How to Publish Effectively Online With Generative AI

Main Idea

In this interactive workshop designed for high school students in grades 10-12, participants will explore the transformative role of generative AI in digital publishing. Students will learn how AI tools can enhance their ability to publish articles online by simplifying and optimizing various steps of the content creation process.

Students will be guided through a hands-on exercise where they will use generative AI to craft compelling short descriptions for an article. This exercise aims to demonstrate how AI can help encapsulate complex ideas into concise, engaging summaries that attract readers.

Next, the students will use an AI-powered tool to create a visually appealing image that complements their article. This part of the workshop emphasizes the importance of visual elements in digital publishing and how AI can be used to generate relevant and striking imagery.

Finally, the workshop will cover the use of AI like ChatGPT to generate metadata for their articles. This includes creating SEO-friendly tags and descriptions that improve the visibility of their publications online. Throughout the session, students will gain practical skills and insights into the ethical considerations of using AI in creative processes, preparing them for the future landscape of digital media and publishing.
