"In a realm where knowledge meets innovation, school libraries are embracing the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reimagine the educational landscape and empower students in unprecedented ways."

That quote isn't from a teacher or a librarian or an expert in the field, although it does come directly from the source. It was written by ChatGPT, the AI-powered chatbot that has captured imaginations-and stoked fears-over the impact machines that seemingly can think for themselves might have on the future of just about everything, including education.

Most readers would be hard-pressed to discern whether that first sentence was written by a human or AI. So perhaps it's understandable why so many school leaders had an initial knee-jerk response.

"It was a very fearful reaction of like, 'Oh no, everybody is going to cheat,'" says Richard Culatta, CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education. "But what has happened as the educator and librarian community has really started to explore the possibilities is that this has huge potential for education. This isn't just a cool new website. This is a real tool."

That response has played out at the macrolevel. Almost as soon as it appeared, some of the largest school districts in the country, including Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York City, banned access to ChatGPT, citing fears over the ease with which students could cheat.

Some districts have already reversed their decisions. In New York City, Department of Education chancellor David C. Banks wrote that the city's initial response "overlooked the potential of generative AI to support students and teachers."

"If you play around with it, you're like, is this thing alive? It truly seems to be understanding and manipulating language," says Maya Bialik, who teaches seventh-grade science outside of Boston.

Before moving to the classroom, Bialik was a researcher at the educational nonprofit Center for Curriculum Redesign, where she literally wrote the book on artificial intelligence in education, so she's not surprised by the initial reaction of many educators. "Definitely at first there's fear. A teacher even asked me, 'Should I be afraid?" I showed her how to use it and she became a total power user."

AI is certainly complicated. It's a powerful tool that is seemingly advancing by the day, and while some teachers and librarians might fear it, there's no hiding from the impact it will have on learning.

Clearing up misconceptions

Overcoming fear starts with understanding, and there's a lot to unpack when it comes to artificial intelligence.

First, while ChatGPT is new, AI is not. The idea of machines that can think for themselves was first proposed in 1950 by the British mathematician Alan Turing. AI was popularized in science fiction, most notably in the murderous form of HAL 9000 in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey . But reality proved far less scary in the form of IBM's computer chess AI program, Deep Blue, which defeated world chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997.

At its most basic, AI is an advanced computer system that can process vast amounts of data to solve problems. ChatGPT and others like it are a special type of AI called large language models that are trained through exposure to huge quantities of text-billions of pages collected from websites, tweets, news stories, and more-and utilize natural language processing not only to understand human words and phrases but to generate human-like responses.

These new generative AI programs can create almost anything an individual can think of, and text is only the tip of the iceberg. There are already AI-powered tools that make artwork, photorealistic images, video, and music, all from a simple prompt.

Culatta says he recently worked with students using a tool called Stable Diffusion, a text-to-image AI program. "Students were working on a project creating a city of the future. I said, go in and have Stable Diffusion generate the image of what you're creating." The results wowed kids and adults alike.

These tools can also make the lives of teachers and librarians a lot easier, turning tasks that usually take hours into minutes. There are programs to write lesson plans, make flashcards, and create tests. In addition to using AI tools in her classroom, Bialik has created her own, QuestionWell, which generates questions for everything from exit tickets to multiple-choice quizzes and creates multiple versions of a test for student retakes.

It's not only small developers bringing AI to classroom technology. In July, Khan Academy announced a partnership to integrate its AI student tutor and teaching assistant, Khanmigo, with Instructure's learning management system, Canvas. The tool is designed to offer personalized support to students and help teachers write lesson plans, create rubrics, and even provide feedback on student essays.

The possibilities are exciting-and overwhelming. And librarians can and should play an important role in figuring out how exactly this technology can enhance student learning.

Developing AI literacy

Joni Gilman is the media specialist at Seckinger High School in Gwinnett County, GA. Her school is part of a cluster where AI is being incorporated into all areas of learning, kindergarten through 12th grade.

Gilman says she views AI tools as collaborative partners, helping to make her job more streamlined. She's used ChatGPT to brainstorm lesson ideas and for help making reading suggestions.

"Students think we've read every book in our collection. But I can ask [AI] for an engaging summary of a book, or help creating different promotional things to grab student attention, whether it's a social media post idea or giving book recommendations," Gilman says.

Gilman is already imagining a library where AI could "help us create better collections when we're making book orders. AI can give us a diversity audit, tell us where we have holes in our collection, look at usage data to find emerging topics, and make better book orders. It can help us with weeding and resource allocation."

She's quick to add that "nothing is going to replace that human interaction when talking about books with an expert." In large part that's because AI isn't perfect. ChatGPT is only trained on data up to September 2021; a lot of its responses aren't current. Once, Gilman says, it recommended a book that didn't exist, an AI phenomenon called a hallucination.

Since ChatGPT and other AI tools aren't connected to the school's library system, recommendations aren't always available in the collection, but even that will change soon. Accessit, a library management system that Gilman's school uses, is planning to give customers access to a third-party AI tool called Talpa Search, an experimental program that can help students find a book they're looking for, even if they don't know the name of it.

"For example, the user might search for 'book about dragons with a red cover,' and Talpa would then search multiple databases to find options that fit this search," wrote Sarah Jordan, chief customer support officer at Accessit, in an email. "You can see which results are in your library that you can borrow, as well as other books which fit your search criteria."

AI will be more than just a tool, however. Schools will also need to consider how to teach students to be critical users and prepare them to live in a world where they will be learning and perhaps, one day, working alongside AI.

School librarians are perfectly suited for this new role.

