Why teachers should explore ChatGPT’s potential

I’d have the students each type the same prompt into chatgpt. For example, let’s say it’s about George Washington. They have an initial prompt and can ask up to 5 additional questions.

Once that is done, they write a report on this topic, using what chatgpt told them. They submit the report and the chatgpt log.

Teacher reviews/grades as normal, but also checks for inconsistencies.

The students who have conflicting information can lead a class discussion about this topic about who’s accurate.

The class can vote, and the teacher can reveal the truth.

Great way to have an interactive class and demonstrate that chatgpt should not be blindly trusted.

I sent an email to my superintendent saying we are doing the students a disservice by preventing them from accessing them instead of showing them how to use them. Got a nice email back but no promises and no changes.
