ChatGPT for Teachers: 7 Time-Saving Hacks You Need to Know

I use it for a lot of the same reasons as you and others have said and listed, but I get a lot of mileage out of it when contacting families. Most of the parents and guardians I contact cannot speak English and while I typically understand the emails sent to me, having it translate their emails into English and providing me insight on nuanced language helps me understand their concerns for their children on a deeper level. Instead of just using Google Translate I can get a more culturally knowledgeable and nuanced breakdown that Google Translate cannot give to me.

This video was really helpful! I use ChatGPT to modify lesson plans or build assets like graphic organizers for them. Recently I built secondary source learning station handouts for a lesson about the pseudoscience of the Scientific Revolution. I uploaded a PDF of those documents into ChatGPT and then asked it to create a list of questions for a formative Kahoot quiz at the end of the lesson. I've also used it a few times to create a teacher answer key for Cloze Notes or a graphic organizer to make whole class review easier for me.

This is why I am homeschooling my kids. lol

I use ChatGPT to write lyrics for a song for each student on their birthday. Then I use SUNO to put it to music!! It’s been a huge hit!

FERPA, bruh… 🪦

Thanks for your advice🤓. I can’t wait to try with next week’s text chapter🤓.

The idea of treating ChatGPT as a C+ level assistant is the perfect mindset for teachers, it takes the weight off drafting the basics so we can focus our energy on the actual teaching

SLOPPITY SLOP!!!!!!!

Thank you for this! Very helpful! I am a professor and I’m really passionate about creating interesting but sometimes I don’t have the time to go find an interesting video or study to show students. I’m still using my brain but saving time!

This assumes that the point of education is just to generate a product. If I get a whole thread of emails, I owe it to those on the thread to read and respond myself. As for lesson plans, a bot can be trained to know content, but not my students. A lot of this just sounds like letting the bot do a little too much of the teacher's job.

Do you have chat GPT plus to do all this. Great video, very useful. Thank you.

Tip Number 1: DON'T.

I'm using Aİ to differentiate levels of reading text and creating essays for students at A1, A2, B2 etc level .

honestly speaking. chat gpt is not in par with individual teacher ‘s creative questions especially for cbse / neet / jee questions

chat gpt cannot replace teacher ‘s creating thinking to set a qp .
can you debate ?

The problem with using chat gpt for email is that it’s creating the expectation that we can respond to 50 emails eloquently in a short amount of time. Long live the terse but personal reply.

I use it for emails, lesson plans, scaffolding, class dojo, brainstorming, creating tests or worksheets… it’s amazing.

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

I uploaded my schools, scope and sequence documents into ChatGPT, along with my general parameters and my style teaching, and I am using all of that to make my weekly lesson plans.

I too have begun using ChatGPT even though I school uses another program. I like ChatGPT because it seems more intuitive. I use it to create email templates to use throughout the school year. I have used it to help with hooks for the lesson; create slides to present the lesson; refresh an old syllabus and parent letter. Come up with new activities for a lesson.

I teach 8th grade math.

Right now, I’m spending a substantial amount of time training ChatGPT like a student teacher. My focus is curriculum. I’m teaching it the various places where I pull resources like a collage artist. I’m also working with ChatGPT to create assignments, quizzes, tests, handouts, extensions, and anything else I may need where my current curriculum falls short.

I’m noticing that the more I work with it, the less I’m having to tweak what it produces to make it more like my style, and the big piece that has been helping here is: when ChatGPT creates something, I adjust it so it’s more in my style, and then I show ChatGPT what I did and explain why. My goal here is to be able to create strong curricular additions immediately.

Thank you for posting this video. Because of what I saw here, I’d like to take a crack at using ChatGPT to save time responding to email, and getting some strong sub plans put together.

I use AI tools to create information heavy emails for parents. I copy/paste info from multiple pages on the school website, pdfs, and from admin emails into an app and ask for a short, detailed email that answers the 6 W and H questions in a way that is easily understandable for parents with bullet points rather than paragraphs where possible. Final item in my prompt is a call to action. Huge time saver.

I have every reading passage remade for 3-4 levels, including questions and expectations. Same content and questions, different levels, everyone included.
