In my 1:1 meeting with Meika she mentioned that the slides feature on Brisk has improved. I decided to create the text for the slides using ChatGPT as I usually do. I then copied the whole response to my clip board and pasted it into the Brisk AI Slides Generator. The Generator was able to format everything exactly how I wanted it to, saving me even more time!

Given the wide range of reading abilities in my class, a feature allowing me to rapidly adjust a single lesson's text to various reading levels would be invaluable. Additionally, I suggest incorporating sentence starters for the written response answers to help scaffold student thinking.

Since I was able to change the reading level to match the majority of my class, students followed along easily. The activities were short but impactful. After doing the review lesson and given the test, students showed a stronger understanding of the topics covered with the DIFFIT review than other reviews.

I noticed the rubric that was created was very wordy but comprehensible for an adult. My students like to read the rubric and the comments that I write on their work. To generated a more desirable rubric, I asked the platform to make the rubric "more student friendly."  Now the categories and details are condensed, straightforward, and easier to read and understand from a student's perspective.

My next step will be to specify the criteria needed for the exit ticket so that it will be more personalized for my class.

I usually create my own rubrics, but I wanted to use Gemini to ease the load of everything else I needed to do before school ended. I generated a prompt by stating the grade level, subject, standard, and worksheet questions I required in the rubric. I also typed that it should be a 4 point scale and gave the requirement of "giving a detailed explanation using math vocab." The platform was able to organize the rubric into a table with criteria and qualifications for each scale point.

It has some similarities with the other tools we've used but I do like how the format of the worksheets especially after they were printed. It has a slides feature as well. I'm still exploring it but so far it seems cool. 

The first task I wanted to try was the worksheet generator. It had an option for a Math puzzle, similar to a color by number worksheet. Once students completed a math problem, their answer reveals what color a section of the picture should be colored. The worksheet is also editable. I can rearrange the sections and add more problems like multiple choice, open ended, or word problems. The worksheet also has an answer key which I love!

I was tasked with creating a script for our holiday program. Every year, we have two students MC the program. I usually create the script on my own, but I wanted to see if I could use an AI tool as a reference. The prompt I used was, "Create a Christmas script for 3 student MCs. In the script, include family and kid friendly holiday jokes that will entertain the audience. The script will also introduce performances from Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade." I was able to generate a lot of ideas by adjusting the prompt by including a Candy Cane Lane theme and requesting funnier jokes. I was able to cut down my prep time, which is a huge success.

CON: Although it was great there were some responses that I didn’t agree with the grading/score the AI tool gave them. Sometimes it gave students a lower score than I would manually and especially when it came to not having a rubric but having an exemplary response. Sometimes in my curriculum a rubric is not always given. I noticed that when I provided the exemplar response for a 4 in terms of mastery the AI tool did not work so well. Sometimes it gave students a really high score when all they did was write a claim and some very low detailed evidence and no reasoning. Then sometimes it gave students that I know always score higher in their responses a lower level score when they had the specific information and details I was looking for. So for some I still had to manually check and double check their responses and the grading to see if I agree or disagreed which took a good chunk of time as well. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.GEAz0qHI
I was a bit skeptical and I decided to give it a shot. So I used google gemini to grade some of my student’s work. I provided the rubric first that was given to me in my science curriculum on how to get a 0 to 4 in terms of mastery of standard. And then I provided the students' responses. It worked out pretty great. I was able to give students meaningful feedback and see step by step a checklist of what they included and not included based on the rubric. It was super easy and straightforward and saved me so much time in grading and giving feedback. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.wB2DRuV8
Recently I had a lot of grading to do. This is the year I have some of my biggest classes and it has made it honestly harder to keep up with grading specifically written responses. Some of these assignments included grading CER’s, written explanations for exit ticket questions, and even responses for midterms. These are especially difficult since I always add meaningful feedback for students in terms of the progress they are making like the pros and cons that they should work on to progress towards mastery of standards. I have heard that AI can help you grade and even give feedback for student work.

Modifying the prompt allowed each list to be aligned with the specific phonemic awareness skills taught in each grade and it provided text that were appropriate to each grade. For example, I was able to find decodable chapter books for students in 3rd and 4th grade. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.wB2DRuV8
I used chat GPT and Gemini to compile a list of recommended decodable books that our school could acquire to support phonemic awareness and instruction. My first prompt requested recommendations for k-4, and then I modified the prompt to generate 3-4. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.0Nvrl1I8
I noticed that in this prompt Chat GPT offered 10 recommendations while gemini offered 4. This is important as I am learning which AI platform can be more supportive in the classroom.

I applied one of the strategies from chat gpt that recommended a CPA progression. This meant starting with concrete (manipulatives), then Pictorial (pictures or drawings), and then connecting it with Abstract ( numbers and symbols). I use manipulatives, but I don't always have students make drawings of the situations occurring in the problems so I added this strategy as an additional tool to support students. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.wB2DRuV8
