APP FOR THE WEEK PROGRAMME

 

INTRODUCTION

The Technology – The IT Club and Social Science Optional of N.S.S. Training College, Ottapalam,

organised an “App for the Week” programme on 24 September 2026 at 9:30 a.m. in the General Hall.

The programme focused on the creative and educational applications of Artificial Intelligence through

AI-generated video and storybook creation.

The programme was organised with the objective of familiarising student teachers with emerging AI

tools and demonstrating how such technologies can be meaningfully incorporated into teaching and

learning. The initiative provided practical exposure to digital tools and encouraged participants to

explore their possibilities beyond conventional classroom practices.

PROGRAMME DETAILS

The programme began with a prayer by Manjima VC, Aswathi S D and Shamna V, followed by

compering by Neethu V. The programme included presentations by Sreedivya M V and Devanarayanan

M S, both from the Social Science Optional.

Presentation On Google Vids

Sreedivya M V presented Google Vids, an AI-supported video creation tool. As part of the

demonstration, she created an animated version of the story of the Hare and the Tortoise. The

presentation showed how a familiar story can be transformed into an engaging visual narrative using

digital technology.

The demonstration highlighted the possibilities of using AI-generated videos to make classroom content

more attractive, creative and interactive. It also illustrated how teachers can use storytelling and visual

media to support better student engagement

Presentation On Gemini Storybook

Devanarayanan M S introduced Gemini Storybook and demonstrated its potential for creating

personalised digital stories. He created a story based on Social Science classmates, making the

presentation relatable and entertaining for the audience.

He further demonstrated the creative possibilities of the tool by randomly selecting students from the

audience and incorporating them into an imaginative story. This interactive element generated

considerable interest and participation among the students and demonstrated how AI can be used to

create personalised and engaging learning experiences.

EDUCATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE 

The demonstrations helped participants understand that AI tools can be used not only for entertainment

but also for storytelling, content creation, classroom engagement and creative learning experiences.

The programme provided student teachers with practical exposure to emerging digital technologies that

can support innovative teaching practices.

The session encouraged participants to think about how AI-generated videos and digital storybooks

could be adapted for classroom activities, presentations, storytelling and other learning experiences.

OBJECTIVES 

• Introduce student teachers to AI-based creative applications.

• Demonstrate the use of AI in video and storybook creation.

• Encourage creativity and innovation in teaching and learning.

• Familiarise future teachers with emerging digital educational tools.

• Show how familiar academic and everyday topics can be presented through engaging digital stories.

OUTCOME

The programme created an opportunity for student teachers to explore the creative and educational

possibilities of Artificial Intelligence. The practical demonstrations of Google Vids and Gemini Storybook

helped participants understand how digital storytelling and AI-generated videos can transform ordinary

stories and classroom ideas into engaging digital content.

The interactive storytelling by Devanarayanan, particularly the creation of a story using randomly

selected students from the audience, added an enjoyable and participatory dimension to the

programme. The session also encouraged participants to consider practical ways of incorporating AI

tools into future teaching practices

CONCLUSION 

The App for the Week – AI Generated Video and Storybook programme successfully provided student

teachers with practical exposure to the creative use of Artificial Intelligence. Through the

demonstrations of Google Vids and Gemini Storybook, the participants experienced how technology

can transform ordinary stories and classroom ideas into engaging digital content.

The programme served as a valuable step towards encouraging AI awareness, digital creativity and

innovative teaching practices among future teachers. The event concluded with the National Anthem.