"They have experience curating content, they have a creative, physical space to host kids and teachers to try things out, and, by the nature of their job, they interact with nearly every faculty member and every student," Culatta says. "It's the perfectly written job description for a person to help a school explore a new tech geared to creating content."

Much in the way librarians evolved from teaching traditional literacy to training students in media and digital literacy, the next step is AI literacy. Just like learning the skills to effectively search an online database, students will need to learn how to converse with AI to get the best research results and to distinguish between what's real and what's AI generated.

"There is so much out there that students will find that won't be true or will be fake," Gilman says. "It's going to be key for librarians to build that bridge and help students better understand what they are finding on the internet."

That's easier said than done. Teaching students how to critically assess where information comes from is a crucial part of information literacy, but almost an impossibility when it comes to AI. It's one of the reasons that make Sara Kelley-Mudie, a librarian and educational technology specialist at Beaver Country Day, an independent school in Newton, MA, anxious about the technology.

"How do we ask students to be ethical consumers of information when it's easier and easier to just get an answer and not actually be able to trace it to its origins?" she says. "I teach students how to investigate sources, trace claims and quotes, and that's really hard to do with generative AI, especially because it feels so authoritative."

Opportunities and challenges

Although fears that AI might overthrow humanity are overdramatic at this point, there are certainly areas for concern, especially when it comes to students and issues of privacy, bias, and cheating.

In terms of bias, Bialik acknowledges it is a worry. But she also points out that human beings can be just as problematic, if not worse. Bialik holds a master's in Mind, Brain, & Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and says she is consistently shocked to hear teachers make sweeping, biased statements about students.

"In psychology, you gather data and make sure it's not tainted. But in teaching, you don't have time for that, and there's a lot of shortcuts that are full of bias," she says.

"At least on systems, when it becomes codified, you can see the bias," Culatta adds. "When a teacher is making decisions that are biased, there's no way I can get an audit of that. When you have a system making recommendations with bias, at least in that case you can review and do something about it."

Even privacy concerns aren't so black and white. "It's easy to say all data should be private," Culatta says. "But then when you peel it back, what if a student is at risk? Or what if I can tell through an AI interaction that a student is struggling with a math concept and AI can alert a teacher about that and make sure they aren't lost? Understanding where protections should be is critical, but it's not binary, either completely private or completely open."

When it comes to cheating, anxiety has been particularly high within the humanities where, for the first time, students have access to what is essentially a calculator for natural language. Some educators are already using Winston, a detection tool that determines if student work was created via ChatGPT or other AI large language models. Meanwhile, other disciplines have been dealing with this issue for years-from students using Photomath (photomath.com/en) to solve algebra problems to completing world language assignments with the help of Google Translate.

Educators have had to rethink instruction with those tools in mind, says Kelley-Mudie. Now the rest of the field will have to do the same. Or as Culatta puts it, if there's a concern about cheating, the problem is not with the AI tool, but with the assessment.

For example, an assignment to write an essay about the American Revolution is easily answered with the help of ChatGPT. Strategically, a teacher could assign students to actually have ChatGPT write multiple essays about the American Revolution and then go through each one to critique, find mistakes, and fill in information that the AI program may have overlooked.

Another solution for teachers is to put the focus on how students document their process. For a research seminar she taught last spring, Kelley-Mudie had students include acknowledgements in addition to works cited. Alongside sources, students referenced all the things that inspired or helped them, including AI tools.

"Not in a gotcha way but in a reflective way," Kelley-Mudie says. "The final product is great, but we really should care about the steps they took to get there."

Gilman agrees that bringing AI into the open is the right way to make it a tool for learning rather than cheating. At her school, teachers are already talking with students about how ChatGPT can be a collaborative partner to provide feedback, removing any excuse for not turning in a revised essay.

But Gilman also recognizes other areas of concern. She says equity is going to become an important issue for student access when tools like ChatGPT, which are currently free, begin to charge a fee. She also says the ability to create lifelike deep fakes has the potential to be very harmful to students from a bullying perspective. Schools will need to have policies in place to address these kinds of hazards.

Despite the risks, Gilman still says that AI and "the benefits of it, the things that it can do, are just mind-blowing."

And what does ChatGPT have to say about it all?

"As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or desires. The decision of whether to use AI models like ChatGPT in schools ultimately rests with educational institutions, policymakers, and educators. It is important to carefully consider the benefits, risks, and ethical considerations associated with AI implementation in educational settings. Open discussions, thorough evaluations, and informed decisions should guide any choices regarding the use of AI technology in schools."

A human couldn't have said it better.

AI in the Future of Teaching and Learning

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today, many priorities for improvements to teaching and learning are unmet. Educators seek technology-enhanced approaches addressing these priorities that would be safe, effective, and scalable. Like all of us, educators use AI-powered services in their everyday lives, such as voice assistants in their homes; tools that can correct grammar, complete sentences, and write essays; and automated trip planning on their phones. As a result, educators see opportunities to use AI-powered capabilities like speech recognition to increase the support available to students with disabilities, multilingual learners, and others who could benefit from greater adaptivity and personalization in digital tools for learning. They are further exploring how AI can enable writing or improving lessons, as well as their process for finding, choosing, and adapting material for use in their lessons.

Educators are also aware of new risks. Useful, powerful functionality can also be accompanied with new data privacy and security risks. Educators recognize that AI can automatically produce output that is inappropriate or wrong. They are wary that the associations or automations created by AI may amplify unwanted biases. They have noted new ways in which students may represent others' work as their own. They are well-aware of "teachable moments" and pedagogical strategies that a human teacher can address but are undetected or misunderstood by AI models. They worry whether recommendations suggested by an algorithm would be fair. Educators' concerns are manifold.

