But this year, he asked ChatGPT to write the paragraphs-one that was upbeat and funny, one that was angry, one that was professional, and so on.
In the past, he would have written each paragraph himself. He wanted to present students with 10 separate paragraphs arguing that school should start at a later time, each using a different tone. Thornley recently used the AI bot to help him plan a lesson about analyzing tone in written documents. If technology allows a teacher to have three to four extra hours with their family every week, then that’s something I think we have to capitalize on and hopefully do.” “A lot of that is the workload is enormous. “Teacher burnout and teacher retention are such huge problems in the United States,” said Braxton Thornley, a language arts teacher and digital teaching and learning instructional coach at Bingham High School in South Jordan, Utah. Just under a third of teachers said if they could spend less time on any one task, it would be general administrative work. While some educators worry about the implications of automating these parts of teaching, others say that the tool can save them hours of work, freeing up time for student interactions or their personal life.Īfter all, a typical teacher works about 54 hours a week, but just under half of that time is devoted to directly teaching students, according to a nationally representative survey of teachers conducted by the EdWeek Research Center last year.
So far, teachers have used-or considered using-the chat bot to plan lessons, put together rubrics, offer students feedback on assignments, respond to parent emails, and write letters of recommendation, among other tasks. Most of the conversation has been centered on the extent to which students will use the chat bot-but ChatGPT could also fundamentally change the nature of teachers’ jobs. The education community has been abuzz with the rise of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence tool that can write anything with just a simple prompt.
