From Eric Curts: Hey everyone! I wanted to see if I could use AI tools to create an educational song that could be used to help teach a concept to students. I chose the water cycle for my theme and used ChatGPT to write the lyrics for the song, although Gemini or Claude would work great as well. I then used Udio to generate the music and to sing the completed song. You can use the link below to listen to the water cycle song, and for the directions and tools I used to create it:
https://www.controlaltachieve.com/2024/07/creating-educational-songs-with-ai-tools.html I hope this will inspire others to create a song, and I would love to hear what you make, as well as any suggestions you have for making this project better.