Everyone in education has a responsibility to harness the good to serve educational priorities while also protecting against the dangers that may arise as a result of AI being integrated in educational technology.

NEW!! Report on AI and the Future of Teaching & Learning

Key Insights

AI enables new forms of interaction. Students and teachers can speak, gesture, sketch, and use other natural human modes of communication to interact with a computational resource and each other. AI can generate human-like responses, as well. These new forms of action may provide supports to students with disabilities.

AI can help educators address variability in student learning. With AI, designers can anticipate and address the long tail of variations in how students can successfully learn-whereas traditional curricular resources were designed to teach to the middle or most common learning pathways. For example, AI-enabled educational technology may be deployed to adapt to each student's English language abilities with greater support for the range of skills and needs among English learners.

AI supports powerful forms of adaptivity. Conventional technologies adapt based upon the correctness of student answers. AI enables adapting to a student's learning process as it unfolds step-by-step, not simply providing feedback on right or wrong answers. Specific adaptations may enable students to continue strong progress in a curriculum by working with their strengths and working around obstacles.

AI can enhance feedback loops. AI can increase the quality and quantity of feedback provided to students and teachers, as well as suggesting resources to advance their teaching and learning.

AI can support educators. Educators can be involved in designing AI-enabled tools to make their jobs better and to enable them to better engage and support their students.

Recommendations: Call to Action for Education Leaders

Recommendation #1: Emphasize Humans in the Loop

We reject the notion of AI as replacing teachers. Teachers and other people must be "in the loop" whenever AI is applied in order to notice patterns and automate educational processes. We call upon all constituents to adopt Humans-in-the-Loop as a key criteria.

Recommendation #2: Align AI Models to a Shared Vision for Education

We call upon educational decision makers, researchers, and evaluators to determine the quality of an educational technology based not only on outcomes, but also based on the degree to which the models at the heart of the AI tools and systems align to a shared vision for teaching and learning. The figure to the right describes the important qualities of AI models for education leaders to consider.

Recommendation #3: Design Using Modern Learning Principles

Achieving effective systems requires more than processing "big data"-it requires more than data science. Applications of AI must be based on established, modern learning principles, the wisdom of educational practitioners, and should leverage the expertise in the educational assessment community around detecting bias and improving fairness. Going forward, we also must seek to create AI systems that are culturally responsive and culturally sustaining, leveraging the growth of published techniques for doing so. Further, most early AI systems had few specific supports for students with disabilities and English learners and we must ensure that AI-enabled learning resources are intentionally inclusive of these students.

Recommendation #4: Prioritize Strengthening Trust

Technology can only help us to achieve educational objectives when we trust it. Yet, we learned through a series of public listening sessions that distrust of educational technology and AI is commonplace. Because trust develops as people meet and relate to each other, we call for a focus on building trust and establishing criteria for trustworthiness of emerging educational technologies within the associations, convenings, and professional organizations that bring educators, innovators, researchers, and policymakers together.

Recommendation #5: Inform and Involve Educators

We call on educational leaders to prioritize informing and involving educational constituents so they are prepared to investigate how and when AI fits specific teaching and learning needs, and what risks may rise. Now is the time to show the respect and value we hold for educators by informing and involving them in every step of the process of designing, developing, testing, improving, adopting, and managing AI-enabled educational technology. This includes involving educators in reviewing existing AI-enabled systems, tools, and data use in schools, designing new applications of AI based on teacher input, carrying out pilot evaluations of proposed new instructional tools, collaborating with developers to increase the trustworthiness of the deployed system, and raising issues about risks and unexpected consequences as the system is implemented.

Recommendation #6: Focus R&D on Addressing Context and Enhancing Trust and Safety

Research that focuses on how AI-enabled systems can adapt to context (diversity among learners, variability in instructional approaches, differences in educational settings) is essential to answering the question "Do specific applications of AI work in education, and if so, for whom and under what conditions?" We call upon researchers and their funders to prioritize investigations of how AI can address the long tail of learning variability and to seek advances in how AI can incorporate contextual considerations when detecting patterns and recommending options to students and teachers. Further, researchers should accelerate their attention to how to enhance trust and safety in AI-enabled systems for education.

Recommendation #7: Develop Education-Specific Guidelines and Guardrails

Data privacy regulation already covers educational technology; further, data security is already a priority of school educational technology leaders. Modifications and enhancements to the status quo will be required to address the new capabilities alongside the risks of AI. We call for involvement of all perspectives in the ecosystem to define a set of guidelines (such as voluntary disclosures and technology procurement checklists) and guardrails (such as enhancements to existing regulations or additional requirements) so that we can achieve safe and effective AI for education.

Listening Sessions

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology, with support from Digital Promise, held listening sessions about Artificial Intelligence (AI). We connected with all constituents involved in making decisions about technology in education, including but not limited to teachers, educational leaders, students, parents, technologists, researchers, and policy makers.

The goal of these listening sessions were to gather input, ideas, and engage in conversations that will help the Department shape a vision for AI policy that is inclusive of cutting-edge research and practices while also informed by the opportunities and risks.

The MLA's method for citing sources uses a template of core elements-standardized criteria that writers can use to evaluate sources and create works-cited-list entries based on that evaluation. That new technologies like ChatGPT emerge is a key reason why the MLA has adopted this approach to citation-to give writers flexibility to apply the style when they encounter new types of sources. In what follows, we offer recommendations for citing generative AI, defined as a tool that "can analyze or summarize content from a huge set of information, including web pages, books and other writing available on the internet, and use that data to create original new content" (Weed).

