GenAI in Education
Here you will find a range of different ways that you can use ChatGPT and Gen AI tools in class to personalise learning, create lesson content and ideas, save time, and more.
I have used the TOP Approach to using GEN AI to structure my prompts to ensure a better output from ChatGPT. They may not always be perfect and may need to be edited to suit your needs. Also remember to check what ChatGPT creates; it may need refining or editing before it is ready to be used.
Fun bowling name generator
Ask ChatGPT to write a code that can be embedded into Google Sites that creates fun names for a staff bowling social!
(T) You are a teacher at a school who wants to create fun names for a bowling social event.
(O) Create me a piece of code that I can embed into Google Sites that creates fun bowling names.
(P) Ask the user to input their name. Generate them a fun bowling name. Make sure there are 100 different fun names that you will choose from.
How could you also use this idea in the classroom?
GenAI for word banks, vocabulary lists and definitions
Ask ChatGPT to create word banks and definitions in ANY language and at ANY level!
(T) You are a Year 5 teacher who needs to create a word bank for <lesson>
(O) Create me a word bank of 20 words linked to the National Curriculum that I can give to my students.
(P) Include a definition of each word. Set it out in a clear table (also write the words and descriptions in Spanish, French, etc)
Now create this for the less able in my class, or for an EAL learner who struggles with language. Add in the specific needs of your class or pupils for personaised learning.
