Gamma is an AI tool that is designed for the creation of presentations, web pages, and documents. It reduces the time spent on creating these text types and supports users who do not have these skills. Gamma enables users to create these items by adding their information or typing a prompt. It has a variety of templates and it allows users to collaborate in real time.

An example of Gamma being used would be in a Year 6 History lesson aligned to the outcome HS3-CWT-01. It explores the understanding between events of the past and present. Students can use Gamma AI to create a presentation that allows them to explore the difference between Australia in the 70s vs Now. Using Gamma AI allows for a reduced cognitive load as it removes the stress of creating when students can focus on understanding the information. Referring to the SAMR Model (Puentedura, 2006) Gamma AI modify the way the task would traditionally be completed. Through the use of Gamma AI, it modifies the way students input their information and designs how it's presented. It also affects the way they work online allowing for new skills to be developed through interactive elements and collaboration. The example below showcases how information put into Gamma AI can be presented in a visually engaging way.
Syllabus:
HS3-CWT-01 - creates written texts to communicate ideas and understanding about people, places and events of the past and the present.

Gamma AI is a powerful tool that can be used in all classrooms, as it allows students to create engaging and well-structured presentations without overloading students. It allows for collaboration between students, which allows for anyone to be on at any time. It aligns outcomes in History and English as it allows for the creation of multimodal texts. They can be created by a prompt or by typing in information students have collected, this helps reduce the cognitive load of students as they only focus on one task. The only downside to Gamma AI is you only get 400 credits before you have to pay. Gamma AI enhances communication, and research changing the way traditional tasks are completed, which supports the SAMR model.
