C123 (Application): Our Learning Journey with ChatGPT

Confessions of a PYP Teacher

Good afternoon to my favorite people, I’ll just call you my Lu Crew. If you haven’t guessed, I’m your host, Lu Gerlach from thinkchat, and I am having fun with today’s episode. As we end 2023, I want us to think about where technology has greatly exploded this past year and where it is rapidly going in the years to come. We cannot pretend that it won’t change our roles as educators. Of course it will. At the same time, we need to look at AI as a partner in getting information more quickly and sometimes more accurately.
We have known for quite some that the internet is the depository of information and we are the facilitators of meaning making. Our role will require us to know how to engage with the technology to gain the maximum output. With this in mind, we are going to explore our new relationship with ChatGPT in this episode and challenge ourselves to start using it tomorrow.
Before we begin, I want to be clear that our goal is meaning making. More is not more. For ChatGPT to be effective in our practice, we need to know how to engage it successfully. Here is my attempt in modeling the process while making some mistakes along the way. I will present my prompt, ChatGPT responses, and my commentary of the answers.
Let’s get started!
