Investigate the potential of AI in your practice
In this lesson, you’ll discover many exciting ways that educators are tapping into AI tools to advance their teaching practice. Three key benefits will be discussed: time-savings, differentiation, and lesson enhancement. Fictional educator scenarios are used to provide helpful context as you prepare for upcoming activities in this course. You’ll also learn some helpful tips for completing the activities. In addition to the activities hosted directly on the Teacher Center site, this course will ask you to perform tasks in the AI tool of your choice, such as Gemini or ChatGPT. The instructions for these activities will be written for Gemini, which is freely available, but select whichever tool you like. Keep in mind that different tools may produce different results — getting an output that doesn’t match the activity is OK, as long as you review it to make sure it’s accurate and useful.

Matilda’s initial prompt:

 I am a 12th grade language arts teacher. Generate a document in template form that my students can use to sign-up for classroom responsibilities.

Step 3: Enter the prompt

Enter the prompt into the AI tool of your choice, and consider how it could be improved.

Step 4: Iterate on the prompt

Continue iterating on the prompt until you reach Matilda’s original objective: a template that her students can fill out to sign-up for classroom responsibilities.
