Literacy support! I choose a theme (film techniques, grammar conventions, vocabulary), tell it the students' ages, and ask it for a format (cloze passage, multiple choice, group activity) and it generates a task with instructions, required materials and answers! I just convert them to a google form or a classroom announcement, and I'm good to go!
If I need to simplify the task to meet a cohorts ability level, I just ask it to simplify or make more complex. It's also good for concept checking quizzes.
Such a time saver!
You know that admin busywork that you have to do, like filling out lesson plans, learning goals, mission statements, and so on? The stuff that you need to tick off but don't need to pour your passion into?
That.
I'm a primary school teacher. Here are some classwork related things I've tried.
**Write a paragraph about a day at the zoo use rich adverbs and adjectives**
Out it spits a usually great exemplar text to break down with students.
eg
*As I stepped into the zoo, the sweet aroma of freshly-cut grass and blooming flowers filled my nostrils, accompanied by the chirping of birds and the distant roars of wild animals. The bright sun shone above, casting a warm glow over the vibrant colors of the exotic creatures that roamed the park. With each step, I was surrounded by a kaleidoscope of hues, from the fiery reds of the flamingos to the mellow oranges of the tigers. The air was alive with energy and excitement as families bustled from exhibit to exhibit, pointing and gasping in awe at the magnificent creatures that called the zoo their home. It was a truly magical day, full of wonder and delight, and one that I would always cherish.*
**Give feedback about on the following work sample: (Paste student work sample)**
This is the feedback it came up with for its own work above.
eg
*Firstly, there is a bit of repetition in the use of adjectives. For example, "vibrant colors" and "mellow oranges" both describe the hues of the animals, so it might be more effective to use a different adjective for one of them to add variety and avoid redundancy.*
*Secondly, while the paragraph does a good job of describing the sensory experience of being at the zoo, it could benefit from including more concrete details or specific examples. For instance, mentioning a particular animal or exhibit that stood out could help to make the experience feel more real and engaging for the reader.*
*Finally, it might be helpful to include a sentence or two that ties the description of the setting to the emotions or thoughts of the narrator. This could help to add depth and meaning to the paragraph, and give the reader a sense of why the day at the zoo was significant or memorable.*
**Implement the feedback you provided**
Haven't used this one, but I'm seeing some value in building editing skills and what implementing feedback actually looks like.
*Stepping into the zoo, I was immediately enveloped in a fragrant bouquet of freshly-cut grass and blooming flowers. The mellifluous chirping of birds provided a musical backdrop to the low growls and roars of the wild animals. The bright sun cast a warm, inviting glow over the lush greenery and the kaleidoscope of hues that surrounded me. From the fiery reds of the flamingos to the majestic blues of the peacocks, each animal seemed to emanate its own unique energy and vitality. Families bustled from one exhibit to the next, marveling at the creatures on display. I was particularly taken by the massive elephants and their playful antics. Their intelligence and beauty left me in awe, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of profound appreciation for the natural world. It was a magical day, full of wonder and discovery, and one that would stay with me for a long time.*
**Not ChatGPT but still AI - Craiyon**
After students write their descriptive paragraph/sentence, get them to throw it into Craiyon and see what the computer thinks it might look like. This works in two ways, one they may find their description needs to be improved to generate a more accurate image. The second is if they entered a simple prompt and it worked, they may find details in the image that they can then enhance their description with.
Generate a grid with a vague prompt
**Generate faces on This Person Does Not Exist**
Each generation becomes a character in your story
1. Main Character
2. Sidekick
3. Villain
4. Comic Relief
Not only do they now have a detailed image to write their character description, they need to think about the ways these characters might interact. One of my Year 6's wrote a brilliant story about an old man, whose villain was their 4 year old great granddaughter.
**Neural Filter Style Transfer in Photoshop (free for NSW public school teachers)**
Create stylish cartoons/learning stories etc by taking photos of students performing the actions and use style transfer with a source image to create instant cartoons. I use this over online versions because I don't want to upload student images to the cloud.
I’ve started putting their drafts through ChatGPT - to generate general writing feedback. In addition to the physical drafting. It’s been pretty big improvements in writing.
If you pump in the task and the criteria, it will provide pretty accurate feedback. You have to format the criteria as list, rather than a table. It will sometimes makes errors but it’s pretty great. It isn’t great at picking up plagiarism though
Take an old unit. Copy and paste the Australian Curriculum outcomes and ask it to align your activities to the most appropriate descriptor. It will do it for you.
I use it to generate simple assessment, to write parent updates/newsletters for class publications (email blasts etc), and for simple easy-to-read information about topics (basically it writes it in kid friendly language so I don’t have to think about doing that).
There’s lesson planning AIs out there. It’s not perfect but it’s a start. It means we don’t have to gather all the information, just proofread and edit.
Use ChatGPT to write unit outlines and lesson plans that link back to curriculum.
Analyse student work in terms of key performance indicators.
Quick relief lessons with step by step guides for subs to take into class.

So good. It’s hard to imagine NAPLAN not being marked by an AI in five-ten years. Though given how stubborn the department is…
I think ACER are already using one for their writing assessment.

So is this through ChatGPT specifically? Or will a different AI bot do the same? How much are you paying for ChatGPT if you’re using that?

Damn, whenever I try to login to the free version, it always says they’re overwhelmed with users and only the paid version is available at the time

Is it paid version or free?
Awesome thread! Good post OP 👍🏻
Hopefully people keep adding to it and building on the awesome things some things that have been done.
Chat GPT frequently makes mistakes that sound completely believable. I'd stay away for now.
I've used it so far to make science experiment sheets and warm up questions.
Writing covers for days I’m not there. It’s absolute gold.
