saving work frequently and using optimized settings. Another challenge was the limited local or cultural context offered by tools like Magic School or ChatGPT, which required additional customization to make examples more relatable for students.

Some tools also introduced distractions, particularly when students used platforms like Suno or Canva AI too freely, veering away from the task at hand. This was addressed by providing guided instructions and clear creative rubrics. Additionally, while tools like Brisk and Kuripod were powerful, they presented a learning curve for teachers who were unfamiliar with them. Short workshops and peer sharing sessions helped bridge this gap and increase adoption.

From this experience, a few important lessons were learned. AI tools are most effective when used as a support system rather than a replacement for human judgment and creativity. Teachers still need to apply their pedagogical knowledge to ensure quality and relevance. Content generated by AI benefits from iterative refinement. Moreover, students are highly responsive to visual and interactive content, and AI tools made it much easier to produce such materials.

Looking ahead, several improvements could enhance the use of AI in education. Tools would benefit from expanded language and localization options, such as adding Bahasa Malaysia interfaces or content libraries. Cross-platform integration would also streamline workflow, for example by connecting Canva directly to Kuripod or learning management systems. It would be helpful to offer offline or low-bandwidth versions for schools with unstable internet access. Another useful enhancement would be the development of teacher-curated template libraries in each platform to help with rapid customization. Finally, more focus should be placed on digital literacy training for both educators and students to ensure ethical and effective use of AI.

In this project, we were tasked with creating a science learning module using Canva and several AI tools. Throughout the process, we explored how technology can help us present scientific content in a more interactive and creative way.

Canva AI

Canva was the main platform we used to build our science module, and honestly, it made everything look clean and professional. We loved how easy it was to arrange text, icons, and images. The Magic Write feature really helped when we got stuck writing titles or activity instructions it gave us creative ideas fast. But at the same time, we had to be careful because sometimes the suggestions were too general or not quite related to science. One thing we noticed is that Canva has so many design options that we sometimes got distracted or made the slides too busy. After feedback from friends, we simplified the layout and made it more student-friendly. In the end, Canva helped us combine creativity and learning, but we had to plan our layout and color choices well to avoid making the module look too full.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT was like having a personal tutor during this project. It helped us explain difficult science concepts like factors affecting the rate of reaction in simple terms, and it even gave us analogies that made sense to students. We also used it to draft quiz questions, write fun facts, and correct our grammar. But we learned not to rely on it blindly sometimes the facts weren’t 100% accurate or didn’t match our textbook, so we double-checked everything. Overall, it was super helpful when we needed ideas fast, but we always made sure to edit it using our own words and understanding.

Suno AI

Suno was something new for us we used it to create background music for our video introduction. It was a cool touch that made our module feel more complete and less boring. The free version had limited styles, but we found a few that fit the tone we wanted. Although we didn’t use it a lot, it added an extra “wow” factor to our presentation, especially when showing it to others. Next time, we’d like to explore more ways to use it for voiceovers or storytelling.

PhET Simulation

PhET was a great way to add interactivity. We used the simulation for particle collisions to explain how temperature affects reaction rate. It made a big difference especially for visual learners. Instead of just describing the theory, students could see the particles moving faster at higher temperatures. Embedding the simulation into the Canva module made it feel like a mini-lab, and it really helped bring the topic to life.

Brisk Teaching

Brisk Teaching was useful when we had to generate quick quizzes and comprehension checks. We used it with our draft in Google Docs, and it suggested multiple-choice and true/false questions based on what we wrote. Some of the questions were quite generic at first, so we edited them to better suit our topic. Still, it saved a lot of time and gave us a good structure for our formative assessment.

Veed AI

We used Veed AI to edit our short module video. The auto-caption feature helped make it more accessible, and we could add voiceovers easily without needing editing skills. The free version was good enough, although there were some limits like watermark and export resolution. Still, for a student project, it was more than enough to make our presentation stand out.

Kuripod & Magic School AI

Kuripod helped us structure lesson flow it gave us a base to turn our ideas into a mini interactive lesson before we moved it to Canva. Meanwhile, Magic School AI helped us generate lesson objectives and classroom activity ideas. It was more focused on teaching strategies, so it worked best at the beginning stage when we were planning.

The tools worked best when we combined them with our own knowledge and teamwork. Next time, we will definitely use these tools again, but with a clearer workflow and more focus on keeping everything consistent and student-friendly.

However, I did face some challenges, especially with Veed AI. I tried to use it to generate videos based on my content, but it didn’t follow my instructions properly. Sometimes the videos were confusing or didn’t match what I wanted to show. Even after changing my prompts and trying again, the results were still off. This made it harder for me to prepare the kind of content I imagined, and I had to spend more time correcting or finding other ways to deliver the material.

Using these tools taught me that while AI can help make learning more engaging and creative, it still has its limits. It’s not always accurate, and sometimes we need to step in and fix things ourselves. I think Suno AI and PhET were very effective for students, but Veed AI needs improvement in understanding prompts and generating more accurate videos. Overall, these tools were helpful in making educational content more interactive, but they work best when combined with human effort and checking. MagicSchool AI and ChatGPT were both really helpful when I needed to create learning content by topic. I used them to generate lesson ideas, simplify explanations, create quizzes, and even come up with quick classroom activities. MagicSchool AI felt more tailored for school settings—it had ready-made tools like exit ticket generators, behavior redirection prompts, and lesson hooks, which saved time and gave structure to my planning. ChatGPT, on the other hand, was more flexible and open-ended. I could ask it to break down difficult topics, rewrite content in simpler terms, or give examples that matched my students’ level. Both tools made it easier to create content faster and helped me feel more confident that the material was accurate and engaging. They weren’t perfect, but they gave me a strong starting point and reduced a lot of the stress that comes with planning from scratch.
