Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT


The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots in education continues to be a hot topic of discussion as the technology advances and becomes more widely adopted. One AI chatbot of particular interest at this point of time is ChatGPT, a natural language processing chatbot developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT is designed by OpenAI to generate human-like responses to questions by employing a deep learning algorithm called a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT). This powerful tool can help students and teachers enhance their learning experience, in both the classroom and beyond.

Leveraging ChatGPT in the classroom, educators can use the AI system to create interactive modules and activities which help learners better understand the material they are studying. For example, they can create “conversational challenges” in which students can practice application and discussion of the topics they are learning. It could also be used to create assessment rubric, creating mentor texts or provide feedback regarding student performance based on the criteria created, allowing individuals to learn more effectively.

In the classroom, ChatGPT might be incredibly useful for finding answers to common questions and reducing the number of inquiries student needs to ask their teacher. The chatbot may assist by providing guidance on complex topics such as mathematics, science and history. In addition, it could also be used to provide assistance on simpler topics such as grammar or vocabulary. Beyond the classroom, ChatGPT can also be utilised to create personalised learning experiences. For instance, it might be used to provide custom tutoring and task instruction as needed by the student. Additionally, the chatbot can be used to build individualised study plans tailored to the student’s needs and interests. As AI technology advances, ChatGPT may also be used to create immersive learning experiences. For example, by using the chatbot in conjunction with virtual reality tools, students can explore virtual worlds and engage with virtual teachers for a more immersive learning experience. This type of experiential learning is especially useful for students who can’t physically attend school, as it allows them to go beyond the traditional confines of the classroom. AI tools such as ChatGPT are promising to be incredibly powerful for helping students and teachers improve learning in the classroom and beyond. The potential in education is vast, and the possibilities have barely been tapped. In the coming years, it will be exciting to see how this technology further revolutionises the field of education and how it positively impacts our lives.

Restorative Justice in Education: A Personal and Reflective Examination

As educators, we constantly seek methods to cultivate environments where students feel valued, respected, and supported. Over the years, restorative justice has emerged as an approach that addresses disciplinary issues and promotes a culture of care, empathy, and mutual respect. This article reflects on my experiences with restorative justice in education, highlighting its strengths, benefits, and connections to positive behaviour theories such as positive behaviour in schools (PBIS). I'll discuss the role of traditional disciplinary measures, like time-out, detention, and suspension, within a restorative framework. However, my stance is that these should be employed as a final option when there is no room for relationship coaching or the other strategies prove unsuccessful in achieving positive behavioural outcomes. I am going to preface this article and state that it is informed by my Christian perspective. I am committed to fostering a learning environment where students are enc...

How do we Build a Culture of Inquiry and Data Use?

School systems have a shared responsibility to improve student learning outcomes. Likewise, for staff there is an obligation to provide extended opportunities to build on what they already know. High quality recording methods that ascertain growth mapped over time can identify trends and highlight threats allowing organisations to predict implications of applying a learning initiative or intervention. This can become complex and messy due to competing agendas and a variety of interpretations. For this reason, organisations have an obligation to develop a fair, ethical and shared understanding how data will be used and interpreted (Stoll & Fink,1996). A strong and user-friendly data system when properly implemented, empowers teachers to discover value in functions that bring student data to their fingertips (Brunner, Fasca, Heinze, Honey, Light, Mandinach & Wexler , 2005). Therefore, teachers require adequate learning support if they are to use data to improve practice ...

How can Change Management be Enhanced by Reflective Practices?

"Change is the essence of life: be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become" - Reinhold Neibuhr  Over Christmas, I was asked by friends what the New Year had in store for me as a professional? My response was considered; however, vague. Unlike other years where my role and direction was very clear, this year was totally different. This year is one where major changes are about to happen for my team and I. It is a time where many of our practices formed over years of working in  silo's  were going to be torn down as we move into a new facility designed for team teaching with a minimum of 5 teachers and over 100 students. This change will force countless amounts of unknown practical transformations along with major pedagogical shifts in us individually as professionals by removing our ability to hide our professional practice behind walls away from each other.  While this could be seen as a scary step, I fi...
