ChatGPT is an AI program that can talk like a human. It gives responses in a chat format. This is a tool that can help humans with many questions, explain things, and have back and forth dialogue.
As an educator this tool could be concerning for student if they don't use it as a tool but rather a platform to cheat or cut corners when it comes to assignments. It is important that I teach students this is a tool to HELP and SUPPORT you so they know how to properly and appropriately use the platform. I also find this to be super helpful for educators. For example, I have used ChatGPT to help answer questions in an Earth Science unit I just taught about phenomenons that I did not know some explanations to and also used it to write an example opinion essay for students to reference to as a mentor.
