Ai generated text and lesson notes

Exploration #1: Lesson Planning with AI as a Partner

ekc3 — 2025-02-12 03:06:04 UTC

This group will explore how AI tools like ChatGPT and MagicSchool can support lesson planning and idea generation. Teachers will experiment with prompts, share findings, and create materials for immediate classroom use while recording useful prompts for future reference.

Exploration #2B: Generating Differentiated Narrative Texts

ekc3 — 2025-02-12 03:16:26 UTC

This group will explore how to generate meaningful, leveled, and differentiated narrative texts that support knowledge-building within a PYP Unit of Inquiry. Teachers will experiment with prompts, refine generated texts, and create materials for immediate classroom use while recording effective prompts for future reference.

Exploration #3 Using AI to Analyze Student Writing and Plan for Conferring

ekc3 — 2025-02-12 03:19:11 UTC

This group will explore using AI to analyze student writing and generate meaningful, personalized, and actionable feedback. Teachers will explore how to upload student work, incorporate rubrics and checklists, and use AI to plan ahead for one-on-one writing conferences using the "Research - Decide - Compliment - Teach" framework. An extension will also explore how upper elementary students can use AI as a writing partner.

Exploration #4 Using AI to Build Text Sets and Find Resources

ekc3 — 2025-02-12 03:24:24 UTC

This group will explore using AI to locate a variety of resources (print, digital, music, video, student samples, etc.) for building rich text sets that connect to a specific Unit of Inquiry. Teachers will explore different sources, identify free vs. paid resources, and develop an organized system for storing and using these materials.

Exploration #5: Using AI to Support Interactive Read-Aloud & Shared Text Planning

ekc3 — 2025-02-12 03:28:17 UTC

This session will guide teachers in using AI tools like ChatGPT and MagicSchool to plan interactive read-alouds and shared text experiences that support language comprehension using Scarborough’s Reading Rope. Teachers will explore how AI can help identify tiered vocabulary, plan for pre-teaching and in-the-moment explanations, and extract sentences for syntax and grammar instruction.
