Used GPT-5-Mini to create an interactive blank-filling grammar exercise

 My Steps: 

1. In Google search, look for 'grammar exercises' in Images. 

2. Chose one, and copied its image URL: 

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT9y3Smdff-ggoY90kEAaKpbak8h2KDjSmv0A&s

4. Went to POE. Located GPT-5-Mini

5. Pasted in the above image URL in the prompt box, and typed: 

"convert to interactive exercise, check student answers and give feedback to students" (as suggested by Ha Sir"

6. It then asked me which of 3 options I needed:

a. a Web-based interactive exercise; 

b. a text version for copy-and-paste

c. a Google Form - like text to paste into an LMS

7. I chose 'a'. 

8. The following interactive grammar exercise generated:

postscript: I started with the chatbot function. Actually, POE automatically switched to 'create canvas app' upon my instructions. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards I tried option 'b' again. Poe returns the text which replicates the original worksheet, and provides very rich suggestions for feedback and marking.
