For this final task I used “Chat GPT” to search for a lesson plan idea. I used specific words and prompts to set the parameters in a very narrow way. I searched “Create a one-day lesson plan on Deng Xiaoping (45 min total) with use of student I Pads”. I started by simply saying create a lesson on Deng Xiaoping. I knew, after watching the video, that I should get more parameters. But I wanted to see step by step how the response changed as I added and specified items. This is a topic I find hard to teach because the students are not really into it. Even with footage of Tiananmen Square, students completely check out when it comes to the Four Modernizations. After the initial search (general one), I got some ideas. I then added that it was a 45-minute class period. This broke down the tasks more and even offered times each should take. I then added “with use of student I Pads”. This then redrafted the response to include the technology piece. It had the teacher sharing articles and resources electronically and chatting via the I Pad as a part of the lesson. Like I mentioned earlier, I like to put my spin and flavor on the lesson. But as a jumping off point in coming up with new lesson ideas this is a fascinating tool.