You should

cite a generative AI tool whenever you paraphrase, quote, or incorporate into your own work any content (whether text, image, data, or other) that was created by it

acknowledge all functional uses of the tool (like editing your prose or translating words) in a note, your text, or another suitable location

take care to vet the secondary sources it cites (see example 5 below for more details)

See below for specific examples. And keep in mind: the MLA template of core elements is meant to provide flexibility in citation. So if you find a rationale to modify these recommendations in your own citations, we encourage you to do so. We've opened this post up for commenting, so let us know what you think and how you're using and citing generative AI tools!

Using the MLA Template

Author

We do not recommend treating the AI tool as an author. This recommendation follows the policies developed by various publishers, including the MLA's journal PMLA.

Title of Source

Describe what was generated by the AI tool. This may involve including information about the prompt in the Title of Source element if you have not done so in the text.

Title of Container

Use the Title of Container element to name the AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT).

Version

Name the version of the AI tool as specifically as possible. For example, the examples in this post were developed using ChatGPT 3.5, which assigns a specific date to the version, so the Version element shows this version date.

Publisher

Name the company that made the tool.

Date

Give the date the content was generated.

Location

Give the general URL for the tool.

Example 1: Paraphrasing Text

Passage in Source

Paraphrased in Your Prose

While the green light in The Great Gatsby might be said to chiefly symbolize four main things: optimism, the unattainability of the American dream, greed, and covetousness ("Describe the symbolism"), arguably the most important-the one that ties all four themes together-is greed.

Works-Cited-List Entry

"Describe the symbolism of the green light in the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald" prompt. The Great Gatsby ChatGPT, 13 Feb. version, OpenAI, 8 Mar. 2023, chat.openai.com/chat.

Example 2: Quoting Text

Passage in Source

Quoted in Your Prose

When asked to describe the symbolism of the green light in The Great Gatsby, ChatGPT provided a summary about optimism, the unattainability of the American dream, greed, and covetousness. However, when further prompted to cite the source on which that summary was based, it noted that it lacked "the ability to conduct research or cite sources independently" but that it could "provide a list of scholarly sources related to the symbolism of the green light in The Great Gatsby " ("In 200 words").

Works-Cited-List Entry

"In 200 words, describe the symbolism of the green light in The Great Gatsby" follow-up prompt to list sources. ChatGPT, 13 Feb. version, OpenAI, 9 Mar. 2023, chat.openai.com/chat.

While we've provided fairly detailed descriptions of the prompts above, a more general one (e.g., Symbolism of the green light in The Great Gatsby prompt) could be used, since you are describing something that mimics a conversation, which could have various prompts along the way.

Example 3: Citing Creative Visual Works

If you are incorporating an AI-generated image in your work, you will likely need to create a caption for it following the guidelines in of the MLA Handbook. Use a description of the prompt, followed by the AI tool, version, and date created:

Fig. 1. "Pointillist painting of a sheep in a sunny field of blue flowers" prompt, DALL-E, version 2, OpenAI, 8 Mar. 2023, labs.openai.com/.

You can use this same information if you choose to create a works-cited-list entry instead of including the full citation in the caption (see MLA Handbook, sec. 1.7).

Example 4: Quoting Creative Textual Works

If you ask a generative AI tool to create a work, like a poem, how you cite it will depend on whether you assign a title to it. Let's say, for example, you ask ChatGPT to write a villanelle titled "The Sunflower" that-you guessed it!-describes a sunflower and then quote it in your text. Your works-cited-list entry might look like this:

"The Sunflower" villanelle about a sunflower. ChatGPT, 13 Feb. version, OpenAI, 8 Mar. 2023, chat.openai.com/chat.

If you did not title the work, incorporate part of or all of the first line into the description of the work in the Title of Source element:

"Upon the shore . . ." Shakespearean sonnet about seeing the ocean. ChatGPT, 13 Feb. version, OpenAI, 8 Mar. 2023, chat.openai.com/chat.

For guidance on using descriptions and text from the work itself in the Title of Source element, see the MLA Handbook, 5.28 and 5.29.

Example 5: Citing Secondary Sources Used by an AI Tool

You should also take care to vet the secondary sources cited by a generative AI tool-with the caveat that AI tools do not always cite sources or, when they do, do not always indicate precisely what a given source has contributed. If you cite an AI summary that includes sources and do not go on to consult those sources yourself, we recommend that you acknowledge secondary sources in your work.

For example, let's say that you ask Bing AI to explain the concept of the political unconscious, citing sources, and it provides the following answer:

Let's say that you then decide to quote from the final sentence. You need to click through to the source listed in the note in order to get more information than just a URL for the source. There, you will read the following:

Now, you can treat Oxford Reference as your source since Bing AI was merely a research conduit to the source (see MLA Handbook 5.34 for more information). If for some reason you want to treat a source cited in a generative AI tool as an indirect source-and you know it is, in fact, the source for the information provided by the AI, follow the guidance in section 6.77 of the MLA Handbook.

Note

1. At the time of writing this post, ChatGPT doesn't have a built-in feature to create a unique URL to the conversation. However, an outside tool like the Chrome extension ShareGPT can generate such a link. If you use that type of outside tool, include the unique URL that the tool generates instead of the general URL.

DALL-E allows users to download the AI-generated images they create or generate a publicly-available URL that leads to an image. If you choose to create a shareable link for an image you generate with DALL-E (or other similar AI image generators), include that unique URL that leads to the image instead of the general URL.

APA According to an email exchange between Joy Hansen, CCSU and Stefanie Lazer, APA Style Expert at styleexpert@apa.org (2/9/2023):

The APA Style team is currently collecting feedback so that they can construct official guidelines. What follows is interim guidance and should not be considered the final word.

