Here’s How Teachers Are Using AI to Save Time

   When writing a negative letter about grades to a parent, I go to AI to change the wording for me.

   I use it as a tool to communicate with administrators and parents. I find it much quicker to type in the general idea and receive an email I could have written, but it would have taken me 15 minutes or more.

   I use it to clarify information if I am struggling with words. I put in a parent letter (for example) and have it fix it. Then I edit their fix.

   Making emails to parents sound more professional.

   I’ve used it to reword/edit recommendation letters and report card comments.

   I have used School AI to create an escape room review for genetics. I have used ChatGPT to create lesson prompts. I have used Magic AI to create worksheets and questions for YouTube videos I show in class. I have used AI to create quiz questions in Quizizz.

   I use AI to aid in making worksheets or quizzes out of already existing resources.

   I have AI make my warm-up and exit tickets.

   Using textual details to create accurate AI images to depict key settings in The Great Gatsby.

   I have used AI to develop a list of anticipation questions to lead discussion before a research project.

   I don’t use it daily, but one way I’ve used it is to create grammar sentence practice with AI-created sentences for students to correct.

   I’ve utilized Notebook LM to generate a two-person podcast that students listened to as a preview to the reading they would be doing for a unit.

   Helps create story problems for math. Creates reading comprehension articles for subjects I’m teaching.

   The best way that AI has helped in my classroom is by finding resources or alternate lessons/activities for students who are absent and have missed labs or experiments. It also helps alter lessons for students who are well below grade level and struggle with grade-level assignments.

   I use AI to change the reading level of some assignments. For example, it can very quickly change a given text from 10th grade to 5th grade.

   As a special education teacher, I work with students across multiple subjects. Many times I do not have the background in some subjects. I have used ChatGPT to provide me with examples of the tasks being asked of students. By doing so, I am able to guide a student in how to begin a task or what to focus on with a task.

   To reduce time and mental effort to research and design individual learning programs to match student’s expressed interest.

   I use AI to simplify reading selections in the target language that I teach so that the selections are at levels that are appropriate for specific classes of students.

   I have used it to modify content and instructions for students [with individualized education programs] and to create quizzes.

   I use AI to tie standards to my teaching units.

   I use it to grammar- and fact-check every lesson that I create.

   I use AI to turn my useful lesson plans into something acceptable to administrators (using all the current edu-speak and format).

   Creating alternate tests for end-of-year testing. Making changes to a lesson plan to make it more hands-on. Creating practice questions that I can put into a game review.

   I’ve generated lesson plans, but really haven’t used them. Just sought out some ideas and direction.

   I often try to use AI to find relevancy with my curriculum.

   I needed help with giving writing feedback to students, it was taking me too long to correct and get back with them. I put a rubric and other information into a program and taught them how to check their writing using AI. I have also used it to help me create quizzes for standards.

   I sometimes use it to jumpstart writing rubrics for a project. I still have to tweak it a little or adjust parameters, but I find it handy to refine my focus on what is important.

   I use AI to come up with exemplar essays to help students improve their writing.

   To create lower-level questions, rubrics, test questions, provide feedback. I allow students to use AI to generate text that students will then evaluate and analyze using a rubric.

   During the peer feedback process of paper writing, students use two peers to evaluate the paper. They also use ChatGPT to evaluate their first draft using the same rating scale as the peers use. I've also had students prompt AI to develop a paragraph using the same prompt they have used, and compare the two writings—AI's and their own.

   I have the students generate ideas using AI and then use those outlines to create an essay. I also use AI to show them the differences between student-written work and AI-generated work.

   I have used AI to evaluate lab reports and to show students examples of how to discern between relevant and irrelevant information generated by AI.

   I am just beginning to use AI and teaching students how to. We are learning how to summarize long technical readings to summarize for the information we need. Helping students learn how to ask the right questions to achieve the outcome they want and need.

   I use for myself to show the students how it works for visual art.

   I have the students use AI to write a conclusion for an activity. Then I have them rewrite the conclusion in their own words.

   Ideas for slogans for shirts, drill ideas.

   I have used AI to help me create new projects in my health education classes. I have also used AI to help me create alternative workouts in my weight training classes.

   I use it ... for getting ideas for certificates or awards.

   I use AI to summarize meeting notes.

   I created a badge system with the help of AI to motivate my students to earn badges to earn rewards and get them out of their final test.
