Part 2 - How Can a Teacher Use This? After reflecting on your searches, explain what ChatGPT did. Chat GPT wrote a lesson plan for teaching 2-digit addition and subtraction. The lesson plan consisted of 3 lessons with all the necessary parts needed in a formal lesson plan. Furthermore, when asked to elaborate on each lesson plan part, for example, Engagement, it wrote a step-by-step engagement activity appropriate for this lesson. It did this in about 10 seconds. The speed and time saver is astounding.
  1. What are you thinking about ChatGPT now that you’ve used it?
ChatGPT is useful for work that has a known type of answer. For classroom purposes, I love that I can ask for lesson plans and modify them to what I need, and when I need it. For personal use, it generated recipes, answered “How To …” questions, and I am certain to find other answers to questions yet unasked.

2. Would you consider using it WITH your students?  Why or Why not? 
I would consider using ChatGPT with my students as a resource tool. Teaching and learning is all about finding answers to questions and ChatGPT is a premium resource that is free to use and available to all. As I teacher, I design the lessons, tailor the text to be used, and specify the criteria for the lessons being taught using ChatGPT as a guide, similar to a textbook resource. It would be a time saver as an educator.