Because the purpose of references is to direct readers to the specific sources that a writer used, hopefully the text that ChatGPT generates in any particular chat can be saved, is shareable, or is otherwise retrievable. If so, the reference format in Section 10.10 (Software) can be used, with the company ("OpenAI") as author, not "ChatGPT." If the chat has no title, a description in square brackets (that ideally includes information on what prompts were used) would be created. That would give us the following:

OpenAI. (2023, January 17). [ChatGPT response to a prompt about three prominent themes in Emily Dickinson's poetry]. https://chat.openai.com/.....

If the text that ChatGPT generates is not retrievable or sharable, then it falls into [the] catch-all "personal communication" category, where you cite with an in-text only citation: "(OpenAI, personal communication, January 16, 2023)." However, this is not an entirely satisfactory option, especially because the technology is so new, so both students and instructors are learning about this resource and how to ethically use it. Consider, then, making the ChatGPT conversation retrievable by including the text as an appendix or as online supplemental material. If you do so, then readers may be referred to the appendix or the online supplemental material (where the ChatGPT response may be contextualized) when the ChatGPT conversation is cited. It would be good practice to describe, in the narrative or a note, the prompt that generated the specific ChatGPT response. This too will help inform the understanding of the technology and its outputs.

Guide to ChatGPT for Parents and Caregivers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By Raisa Masood | August 30, 2023

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate text. Launched by research company OpenAI, it gathers large amounts of data from the internet to create responses on demand. ChatGPT is unique because its answers are in conversational format, similar to how people write and speak. It can write essays and computer code, solve math problems, and much more.

How do you use ChatGPT?

To use ChatGPT, you first create a free account on the OpenAI website. Then you simply type questions or commands in the text box. Your requests can be as basic or elaborate as you can imagine. For example, you could ask it to write a story in the voice of your favorite movie character. Or ask it to give you a recipe based on the food you have at home. The tool allows you to continue to refine the answer by adding more instructions. ChatGPT saves a record of your conversations that you can view or continue at a later time.

Where does ChatGPT get its information?

To craft its responses, ChatGPT copies and remixes information from other places on the internet. It doesn't tell you its sources or who created the original information. As of this article's publication date, it uses internet data created up to 2021 only. The tool is still being developed, so it can make mistakes, spread misinformation, and give inaccurate answers.

Why are schools banning ChatGPT?

Many school districts are blocking ChatGPT on campus networks and school-issued devices. The concern is that students could use it to do their schoolwork for them, from writing papers to solving equations. They could also be turning in work with inaccurate information. Educators are worried the program could affect students' learning if they rely on it. Check with your children's school to see if and how they allow students to use ChatGPT.

Should children use ChatGPT?

OpenAI's Terms of Use state that users must be 13 or older. If you're under 18, you need your parent or guardian's permission to create an account. Keep in mind that kids could come across content that's not age-appropriate. In addition, ChatGPT collects personal information and user data. This info is used to improve the system and can be shared with third parties for things like advertising. Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), collecting personal information from children under the age of 13 is illegal without parental consent.

If kids are interested in using ChatGPT, the best option is to use it alongside an adult. Kids could use ChatGPT with a parent or caregiver to get ideas about things they're interested in, like writing code or music. Families can explore the tool together and try prompts that are fun, inspiring, or helpful. Ask it to write a play with parts for everyone, or put together a poem in Yoda's style to read out loud.

Since ChatGPT is a new program, there's a lot we don't know about it. As artificial intelligence tools become more available, it will be important for families to talk with kids about how to use them appropriately and responsibly.

How can I talk to my child about ChatGPT?

If your children use or want to use ChatGPT, consider talking about these topics:

Explain the importance of checking the credibility of a source before trusting the information, and point out that ChatGPT does not give sources for its information.

Help them understand that plagiarism is when you take someone else's work or ideas and present them as your own. Using ChatGPT to do your schoolwork could be considered plagiarism or cheating.

Talk about how you might use ChatGPT as a family to be creative or get inspired. Have it create a list of outdoor activities for kids, or ask it to suggest a craft project to try.

10 AI tools beyond ChatGPT that can save teachers time.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
AI tools can make teachers' lives easier and help them teach more efficiently, says Lance Key.

"We're just scratching the surface right now with what we're going to be able to do with AI," he says. "If we do it right, we'll be able to help kids, and they'll be able to have opportunities that they didn't have in the past."

Key is an award-winning educator and support specialist at the Putnam County School System in Cookeville, Tennessee. He focuses on helping teachers incorporate technology into their classrooms and has delivered more than 400 professional development presentations across the country.

He sees educators using more and more AI (artificial intelligence) tools for teaching, and recommends a few to consider. He excludes the hyper-popular ChatGPT from the conversation because we've got a feeling you may have already heard about that one.

"MagicSchool AI is really a great resource to help teachers prepare to teach," Key says. The AI-powered tool is designed to save teachers time and help prevent teacher burnout by assisting them as they differentiate, write assessments, write IEPS, communicate, and more.

"If I need a lesson plan written, it will write out a detailed lesson plan for me," Key says.

This tool from Meta AI Research allows people to create a drawing, upload an image of that drawing, and then have that image come to life in animation. Key says this is a favorite new tool of his and there is tons of potential for it in the classroom as what child wouldn't want to see their drawing animated.

"Canva now has AI built into it," Key says. "I can go to Canva and I can tell it to build me a presentation about digital citizenship, and it will build me a slideshow presentation." The Canva AI tool won't do all the work. "I'm gonna have to go edit and fix a few things on it," Key says, however, it can provide a solid foundation to build on for many presentations. It also has a tool called Magic Write, which will write first drafts of emails, captions, or other posts for teachers.

