#25.ChatGPT & Images: Ideas for Educators

 

This blogpost may be interesting for educators who want to get some quick ideas on using images within ChatGPT for lesson activity creation.




 Educators are constantly seeking innovative tools to enhance teaching methodologies. Enter ChatGPT, OpenAI's conversational AI that has primarily been recognized for its text-based prowess - which is very, very useful! However, teachers can now integrate ChatGPT with images to create visually engaging lesson activities. Let’s explore five case uses...generated by ChatGPT itself, and then let's look at it in action.

____________________

1. Image Descriptions & Vocabulary Enhancement:

Activity: Present students with a series of images without any captions. Ask them to describe the image to ChatGPT in as much detail as possible. ChatGPT can then provide a more comprehensive description, incorporating diverse vocabulary and expressions.

Objective: Enhance students' descriptive abilities and vocabulary.

2. Historical Image Analysis:

Activity: Choose historical photographs or art pieces and ask students to research and discuss the context with ChatGPT. The AI can be pre-fed with details about the image, allowing it to provide historical insights or ask probing questions.

Objective: Cultivate critical thinking and historical analysis skills.

3. Scientific Image Discussions:

Activity: Use images of cell structures, astronomical events, or chemical reactions. Ask students to explain the phenomenon to ChatGPT. The AI can correct misconceptions, provide additional facts, or challenge students with related questions.

Objective: Deepen understanding of scientific concepts and encourage curiosity.

4. "Guess the Image" Game: 

Activity: Teachers can use ChatGPT to describe an image without showing it, dropping hints or using specific vocabulary. Students guess what the image might be. Alternatively, students can describe an image to ChatGPT, and the AI tries to "guess" it based on their descriptions. (This is one of my favourites)

Objective: Encourage active listening, interpretation skills, and vocabulary usage.

5. Image-Based Storytelling:

Activity: Show students a series of images in a sequence. They can narrate a story to ChatGPT based on these images. ChatGPT can provide feedback, ask questions to develop the plot, or suggest alternative storylines.

Objective: Foster creativity, narrative skills, and logical sequencing.

Now, let's take a look at what it looks like when you interact with ChatGPT and images in this video. 

Thinking carefully before you start prompting is very important!

#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

#20. The (AI) Power of Stories

Image
Reading & Writing Activities for Young Learners with AI-powered Tools This blogpost might be of interest to educators who want to develop collaborative reading activities which can utilise individual reading, guided reading, shared reading while incorporating speaking and writing activities. We all know the story about stories: Stories are a great way to help students learn so many things, not just literacy but morals, ideas, concepts etc. However, in terms of literacy we know the studies have been done repeatedly and in many places in recent decades with the general conclusion that students who read more do better at school over time. For any educator working with young learners in an ELA, EFL/ESL environment, the use of stories is crucial in engaging students and aiding that literacy development. However, with young learners now frequently using tablets and phones - and therefore being more image-focused than text-focused these days - there is a feeling amongst many educators tha
