What is ChatGPT?

An American non-profit AI (artificial intelligence) research company that created and released ChatGPT for the use of the public. OpenAI website

Since its online release in November 2022, ChatGPT quickly gained a reputation as a tool that made cheating easier than ever as it could quickly generate original writing and be used as a test-taking tool. Within months, English-based school districts across the world were banning the software and issuing warnings to students in its use. As the panic has settled, users are getting more familiar with the chatbot, and it becomes more integrated into society; educators are now looking to see how to prepare students to use it responsibly, promote critical thinking, and benefit teachers.

Fears & Controversy

Students will need to first be taught how to use the program to enhance their learning instead of as a shortcut for assignments, appropriate use in school work, and to be reminded to show academic honesty.

Things ChatGPT Can NOT Do

• Write a self-reflection
• Write about events occurred past 2021
• Provide non-text based responses
• Make predictions about future events
• Browse/summarize content from the internet
• Draw connections between class content and visual materials

ChatGPT is not connected to the internet and is not able to learn from content online and current events after 2021. It is also limited to only provide and analyze text-based answers and data.

• Lesson Title:
• Composing Order of Operations Problems
• Grade Level: 5th Grade
• TEKS:
• 5.4(B) Represent and solve multi-step problems involving the four operations with whole numbers using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity.
• Learning Objectives:
• Students will create numerical expressions to represent a multi-step word problem and solve them using PEMDAS.
• Activity Description:
• Students will use ChatGPT to help generate multi-step word problems where they must solve for an unknown quantity. They will determine the numerical expression that best represent the word problem before giving the problem and expression for a partner to solve and peer review. Students with similar levels of understanding for the concept will be paired for the activity. Once partners have traded two word problems each, solved them together, and checked with ChatGPT; students are responsible for creating their own original word problem and accompanying numerical expression.