Another good platform for creating first drafts of presentations is Curipod, Key says. "It is like a Nearpod or like a Pear Deck, and it's got a feature in it that you give it your topic and it will build out that presentation," Key says. The tool is geared toward education and lets you choose the grade levels for your presentation. However, it is limited to five presentations per starter account at one time.

A third tool Key recommends for creating presentations is SlidesGPT. Though he noted it is not quite as fast as some of the other options, it is very thorough in its slideshow creation skills. In our recent review, we found that it was impressive overall, except the platform suffered from some of the inaccuracies and mistakes we've come to expect from AI-generated content at this stage.

This is an AI test and quiz builder that can integrate with some learning management systems, allowing teachers to create quizzes on command. "You can say, 'I want a five-question quiz about the harmful use of tobacco' and it will build you out a five-question quiz that you can import straight into Google Classroom."

This is a visual whiteboard that works with ViewSonic and is one that Key regularly uses. "A teacher can draw a picture on her board, and then it gives her images to select from," he says. ESL teachers who Key works with have been particularly drawn to it. "It's been really neat because they've been working with our students on image and word recognition," he says. "So they could draw a picture in there and have the kids try to guess what it is. We have a lot of fun with that."

Runway is an image and movie generator that can quickly be used to create engaging videos with impressive green screen and other special effects. It's designed for teachers looking to make more engaging content for their students, and one that Key' and his colleagues frequently use.

Adobe Firefly is an AI image generator that also allows users to edit the image. "Adobe can make fliers and things for you just by typing in what you're looking for," he says. This can cut down on presentation or other types of teacher prep, but it can also be a fun tool to explore with students.

Another tool Key recommends is TeachMateAi, which provides educators with a suite of AI-powered tools that generate various teaching resources. It is designed to make teaching prep and other administrative tasks associated with the job easier, so teachers can focus on time with students.

To see the full schema and try examples yourself, check out our API documentation.

Our classifier returns a document-level score completely_generated_prob that specifies the probability the entire document was AI-generated. We would recommend using this score when deciding whether or not there is a significant use of AI in generating the text.n our validation dataset, here is how the results change when you set all documents with completely_generated_prob under the threshold as human, and above as AI:

At a threshold of 0.88, 85% of AI documents are classified as AI, and 99% of human documents are classified as human

At a threshold of 0.5, 96% of AI documents are classified as AI, and 96% of human documents are classified as human

We recommend using a threshold of 0.88 or higher to minimize the number of false positives, as we think it is currently more harmful to falsely detect human writing as AI than vice versa.

Additionally, we highlight sentences that been detected to be written by AI. API users can access this highlighting through the highlight_sentence_for_ai field. The sentence-level classification should not be soley used to indicate that an essay contains AI (such as ChatGPT plagiarism). Rather, when a document gets a MIXED or AI_ONLY classification, the highlighted sentence will indicate where in the document we believe this occurred.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Anna Bernstein is a prompt engineer at Copy.ai, which makes AI tools to generate posts and emails.

Her job is to write prompts to train the bot to generate high-quality, accurate writing.

Here are three tips on how to write prompts to get the best outcomes from AI.

This as-told-to essay is based on conversations with Anna Bernstein, a 29-year-old prompt engineer at the generative-AI firm Copy.ai based in New York. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
When I was a freelance writer and historical-research assistant, I spent a lot of my time scrolling through microfiche in libraries. Now I'm a prompt engineer helping to optimize the most cutting-edge technology in the world.

My journey into prompt engineering began in the summer of 2021, when I met a guy at a jazz bar who, at the time, worked for Copy.ai, which makes an AI tool that can generate copy for blogs, sales emails, and social-media posts.

He mentioned that Copy.ai - run on OpenAI's GPT-3 language model - was having some trouble with the quality of its outputs and asked if I wanted to take a stab at being a prompt person. I didn't like the stress of freelancing - plus, it seemed fascinating - so I said yes, even though I was an English major and had no background in tech.

Soon after, I got offered a one-month contract to work on executing different types of tone. At first, I barely knew what I was doing. But then the founder explained that prompting is kind of like writing a spell: If you say the spell slightly wrong, a slightly wrong thing could happen - and vice versa. Taking his advice, I managed to come up with a solution for better tone adherence, which led to a full-time job offer at the company.

Since then, the scope of my job has grown. I now help improve existing tools and create new ones with the goal of getting the AI to spit out the best responses for users.

In practice, I spend my days writing text-based prompts, which I can't reveal due to my NDA, that I feed into the back end of the AI tools so they can do things such as generate a blog post that is high quality, grammatically correct, and factually accurate.

I do this by designing the text around a user's request. In very simplified terms, a user types something like, "Write a product description about a pair of sneakers," which I receive on the back end. It's my job, then, to write prompts that can get that query to generate the best output through:

Instruction, or "Write a product description about this."

Example-following, or "Here are some good product descriptions, write one like this about this."

In addition to the pure prompt-engineering part of my job, I also advise on how the models behave, why they might behave the way they do, which model to use, whether we can make a specific tool, and what approach we should take to do that.

I love the "mad scientist" part of the job where I'm able to come up with a dumb idea for a prompt and see it actually work. As a poet, the role also feeds into my obsessive nature with approaching language. It's a really strange intersection of my literary background and analytical thinking.

The job, however, is unpredictable. New language models come out all the time, which means I'm always having to readjust my prompts. The work itself can be tedious. There are days when I'm obsessively changing and testing a single prompt for hours - sometimes even weeks on end - just so I can get them to work.

At the same time, it's exciting to not know what's coming next.

Aside from people at parties not understanding my job, one of the big misconceptions I've noticed around AI is the idea that it is sentient when it's not. When it tries to talk about being an AI, we freak out because we see so many of our fears reflected in what it's saying. But that's because it's trained on our fears informed by scary, sci-fi depictions of AI.

