Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world, and education is no exception. AI has the potential to revolutionise teaching and learning by automating tasks, providing personalised instruction, and helping teachers to better understand the children that they teach.
BENEFITS OF AI
BENEFITS OF AI
Increased personalisation: AI can help to personalise instruction for each child, which can lead to improved learning outcomes.
Reduced workload: AI can automate many of the tasks that teachers typically do, which can free up their time for more important activities.
Improved understanding: AI can help teachers to better understand their childrens' strengths and weaknesses, which can lead to more effective teaching.
Enhanced creativity: AI can be used to create new and innovative learning experiences that are not possible with traditional methods.
CHALLENGES OF AI
CHALLENGES OF AI
Bias: AI models can be biased - It is important that you are still critical of any information developed by AI and you don't just accept it as fact. Any AI generated data should still be read, edited and fact checked.
Privacy: AI systems collect a lot of data, which raises privacy concerns. It is important not to put sensitive information into AI tools including school names, children's names or anything else that can be used to identify an individual or an organisation.
Cost: AI systems can be expensive to develop and implement - and at the moment, there are so many new tools out there. It is not possible to buy every single one.

PREP:
Prompt it: Prompt construction is essential to success.
Role: Specify a role or persona for the chat. Saying 'you are an expert in X. What is X.' gives better answers than just asking the question.
Explicit instructions and examples help with narrowing down the options. If the first answer is unsatisfactory, give an example of a similar good answer.
Parameters help constrain what, how much, how well, and what style the answer is in. You can even say 'only give actual quotes'.
Example
Prompt it: Write a letter about our year 3 upcoming trip to the Tower of London.
Role: You are the teacher leading the trip
Explicit instructions and examples: Include that children will need to be in school at 7am and will return to school by 4pm. They will be in groups of 6. During the trip they will have a workshop about the history of the tower.
Parameters: Write in a formal tone and include a permission slip at the bottom.
You then have a clear starting point that you can continue to prompt and edit. If you are not happy with the result, you can ask it to change bits or you can choose to edit yourself.
