Session description

Discover the power of the prompt, a method to communicate with generative AI in a way that's tailored to your specific needs as an educator. Craft prompts to have ChatGPT write personalized emails, design engaging lessons and create student behavior plans to make GPT tools work for you!

Purpose & objective

As schools struggle to fully staff classroom assistant and teaching positions, the workload of current teachers is driving many teachers and school administrators to the breaking point where they consider leaving education for good. Learning to craft prompts in free GPT tools can, quite simply, ease the "work" of teaching and better ensure classroom success. One example: with one well-crafted prompt, World Language teachers can create sample passages at the appropriate difficulty level nearly instantly. Teachers struggling to keep up with grading can use GPT tools to help provide feedback on student work. Participants in this session will leave with prompts entered into their Geneartive AI tool of choice
