School and educators have banned certain AI websites, such as ChatGPT, due to the fear of students relying on the website to cheat. However, the ban has been removed in many states because when used responsibly, ChatGPT and other AI resources can be extremely helpful. (SLJ Staff)
I use ChatGPT nearly every week, if not more often, to help me at work and at school. Recently, I used ChatGPT to generate a list of novels written in verse for a teacher. Before I consulted ChatGPT, I had scoured my library catalog and the internet for days, trying to find relevant material on a middle grade reading level. ChatGPT generated 100 titles instantly. I could have saved myself a week's worth of time by starting with ChatGPT in the first place.
I have used AI to write recommendation letters for friends who used me as a job reference. I simply type a brief description of my friend and the job that they're applying for, and ChatGPT does the rest. Within seconds, an excellent letter of recommendation is created.
An website that I recently learned about that I would like to highlight is called QuestionWell. Maya Bialik created this website to help teachers create lesson plans. This website instantly creates questions based on a specified topic, reading level, language, and standard. Teachers can upload a document, website, or video The questions can be multiple choice, short answer, or fill-in-the-blank. Videos can also be implemented. Depending on the price level, the website can upload grades and can create questions for multiple classes. I think this is an excellent resource for teachers. I actually forwarded the link to the webpage to my educator friends and they were really appreciative!
