Use Magic Padlet to generate classroom content curated to your subject, grade level, and specifications.

In 1962, acclaimed science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Our passion and our pursuit have always been to create tools that prove this rule right.

When you upload a large attachment, we want the speed to feel miraculous. When you automatically generate a slideshow, we want it to feel like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. When you type a prompt into I can't draw, we want you to feel like a wizard, casting a powerful spell.

For our next trick, we plan to make teachers' time spent creating lessons disappear. The technology behind the curtain is called Magic Padlet, and it can generate completed padlets full of classroom content in seven different formats.

How to start

To use Magic Padlet, select Make a padlet from your dashboard, then select the green button in the top right corner of your screen.

You'll be prompted to select one of seven formats, all of which are explained below.

Lesson plan

All teachers know the value of a good lesson plan, and all good teachers know how much work it takes to make one. Delegate that work by entering your class information, and watch the magic happen.

Use the additional details field to add any specific instructions. Include standards to align with or a specific class duration.

The lesson plan that is generated should serves as a perfect starting point for a teacher to complete a final version. Magic Padlet is a teacher's ideal creative collaborator.

Map of historical events

For visual learners and history buffs, the map of historical events is the perfect way to depict the layout of history. Simply enter your subject, the event you want you outline, and the grade level you instruct.

The historical events will be placed in their corresponding physical location on a map padlet. For additional information about each event, click the marker to read the post.

Use the additional details field to instruct Magic Padlet on the information or events it should choose. Ask for battles or treaties. Ask for quotes or summaries. Magic Padlet will do its best to accommodate your wishes.

Timeline of events

To outline a specific sequence of events, choose Timeline of events. This option will generate posts in a straightforward timeline format, making it the perfect tool for history lessons or biographies.

Once again, provide Magic Padlet with your class and subject information, and select "Create."

Use the additional details field to request major discoveries or collapses. Request births or deaths. Triumphs or defeats, it's all up to you.

Reading list

Historians and English teachers will understand the value of the reading list immediately. They should be thrilled to learn that with Magic Padlet you can generate reading lists curated for one or multiple grade levels.

You can ask for children's books, classic historical novels, textbooks, or published papers.

Think of Magic Padlet as the ultimate librarian's assistant. With complete access to every text on the internet, you need only to suggest a subject, and Magic Padlet will point you in the right direction.

Classroom activities list

Activities are valuable in the classroom because they capture and retain student attention while making learning fun and interactive. Now you can generate classroom activities on Magic Padlet.

You can request games or competitions within the classroom, or scavenger hunts outside it. You can even generate an online show and tell.

You can also tell Magic Padlet what resources you have in the classroom so that they can be incorporated into activities. Let Magic Padlet know if you have a whiteboard, iPads, or good old-fashioned pencil and paper.

Assessment polls

No class would be complete without assessments, and Magic Padlet is here to provide them for you.

Assessment padlets use Padlet's poll attachment to generate 2-4 answer multiple-choice questions that your students can answer.

You select your subject, difficulty, standards, and you forget about how long it used to take you to write quizzes.

Custom board

The final option is freeform. There is no imposed structure. Just state your role and describe the padlet you want to see. Magic Padlet will write in the voice of the role you provide, and attempt to actualize whatever vision you lay out.

You can ask Magic Padlet to use the wall, map, or timeline format, and you can ask it to use or omit sections. You can also ignore specifics and outline your vision. Magic Padlet will do its best to decide which format to use and whether to use sections.

Think of the custom board as a means to manifest your imagination on the screen. Let your ideas flow, and let Magic Padlet do all the heavy lifting.

Teachers can use the artificial intelligence tool to effectively automate some routine tasks.

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot trained to understand typed prompts and generate content that sounds human, is the fastest-growing web platform ever. For a couple of months, I've assessed how ChatGPT handles dozens of common teacher tasks. It's not perfect, but the chatbot can reduce the 10 hours and 40 minutes a day that the average teacher works by automating the first drafts of our most time-consuming professional writing.

In the paragraphs that follow, I've divided these tasks into the following categories: planning instruction, handouts and materials, differentiation, correspondence, assessment, and writing instruction and feedback. Welcome to the revolution.

Category 1. PLANNING INSTRUCTION

Unit outline:When you align its output with the Common Core State Standards, the AI tool is able to craft a unit outline for any grade level, subject, or timeline.

