So I started with Chat GPT and kind of stayed there as I too noticed Bard in now Gemini and Bing in now Copilot.
Regarding Chat GPT- I tried an email to a parent for their student who was not completing the recordings / speaking assignments. I liked what was produced but will need more time to play around with it. What it did produce was pretty good but obviously I would need to keep adding in information to make it sound better and include more personal observations of the student in class. It didn't sound as impersonal as I expected though. I also tried a pre thematic lesson plan I wanted to try with my students for the seal of biliteracy. That too was pretty good, Again I would like to play around with it a little more but as I added more information, it did get better. The content that was provided was in French (not English) which was a plus. I was also pleasantly surprised that when I tried asking it to write questions for the unit, the questions appeared in French and not English. I think that it Chat GPT might be a good starting point for a new topic but I am not convinced that it will save that much time as I will need to read through and check the content it provided both for level appropriateness and availability of student access. Finally I wanted to create a new image to go along with that but did not have much success so I will likely go back to just a goolge search in images to find that. Yes, lots to learn! I didn't post the lesson plan below as I feel it is very similar model to the others.
