AI Tools for Teachers
Tech Tip Tuesday (March 14, 2023)
It's been quite the talk of the tech world, but how about in education?
ChatGPT can pose a lot of hurdles for educators to overcome as it continues to grow in popularity and proficiency as an AI tool that can do a lot more than just provide natural language.
However, check out some of the ways that some teachers are using ChatGPT to increase their productivity and creativity and even open up innovative ways to think about how they do new and old tasks.
Try out this prompt guide from NewEdTechClassroom on how to use ChatGPT for lesson planning!
Monica Burns also put out 60+ tips on how teachers can use ChatGPT!
Even better, check out how ChatGPT can be leveraged for best practices in the classroom!
Check with your district's policy on teacher use of ChatGPT.
At this time, many K-12 districts are not allowed to use ChatGPT with students, even with written consent from parents.
Want to see what an AI language model can do for lesson planning?
Education Copilot is a great way to get a jump start on trying something new or when you are at a loss for what you may need to plan for an upcoming unit, lesson, or collaboration.
Copilot helps make units, lessons, and even quizzes for your content.
Do not upload student information (including full names or other personally identifiable information) into Copilot or any other AI tool.
Always check for content quality!
Want to see if a video is something you'd want to watch?
Use summarize.tech! It uses the same language as ChatGPT, and it can give you a quick glance at what the video is about!
As always, please watch the entire video yourself if you were going to show it in class..
