Teachers face increasing demands on their time, from lesson planning and assessment creation to parent communication and administrative tasks. This session introduces educators to the free version of ChatGPT as a practical tool to improve efficiency and enhance instructional practices.
Participants will learn how ChatGPT differs from familiar tools such as Google Search and Google Drive, and how it can generate customized materials rather than simply locating information.
Through live demonstrations and guided practice, educators will explore how ChatGPT can support: lesson planning and instructional design, assessment and rubric creation, differentiation and scaffolding, communication with families and colleagues, routine administrative tasks
Session Objectives By the end of the session, participants will: understand how ChatGPT functions and how it differs from traditional search tools, identify multiple ways ChatGPT can save time and improve workflow, practice using effective prompts to generate classroom-ready materials, evaluate appropriate and responsible uses of AI in education
