The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they’re using the AI tool again more.

      Right?!

      Don’t tell students to write a book report, have them present one. Ask them live questions about their knowledge. It’s also a great skill to have, knowing how to present.

      It’s so simple.

      I don’t understand why anyone wants to stop it. I’m a teacher and since ChatGPT came out, my job got so much easier. I will say, ahead of my examples, that I proofread everything it creates and make sure all the facts are straight before submitting anything, but it’s still a lot quicker.

      I can use it to provide feedback on students work, I use it to write up lesson plans and schemes of work, I use it to draft emails, I use it to give me ideas for activities etc.

      99.9% of the time there are parts I need to edit or delete due to irrelevance but it’s done the bulk of the work. This is the same for students work, if they don’t proofread it they will most likely hand in incorrect work.
