#AI Teacher Wang Jue’s AIGC Education Application Articles Collection
————————————————
In the era of large models, the threshold for many professional tasks has been greatly reduced!
This means that many tasks no longer require professional skills or extensive training.
As long as there are ideas, needs, and creativity,
one can easily accomplish tasks through dialogue with large models.
In the programming field, the world No.1 is Cursor AI.
You only need to express your needs or ideas in words,
and it can quickly complete the coding.
Therefore, it is hailed as the ChatGPT of programming.
This September, a report appeared online: an eight-year-old child built a website manually without any programming experience.
The child’s father, named Meng To, shared this astonishing news online:
“My 8-year-old son built a Three.js website without any coding experience; he used the Claude AI tool and had Cursor do all the coding work for him. In fact, he completed several projects, including two platform games, a drawing application, an animation application, and an AI chat application, each project taking about 2 hours. I only helped him set up Cursor, Git, and Netlify. Now, code has become a design tool, and there’s no longer a need for people to write code.” (See: 8-Year-Old Uses AI to Make Games)
Just as Teacher Wang Jue was thinking about when to try Cursor, she discovered in the AIGC group that Teacher Lin Mumu had posted a video of a “24-point game“:
Teacher Lin said: This was created using Cursor, taking a very short time, and there was no need to write or modify any code.
So, I quickly invited Teacher Lin to hold a live sharing session. During the sharing, we saw that: Cursor does indeed allow people to only need to ask questions; as long as the requests are reasonable, even if quite complex, it can quickly generate code and can also be published as an HTML file (which can be opened in a local browser)!
For example, regarding question setting, a teacher asked:
-
Can we make the text and icons in the interface larger?
-
Can we provide some questions ourselves and let Cursor generate questions randomly?
-
Can we have the students’ answers judged (with the correct answers attached when questions are posed)?
-
Can we inform students of the correct answers when they answer incorrectly?
-
Can we generate multiple-choice questions?
-
Can the answers in multiple-choice questions be shuffled randomly (I haven’t tried this, but I think it can be done)?
-
Can we record how many questions students got right and wrong?
-
Can we summarize all students’ records so that teachers can see them, or create a leaderboard (I haven’t tried this because it requires database support or API calls. This actually has nothing to do with programming; it requires some basic environmental support)?
Cursor is indeed much more powerful than expected! No wonder an 8-year-old can also program complex applications!
Below is Teacher Lin Mumu’s sharing video; let’s experience the exciting world of Cursor together!
(Teacher Lin mentioned during the sharing: For domestic users, the only hassle is that you need a Google email or GitHub account to log in, which requires scientific internet access…)
If teachers have any teaching scenarios that need to develop interactive programs, it’s worth a try!
More teachers are also welcome to share their Cursor development achievements!
