With this blog post, I wanted to question what benefits chatgpt has to offer for teachers.

After reading what chatgpt had to say I would also agree with its points. Personally as a teacher as see chat and AI being helpful in time-consuming tasks that don’t require personalization. Additionally, I find chatgpt a great place to give example lessons that maybe you would use. Still, it can be nice for a new teacher to see an example and then be able to build a new example maybe taking aspects or simply using it as a place to start your creative process and allow for it to aid in the spark of your own ideas. 

I wanted to further see what chatgpt could do for me as a teacher, so I asked it to make me a grade 3 spelling test and practice page. This was super cool to see be done as this is a simple task that could be time-consuming as a new teacher if you don’t already have pre-made sheets from past years and Chat was able to make it in seconds. Watching this happen was incredibly cool and good for my future career.

Additionally, I wanted to try the same idea but with the numbers side of things because I often see chatgpt used for writing and words but I don’t see the use of numbers as often. Same with the words just like that it was able to create a resource for me.
