ChatGPT resource
Nearly two years ago, I released this resource to help educators dive into ChatGPT with curiosity rather than hesitation. Back then, AI’s role in education was fairly new, intriguing, and to many, intimidating. The creation of this resource was nothing more than to simply ease the learning curve and open up discussions around how this tool could start to support teaching practice.
Fast forward to today, and AI is everywhere. Alongside its potential, educators are now grappling with ethical and legal concerns, and questions of accuracy and reliability of AI in supporting genuine learning outcomes. It’s a complex landscape, and I’m grateful that this resource has contributed to a global conversation—translated into multiple languages, cited in articles, and used by educators who are exploring both the benefits and challenges of AI.
This journey highlights the importance of staying informed and reflective. We have a responsibility to understand not just how to use AI but also how to navigate its implications thoughtfully. Browse some of the articles, discussions and research this resource has supported below:
