Prompting Techniques by Dane Jacobson

Create Student Examples

I use AI to help create example work for students. I also like to see what type of prompts are generated when putting in my instructions.

Biology - Cell Organelle Pick Up Lines

2024-09-23 16:51:24 UTC

I have used it for a lot of things - but asking it to generate pick up lines for my Cell Organelle Speed Dating activity was the most fun. I had it generate school appropriate lines, I asked it to revise for shorter, quippier ones, and to use gen alpha slang. The results were usable as examples for students and memorable.

My A/C wasn’t blowing cold air, so I asked an AI for help. It suggested turning off the breaker switch for at least 10 seconds. When I went to reset it, none of the switches were labeled. I took a picture of the breaker box, and AI identified which one belonged to the A/C. Problem solved!

Currently use contextual, zero-shot, and analytical prompting.

I have used AI to create emergency sub plans, and ask to summarize a lot of information.

Coding!

2024-09-23 18:00:23 UTC

I'm coming back for the coding info! I have a lot of ideas that I think I can utilize with more coding that I don't have time to learn myself.

I use AI to help me create social emotional trainings/lessons.

Uses of AI

2024-09-23 18:00:47 UTC

I use it to make work related scenarios or questions for videos

Working with my budget to see what could be eliminated/wasting money.

I am using Few-shot prompting, and chain of thought.

2024-09-23 18:01:09 UTC

My favorite example was the text samples, I usually use ChatGPT to provide background information on topic.

How to make a worksheet as well as a lesson with video embedded in it.

I've used to create resumes, letters of recommendation, meal plans, outlines, clean up case notes, etc.

Creating a Course and helping with definitions

2024-09-23 18:01:55 UTC

I love that it can be used to help study definitions.

HTML - Example #1: Choice Boards

2024-09-23 18:02:14 UTC

Very helpful to add extra resources for students to access throughout the unit in a very organize manner.

Choice Board

2024-09-23 18:02:46 UTC

I use choice boards and love the example you used. I hope that I can be as detailed.

Uploading text

2024-09-23 18:02:51 UTC

Its great that it can urn a paper your wrote into text!

2024-09-23 18:02:51 UTC

Interpreting visual data, creating gamified and practice problems, and playing 20 questions.

Create Powerpoint and Guided Notes

2024-09-23 18:03:24 UTC

I use AI to help create powerpoint relating to the contents we're going over in class. I like to use MagicSchoolAI, ChatGPT and Brisk to help create any assessments or little quizzes.

2024-09-23 18:03:49 UTC

I use one shot, few shot, and chain of thought.

New to ChatGPT

2024-09-23 18:03:59 UTC

I will start to experiment with chat GPT this year in my classroom. Thank you for teaching this course!

Music and Film

I use AI to create small instrumental tracks that I occasionally incorporate into my own music and create sound effects/ambient noises for my AI short films.

I easily use contextual prompting the most for personal use. Feeding in specific data is powerful for quality output. However, I create interactive prompts a lot for student use, and use large combinations of techniques when creating content or working with code.

Canvas HTML Automation

My personal favorite is anything to do with AI-generated coding. While I have some background in programming, most people I've worked with on prompting have zero programming knowledge and were able to create complex, functional products with basic trial and error. (Some of these people are students!)

Lazy Prompts and Meta Prompts

djacobson10 — 2024-10-07 05:13:34 UTC

As much as I give PD on AI prompting, some of my best AI creations happen out of sheer laziness. It helps avoid burnout in a way. "Do it." "Again." "More." "It's still not working." "Help: ~pastes unintelligible thought~"

This leads to meta prompting. If you're not sure how to create a good prompt or idea you have in mind, have AI create a prompt template for you based on the rough ideas in your head.

Contextualize prompting and chain of thought.

I use AI to create bellwork questions outline units.

2024-10-18 16:44:43 UTC

I use AI organize my TBR for 2025 and get book recommendations.

2024-10-18 16:45:07 UTC

I used AI to generate ideas for my halloween costume.

Articles for English class

2024-10-18 16:46:37 UTC

I hate looking for articles online so I ask AI to help find ones to use.
