2. AI Prompt Engineering
Chatbots are available for free but may also cost money. It would be best for your school district to decide on which AI chatbots it was going to purchase on your behalf. In the meantime, most offer free or trial accounts.
Bing/CoPilot Chat App with ChatGPT 4
(free)
Want to see more ways you can use chatbots to enhance or facilitate teaching and learning in your work? Here are some popular ideas to explore. All you need is access to a chatbot to explore with. My favorites include the free versions of Claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Gemini to start with.
3. Build Your Own
Directions
Divide up into small groups of 2-3 people. You will be working together on all activities.
Try out your prompt on whatever mobile AI model app or website you have available to you.
BEFORE you start, craft your prompt for each:
Think of a specific problem you need assistance on in your situation
Use the prompt elements below to develop your prompt
Share your prompt and result in the Padlet (shown right)
Elements of a Prompt
Role - a specific role you want the AI Model to assume.
Tone - Instruct the AI model to take a certain tone.
Instruction - a specific task or instruction you want the model to perform.
Context - external information or additional context that can steer the model to better responses.
Input Data - the input or question that we are interested to find a response for.
Output - the type or format of the output.
One Example
You are a K-12 school public relations expert, and AI prompt engineer. Come up with a real life situation that schools face, then develop a prompt that when submitted to an AI would offer sample copy or solutions. The prompt example should include the following components:
1-Role the AI should take
2-Tone the AI should respond in
3-Instruction: The task the AI model should perform
4-Context the AI needs about the problem
5-Input data or question that we are seeking a response for relevant to the data
6-The type or format of the output, such as "Put in table form" or "narrative" or an image.
4. Share and Reflect
