3. Tips on 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. You can get a copy and use this activity on your own or with others to explore AI-powered instructional activities.
Writing and Crafting CERs
Here are a few opportunities to take advantage of, recommended by fellow science educators, to use for CER writing practice. Give them a whirl! If you get lost, use the navigation bar that appears at the top and bottom of each page to jump around.
