ABCD ChatGPT: AI for the Modern Classroom
As teachers, we have all heard of ChatGPT and fear artificial intelligence use by our students. AI has become the elephant in the classroom, as we try to ban students from using it, or scramble to find ways to create AI-proof lessons. That being said - Have you thought about using AI yourself as a time saver? There are multitudes of tools beyond ChatGPT that can make our lives easier and our lessons more engaging in a fraction of the time it would take us to create them.
This course will provide you with a toolkit of various AI strategies that you can use to design your classes this fall. You will learn AI tools that create standards-specific content, as well as how to use them in a fraction of the time it would take to create your own unit or lesson plan. You will be given implementation time each three hour session to try out the generative AI tools I will introduce you to. In addition, you will become more knowledgeable of sites that can shorten your planning time, platforms that will write lesson plans for you, as well as tools that can make some of the administrative tasks of the day less time consuming.
Taught by a busy Social Studies teacher, this class will share tried and tested methods that can make our jobs easier and help us embrace the future and create a modern classroom using the most cutting edge AI tools. You will leave this course with lessons and activities that are ready to implement, making this a valuable use of your summer time.