While writing good prompts is easy to pick up, it's difficult to master. Getting the AI to do what you want it to do takes trial and error, and with time, I've picked up weird strategies along the way; some of my prompts are really wild in structure.

Here are some tips that can help you develop better prompts:

1. Use a thesaurus

Don't give up on a concept just because your first wording didn't get the result you want. Often, the right word or phrasing can unlock what you're doing.

2. Pay attention to your verbs

If you want the AI to fully understand your request, make sure your prompt includes a verb that clearly expresses your intent. For instance, "Condense this," is more powerful than, "Rewrite this to be shorter."

3. ChatGPT is great at intent, so use that

Introduce what you're trying to do clearly from the beginning, and play around with wording, tense, and approach. You can try, "Today, we're going to write an XYZ," or, "We're trying to write an XYZ and we'd like your input." Putting an umbrella of intent over what you're doing is always useful, and playing around with different ways to do that can make a big difference.

Welcome to the world of chatbots and language models. Are you frustrated with inconsistent and unreliable responses from your chatbot? This guide will provide you with the tools to write more effective prompts for ChatGPT. By following these tips, you can improve the accuracy and usefulness of your chatbot

1. Start with a clear goal: Determine what you want the chatbot to achieve through the prompt. This could be providing information, guiding the conversation, or solving a problem. If your question is vague, your answer will be vague.

2. Keep it concise: Keep the prompt brief and to the point. Avoid using unnecessary words or information that will confuse the chatbot or delay the response. "This is a robot, not a person, so there's no need to be polite. 'Write a paragraph about X' is more efficient than 'Can you please write me a paragraph about this thing called X?' Both prompts may generate similar responses, but the latter is a waste of time. To get good output, revisions are often necessary. It's more effective to spend time giving orders to improve the work of the robot instead of being overly polite."

3. Use natural language: Write the prompt in a way that is easy to understand and uses everyday language. This makes it easier for the chatbot to understand the context and respond appropriately.

4. Avoid ambiguity: Ensure that the prompt is specific and avoids ambiguity. Avoid using words with multiple meanings or phrases that can be interpreted in different ways. If it starts generating something you don't like, hit stop, and rephrase your prompt.

5. Provide context: Provide enough context so that the chatbot understands the context of the conversation and can respond accordingly. If you have multiple instructions, but aren't sure if ChatGPT understands you, you can ask it to analyze your prompt. Like this.

6. Avoid open-ended questions: Avoid asking open-ended questions that have no clear answer. This can lead to irrelevant or confusing responses from the chatbot.

7. Use keywords: Use keywords in the prompt that are relevant to the topic of the conversation. This helps the chatbot to understand the context and respond appropriately.

8. Be specific: Be specific about the information you want the chatbot to provide. Avoid asking general questions that could have many possible answers.

9. Test your prompts: Test your prompts with the chatbot to see how it responds and make any necessary changes. This helps to refine the prompt and improve the overall experience for the user. Stop it early it you don't like the answer.

10. Keep it simple: Keep the prompts simple and easy to understand. Avoid using complex language or technical terms that may confuse the chatbot or the user.

Writing effective prompts for a chatbot requires a clear understanding of the goals, context, and language used in the conversation. By following these tips, you can improve the quality and accuracy of the chatbot's responses and enhance the overall user experience.

Some unique things you can ask Chat GPT

ChatGPT isn't just a question-and-answer bot. It can do a lot of powerful things. Here are some examples.

1. Generate creative writing: You can ask ChatGPT to generate a story, poem, or a piece of fiction.

100 prompts for teachers to ask ChatGPT- by Alice Keeler

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ChatGPT and AI models are going to be everywhere. Like Google changed how we get information. AI is going to change how we work. The trick is how to ask ChatGPT questions that will help you get the most use out of an AI chatbot. Here are some prompts you might want to ask ChatGPT to help you with teaching:

Using ChatGPT

It is important to start a new chat when changing topics. ChatGPT is a CHAT bot. So you can ask it to write a lesson plan. It will. Then respond "modify it to be in the format of the 5 E's lesson plan model." ChatGPT will know what "it" is referring to because it is in the same chat. Have a full on conversation with the chatbot to keep refining your requirements to get something that is useful. You can use multiple sentences with multiple parameters. Do not think that you are restricted to one sentence or a short prompt.

Always fact check ChatGPT.

ChatGPT will happily make stuff up. It gave me a research article citation that did not exist. It keeps referring to "learning styles" even though this has been debunked for years. When I asked it to write a bio about me, it was mostly true but said I authored a book I had not written. So always FACT CHECK!

You are responsible for the quality of what you put in front of children.

ChatGPT will spit out cliches, debunked practices, low quality activities of filling out worksheets, low engagement, low critical thinking suggestions. Should we be giving students random questions on a topic and calling it a test or quiz? ChatGPT is amazing for helping you get started but ultimately you must evaluate the validity of the content and also apply solid pedagogy to ensure students are getting a high quality education. "Create a 10 question multiple choice quiz on frogs" will possibly result in busywork. Instead ask ChatGPT to help you go beyond using technology to make worksheets faster. Ask it to help you with more creative and engaging practices. Of course, evaluate how engaging and creative those practices are and modify for your classroom.

Prompts for Teachers to Ask ChatGPT

Interact with Parents

Why am I leading with this? I see some social media posts that parents are the worst part of teaching for some teachers. The key is really good communication. ChatGPT can help with that!

If you are an elementary teacher using ChatGPT to save time in your classroom, I have some tips for prompt writing to help you get the best output for writing lesson plans, creating activities and problem sets, and more!

