Chat GPT for Teachers: Innovation That Excites

This is a rough digital lesson plan format that Chat GPT produced when I asked: produce a lesson plan format that I can use digitally every week for the following subjects: reading, science, social studies, religion, and math in table form.

Section	Description
I. Introduction
Date	[Insert date]
Subject	[Reading, Science, Social Studies, Religion, or Math]
Objectives	[List specific learning goals for the lesson]
Materials	[List any materials needed for the lesson]
II. Warm-Up	[5-10 minutes]
Activity	[Brief description of the warm-up activity to engage students]
Purpose	[Explain the purpose of the warm-up activity and how it relates to the lesson objectives]
III. Main Activity	[30-45 minutes]
Content	[Brief description of the main content to be covered during the lesson]
Teaching Strategy	[Describe how you will teach the content and engage students in learning]
Assessment	[Describe how you will assess student understanding of the content]
IV. Review and Closure	[5-10 minutes]
Summary	[Brief summary of the main content covered in the lesson]
Reflection	[Opportunity for students to reflect on their learning and ask questions]
V. Homework	[Assign relevant homework that reinforces the content covered in the lesson]
VI. Notes	[Any additional notes or observations from the lesson can be recorded here for future reference]

I then followed that lesson plan format up with: using this format of a lesson plan, make me a science lesson for 1st graders about learning the differences between opaque, transparency, translucency and follow it with a scavenger hunt activity that requires the students to pair up with a partner and find objects in the room that are examples of each. It generated: (this is a lesson I observed earlier today)

I. Introduction:

• Date: [Insert date]
• Subject: Science
• Objectives:
  • Students will be able to define opaque, transparent, and translucent objects.
  • Students will be able to identify objects in the room that are examples of each.
• Materials:
  • Examples of opaque, transparent, and translucent objects (e.g. a book, clear plastic container, and frosted glass)
  • Scavenger hunt worksheet (one per pair of students)

II. Warm-Up:

• Activity: Introduction to Opaque, Transparent, and Translucent Objects
• Purpose: To engage students in learning about the differences between opaque, transparent, and translucent objects and to provide background knowledge for the scavenger hunt activity.

III. Main Activity:

• Content: Students will learn the definitions of opaque, transparent, and translucent objects.
• Teaching Strategy: The teacher will show the students the examples of opaque, transparent, and translucent objects and ask the students to guess which one is which. The teacher will then explain the definitions of each and show additional examples.
• Assessment: The teacher will ask questions throughout the lesson to check for understanding and ask students to give their own examples of each type of object.

IV. Review and Closure:

• Summary: The teacher will review the definitions of opaque, transparent, and translucent objects and ask the students to give an example of each.
• Reflection: The teacher will ask the students to think about how they can use this new information in their everyday lives.

V. Homework:

• Assigned: The students will draw a picture of an opaque, transparent, and translucent object and write a sentence about each.

VI. Main Activity:

• Content: Scavenger Hunt
• Teaching Strategy: Students will work in pairs to complete a scavenger hunt worksheet that requires them to find objects in the room that are examples of each type of object.
• Assessment: The teacher will check the students’ worksheets to ensure that they have found appropriate examples of each type of object.

Using Chat GPT for creating data collection on student behavior.

I asked it to: produce a table that evaluates behavior for each student in a class of 20 that I can use to collect data on the individual students.

Student Name	Date	Class Period	Behavior Evaluation
[Student 1]	[Insert Date]	[Insert Class Period]	[Insert Evaluation (e.g. Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)]
[Student 2]	[Insert Date]	[Insert Class Period]	[Insert Evaluation (e.g. Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)]
[Student 3]	[Insert Date]	[Insert Class Period]	[Insert Evaluation (e.g. Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)]

I really enjoyed using chat GPT, especially the ease of using the software without too much instructions. As long as I provide the general information regarding what I want, it provides a great number of responses and tables that answers my prompt perfectly. I always find it extremely cool that I can continue on with the conversation as if it is a person. For example, I first asked Chat GPT my first prompt to just create the lesson plan. After it generated the response, I went back and added “In a table format” right after, without any other prompts, and it put the exact lesson plan into a table. This is very intuitive, and I find it to be very advanced and groundbreaking for future teachers.
