ChatGPT resources for educators- a round up!

July 27, 2023 by Amber Leave a Comment

I had the opportunity to chat with Leslie Kapuchuck yesterday for her podcast, The Leadership Podium, and we talked leadership, ChatGPT and so much more! She mentioned several of the posts I’ve shared on FB, and I realized that since my FB page isn’t public, I should share here as well! (Turns out it was more than I thought!)

I have LOVED diving into the AI waters and think there is much to be gained in education if we harness its generative power in the right way. We don’t have a problem when Netflix recommends what we should watch next, and that’s a form of AI…why can’t we use it to grow and learn? If you’re not sure how to even get started, let me help, 🙂