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a type of language model, specifically a transformer-based language model, which is trained on a large dataset of text. It is not a chatbot, but it is typically used as a tool for generating text. is ChatGPT can be used by teachers to save time when planning lessons, creating activates, or even for administrative "housekeeping" purposes.

I've shared some of my favorite ways to use ChatGPT in this post and I've since received many questions asking for more information about how I "ask" ChatGPT to do the tasks I've shared.

What is a Prompt in ChatGPT?

A prompt is a statement or question that is given to ChatGPT to guide its output. The prompt is the starting point for ChatGPT's response, and it can be used to generate a wide variety of outputs such as text, dialogue, or creative writing. The prompt serves as a way to give ChatGPT a specific task or question to answer, and it can be used to control the output in a number of ways.

In the ChatGPT home screen, you enter the prompt in the small box at the bottom of the screen. The important thing to note is as of this publishing, that box is SMALL. It looks like it would only fit one line. This leads many to input a prompt in the same way you might search Google. Don't do this! While the box LOOKS small, you can paste detailed, multi-line prompts into the box.

For example, a prompt can be used to specify the topic, style, or tone of the output. It can also be used to give context or background information that ChatGPT can use to generate a more accurate or detailed response. By providing a clear and specific prompt, you can help ChatGPT to understand what you are looking for and generate an output that is tailored to your needs.

ChatGPT Prompts Should Include

I use a Google Doc to store my prompts in a folder titled ChatGPT Prompts. I use a separate Doc for each prompt to keep it organized. After writing my prompt, I copy and paste the whole thing into the input box on ChatGPT.

Writing Prompts in ChatGPT - Best Practices for Teachers

To get the best output from ChatGPT, it's important to write clear and specific prompts. Here are a few things to keep in mind when writing prompts for ChatGPT:

Be specific about the task or question you want ChatGPT to answer. For example, instead of asking "Write a story about a dragon," you might ask "Write a story about a dragon that is friendly and helps a group of lost travelers."

Provide context for the task. This can include information about the setting, characters, or background of the story or activity. For example, you might ask ChatGPT to "Write a news article about a new school being built in the city, include information about funding and community support."

Use specific words and phrases to guide the output. For example, if you want ChatGPT to generate a story that is humorous, you might include words like "funny" or "laugh" in the prompt.

Use clear and simple language when writing the prompt. ChatGPT is a powerful tool, but it can't read your mind. Be sure to use language that is easy to understand, and avoid using jargon or complex vocabulary.

Be mindful of the age and skill level of your students. Keep in mind that ChatGPT's output may not be appropriate for young children or students with limited reading and writing skills. Be sure to review the output and make any necessary edits before sharing it with your students.

Use placeholders instead of student data. Do not sure student names or otherwise identifying information. For example use fake names in ChatGPT then use "replace all" in Google Docs, Excel, Word.

Basic ChatGPT Prompt Template for Teachers

To give you an idea of what a good prompt for ChatGPT would look like, here is the template I use:

"Write a __________" Here I specify type of writing - email, blog post, narrative, descriptive paragraph, word problem etc.]

Audience: I tell ChatGPT who the piece of content is for...children, parents, elementary teachers, etc. I might even further specify with a description such as "parents of primary age children."

Tone:

Output: Here I tell it what exactly I want the output to look like. A numbered list? A table? A paragraph? A 500 word essay? etc.

Include: Here I list any additional things I want the output to include. For example, if I am writing a lesson plan, I may tell it to include the CCSS or to use the acronym "SWBAT." I write out each additional ask separately. Think of it like you are telling or giving details about the task to an intern or assistant.

Sample Word Problem Prompt for ChatGPT

Here is an example a simple prompt I used for math and my edits:
A couple things to note... You will notice I specified "diverse names." This is because I have noticed it often will default to using male names like Michael, John, etc. for any problem! You can see it included them here too but it did at least use Luna and Sarah. But I often end up changing them. You can also add as a bullet the list of names you want it to include to avoid that!
I also like to have it list the CCSS if I'm grabbing problems because it sort of checks that the AI understood what I was looking for. You can also add the CSS in your "include" section to keep it on task.
I asked for 10 problems and got 5. This can happen. You can just say "write 5 more" in the prompt box below to continue to build off the output. The AI does best when instructions are written in the positive versus telling it what "not" to do.
Rewriting, Editing, and Further Adjusting the ChatGPT Output

One of my favorite things about ChatGPT is the ability to further refine the output. I rarely accept what it gives the first time. Below the output, I give feedback or ask for additional information. Sometimes I will realize I was not clear the first time, so I will ask for changes.

I use the terms "rewrite with..." "rewrite and change..." or "add..." to adjust the output.

By following these tips and using clear and specific prompts, you can get the most out of ChatGPT and create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for your students. Remember, ChatGPT is a tool to help you, but it's always important to review the output and make any necessary adjustments before sharing it with your students.

Background

State standards are the learning goals for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Until now, there were only a few models of state-developed cybersecurity standards and no national standards specific to cybersecurity.

This was an impediment to both curriculum developers and teachers on the ground - with students ultimately losing out on the opportunities presented by a robust cyber education.

CYBER.ORG staff members have served on multiple standards development committees and have gained extensive insight from writing cyber curricula, leading professional development, and supporting educators across the country. Over the past year, CYBER.ORG facilitated collaboration among experts from K-12, higher ed, government, and industry, collectively developing the first national set of K-12 cybersecurity learning standards.

This lesson also gave my students the opportunity to see that there is an element of opinion in classification systems. Later, when we started to see how bias can end up in AI, I was able to pull them back and remind them that the data used to train their models was based on choices.
