ChatGPT was able to essentially take a load off of all the "little planning details" that I would normally have to figure out myself. It was able to give me some great essay starters, plan out a lesson for me, and even generate questions based on a text. I was even able to put in a text and ChatGPT generated comprehension questions for me to use when assessing students.
I think, especially in the world of education, that ChatGPT is a great tool that if we can use it correctly can be more helpful than hurtful. It definitely does involve a second check to ensure the accuracy of everything, but overall it's a really cool tool that I could definitely consider using in the future.
At this point, I don't think I would use it with my students. Especially in the elementary level, I don't want my students to know that this tool is out there and can be used for their advantage. As an ENL teacher, I want my students to be fully immersed in the day to day teaching and learning the language before exposing them to tools that can do the work for them.
