Worked with Monica and had a slightly different result.

I used the student tool "Make it Relevant" to provide relevance and real-world context for a current math skill (Inductive Reasoning). I described my students as being interested in gaming. The reply included examples of how when encountering an enemy in a video game, you begin to recognize its attack patterns, and you develop a strategy to efficiently defeat it.

One of the greatest obstacles in the Theology classroom is generating student "buy in," particularly when some students have little-to-no prior experience with Catholic education.

This tool — having plugged in a brief summary of our current course content and a brief demographic description of our students — was able to give a few paragraphs that connected key ideas to key social experiences the students have (through social media). The results were cringe-worthy, but the laughability of the reflections might actually bridge the gap between theological ideas and students' lived experiences.

I used "Create a Skit" (from Student Tools) and gave the prompt of the plot to be students checking each other's work in Math class, but specified that the feedback should be positive, kind and constructive. It created a 4-scene, 3 minute skit that was great. Interestingly, Lisa did the same prompt, but asked it to focus more on the feedback process. Interesting differences in the outcome!

Create directions and room for a podcast outline- helpful to see student progress of developing a conversation about the federalist papers

We used the "Quiz Me" function, which generated review questions to check for understanding and could potentially help students prepare for upcoming tests/additional assignments.

The Debate Partner was quite fulsome in its responses. As such, it seemed like a good way to help students engage with several alternative points of view--especially if they were really satisfied with their own perspective. We worried, though, that the AI might tend to flatter or try to please the human partner.

Podcast

Give instructions to a pair of students to create a Podcast where one student takes on the role of a Federalist supporter and the other is a Brutus supporter. Discuss the need for a new government at this time, the role of the federal government, and the need for political parties. It should be a minimum of a 12 minute conversation.

Used "Quiz Me" and it allowed me to adjust level of difficulty of problems, pick format of questions (multiple choice, open-ended, etc). When I got a question wrong, it would help summarize the word problem whenever I typed in "I don't know, I'm stuck" and also found my error when I typed in a wrong numerical answer to which it provided an explanation on where I went wrong to correct that error.

The "Expand on My Ideas" tool would be a great way to help students identify science-fair project ideas over the content covered in class. Students love to perform experiments, so this tool could help them identify practical, step-based ways to create and conduct safe experiments that could be performed at school/home.
