ChatGPT boggles my mind. It is incredible- aside from asking who would win the football game today it has always given me a spectacular answer to any question I have asked of it. It told me it can't predict future outcomes but where to find stats and such. When I searched for multiple choice questions for lyrics to a song I wanted to use for shared reading, it gave me them! It told me why the answers were correct and why the distractors were incorrect. It gave me the theme, author's craft, and many other questions I want to be prepared with for my class.
Of course, I have to fact-check it but it did much of my thinking work for me! I just need to make it my own now.
Now that I've used it more than a few times I reach for it to generate ideas and consider different viewpoints to anticipate what my students may be thinking as well.
I never thought I would use it with my students in 4th grade but after watching the YouTube - I am curious about having chat gpt write something that the students wrote so they can compare their work to it. BUT- I think I will do that on my end and give it to them- I am not ready to share the secret (if it still is!) with them yet!