Lesson plans:Ask ChatGPT to write a lesson plan on, say, Westward Expansion. The tool composes assessments, activities, scaffolding, and objectives. Want that in the form of problem-based learning or revised for a flipped classroom? ChatGPT can adjust the lesson plan according to your instructions.

Slide shows: When directed to outline a slide show for any topic and grade level, ChatGPT creates an intuitive organization and adds formative assessment questions if requested.

X-factor instruction: When I asked ChatGPT to devise a "challenging and creative approach to teaching metaphors" to students, the tool described an activity that involved integrating student-created metaphors into original stories conveyed through visual genres (e.g., a comic strip, a storyboard).

Simplify topics:Having difficulty articulating an advanced concept? Ask ChatGPT to "explain the topic to a first grader." Here's the tool's simplified explanation of chloroplasts: "Chloroplasts are little green things inside plant leaves that help the plant make its own food. They are like tiny factories that use sunlight, air, and water to make the plant's food."

Discussion questions: Use ChatGPT to write engaging, higher-order prompts for a class discussion on any topic.

With its mighty language processing and generation capabilities, ChatGPT can streamline planning when you're developing the following assets:

Category 2. HANDOUTS AND OTHER MATERIALS

Develop instructionsthatdescribe cooperative learning roles and expectations.

Generate assignment directions with a detailed overview, grading criteria, a description of the required format, and task details.

Create solved examples of math problems, chemistry equations, etc., with explanations of each step.

Build a prereading or advance organizerby extracting critical and unfamiliar vocabulary from a chapter and listing keywords with their definitions.

Provide word problems-for example,using ratios: ChatGPT gives the problem, the formula for solving it, and a full explanation of the procedure.

Compose a syllabus (boilerplate) that includes a course schedule, late-work policies, and a description of how assignments will be graded.

Make flash cards with questions and answers.

Produce posters that list classroom rules, 10 reasons why algebra is important to the students' future, or the 20 most common writing errors of high school students, with short definitions and examples included.

Perhaps ChatGPT's biggest time feature is that it can generate text for materials and handouts that target your specific instructional needs. It can do the following:

Category 3. DIFFERENTIATION

Need a choice boardfor an art activity? Boom, done. Ask ChatGPT to create a passage, chapter, or book summary for students who need support. The tool can also function as a text compactor that analyzes readings and creates more concise and condensed versions. Furthermore, the AI will generate differentiated rubrics for an assignment so that each heuristic emphasizes customized expectations and levels of challenge.

Category 4. PROFESSIONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Using ChatGPT, teachers can streamline communication with parents, colleagues, and administrators via AI-composed welcome-to-class letters, newsletter copy, volunteer and donation requests, supply lists, grant and field trip proposals, assembly programs, and permission sheets.

Category 5. ASSESSMENT

Quizzes:AskChatGPT to create tests on specific topics using any type of question format. Paste a passage into the chatbot or identify the title and chapter of a classic piece of literature, and the AI will produce a test bank and answer key.

Rubrics: ChatGPT will compose a rubric for any type of student performance. Depending on the needs of the user, examples include analytic, holistic, and developmental rubrics, as well as rating scales.

Checklists: The tool can develop an observation checklist to document students' academic, social, emotional, and physical progress.

Cloze tests: ChatGPT can create a Cloze comprehension test, where words are removed from a passage, and the reader is asked to fill in the blanks to test their understanding of the main ideas, vocabulary, and sentence structure of the passage.

With careful oversight, teachers can use ChatGPT to quickly create a variety of assessment materials.

Category 6. Writing Instruction and Feedback

Prompt generator:The tool can compose writing prompts for any genre and include a corresponding rubric.

Essay improvement: Submit sections of student writing to ChatGPT, and it will suggest enhancements.

Grammar feedback: When kids make grammar errors, teachers can direct ChatGPT to define, describe, and identify how to improve the error and also provide examples.

With ChatGPT's assistance, teachers can improve their students' writing skills through a range of tools and features.

While ChatGPT amplifies our pedagogy and automates routine tasks, it's easy to overlook its greatest weakness: The tool always sounds authoritative, even when disseminating inaccurate content. Erroneous and polished bloviation pops up in human communication as well. Nevertheless, we must check all AI-produced information for accuracy and usefulness before it reaches students.

The chatbot's prose represents another shortcoming. Without clear directions from the user, it comes off as canned, like it was written by an algorithm, when a prerequisite for uplifting, informing, and empowering students and school stakeholders is correspondence that sounds like you, not Wikipedia. Using ChatGPT responsibly means always viewing its compositions and curricula as first drafts.
