I have been working with AI for some time now and have a few new ideas to share.
My current AI tools I use are:
- ChatGPT
- Gemini
- Claude
- Copilot
Some of you will ask why tools like magic school AI are not on the list. What I recommend is getting to know how AI works before moving into the other resources. If you want a longer explanation, let me know.
Prompts I Start With
How I explain AI to students, staff and family: Think of AI as a new friend, you need to tell them a little about yourself so they get to know and understand you. To do that, you need to build a good introduction and save it somewhere. When using AI, cut/paste this intro to help speed up your prompting.
Examples:
I am a 2nd grade teacher with 24 years of experience. I teach in St Louis, MO and have 24 students in my classroom. My strengths are using technology and connecting learning to the outside world. I love reading great stories to my students that have deeper meanings. I have a macbook air and an ipad. My students have iPads. I also have access to an instructional coach.
I am a 9th grade social studies teacher with 2 years of experiences. I teach in St Louis, MO and have about 24 students in each of my classes. My two classes I teach are American government and world history. My strengths are using technology and connecting the past to the world today. I have a windows laptop and all my students have lenovo chromebooks. I also have access to an instructional coach.
For the video below I used both of the above prompts and added in: I want to create a quick 20 minute lesson to teach my students about the partial eclipse that is happening later in the day.
Curriculum Ideas
All of the videos below were done quickly and I am sure if I was sitting with a grade level representative the prompts would be designed in more depth.
For the video below I took the 2nd grade prompt, a priority standard and the curriculum related to it in Canvas and dumped it into ChatGPT to help me create a five day unit with assessments.
I was asked to come in to all the English 3 classes and teach the students how to use WeVideo to create something like they would find on Crash Course.
