#23. New to interacting with ChatGPT? Need prompting?

 Using ChatGPT can drastically cut down on the amount of time an educator needs to spend when creating new lesson plans. Particularly useful when embarking on creating lesson materials for subjects or topics you are new to teaching. OpenAI has a page with a few useful detailed prompts for teachers covering these topics:

A. Come up with lesson plans

B. Create effective explanations, examples, analogies

C. Help students learn by teaching

D. Create an AI tutor


You can find all the prompts on this page HERE

In the video below we take the first prompt 'Come up with lesson plans' and interact with it to create a number of lesson plans which can serve as a starting point for thinking about how to go about teaching new or unfamiliar content, topics or themes. The idea is not to take the lesson plans ChatGPT spits out and unthinkingly follow them. But they can, most definitely, be used as useful guides.




3 key points to remember when interacting with ChatGPT:

1. Stop it and explain when it is doing something you don't want. 
2. Give clear, simple instructions.
3. Remember that it remembers. Once you have interacted to create a suitable lesson plan, just ask ChatGPT to repeat the process with as many lessons and with as many topics as you need. This is where the real time saving can come it.

*Note: If you are unable to access OpenAI ChatGPT, there are other alternatives, such as you.com.

#21. Be Creative with Everyday AI Tools

This blogpost may be of interest to educators who want to think more deeply about how to integrate non-academic and non-educational AI tools into their portfolio of teaching and learning activities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has, over the last year in particular, become widely-known and discussed. There is a growing number of AI-powered tools that are being introduced for everyday use and their potential in education should not be ignored. Elementary through tertiary educators can utilize these tools in various subjects to create engaging and impactful learning experiences for their students. As educators in the past decade previously took everyday tools such as Google Maps and Earth to create engaging lesson materials across a variety of subjects from Maths to Science to Geography, History and even Literature, it seems now that we can apply this idea of thinking outside the box in terms of the waves of new AI tools which are now proliferating. An obvious example of an AI-powered

#22. Introducing Chat GPT to Young Learners through Storytelling Activities

Image
 This blogpost may be of interest to educators who are looking to introduce the concept and powers of Chat GPT to Young Learners in a fun, interactive way. For this example we will be using Books by AI , which is currently in its Beta phase. This is a platform that allows you to create and modify books (or the text at least) through inputting prompts.  Before we start with the activity example for this blogpost, let's quickly touch upon the ethics of students using AI and specifically Large Language Models chatbots (LLMs). There are good arguments for both allowing and not allowing students access to AI tools to supplement and support learning. Personally, I think if there are productivity tools such as Chat GPT, which are now being used and will be used in daily life and work in the future, then it's probably a good idea to introduce students to these tools and try and get them using them in a productive and responsible way. No doubt some students will be unable to responsibly
