Prompt:
Act as an expert Educational Consultant and Evaluator. Your goal is to interview me to help me discover, articulate, and polish my personal Teaching Pedagogy.
Do not give me a generic list of philosophies. Instead, I want you to interview me.
Please follow this process:
1. Ask me one question at a time. Do not overwhelm me with a list.
2. Ask specific, scenario-based questions (e.g., "What do you do when a student fails?" rather than "What is your view on failure?").
3. Cover three domains: The Learner (ability/motivation), The Teacher (role/authority), and The Content (grading/purpose).
4. After you have asked enough questions to form a profile (usually 6-8), stop and ask me this specific final question: "Is there anything else unique about your specific subject or your approach that is vital to your philosophy that we haven't discussed?"
5. Once I answer that final question, analyze all my responses and generate the profile.
The final output should include:
- My "Pedagogical Archetype" (a creative name for my style).
- A formal "Pedagogical Statement" (for a syllabus or portfolio).
- A casual "Elevator Pitch" (how I would explain it to a colleague).
I am ready for the first question.
Your first response to the AI:
I teach [Subject] to [Grade Level] and my biggest struggle is [Student Behavior/Motivation/Time].
Introduction: You've probably used AI tools like chatbots or search engines. But have you ever noticed that they sometimes give you different answers to the same question? This isn't always because one is "right" and the other is "wrong." Instead, it's often because AI models are trained on different data sets, have different architectures, and are optimized for different tasks. In this assignment, you'll become an AI explorer, investigating how various AI agents respond to questions about concepts you're familiar with.
The Challenge: Choose a specific concept, story, or niche topic that you believe might not be universally known or perfectly understood by all AI models. Your goal is to see how different AI agents handle inquiries about this topic, identifying their strengths, weaknesses, and potential "blind spots."Â
Using prompts, have 2 different AI bots (such as Gemini & ChatGPT) debate a topic.
Example: Gemini & ChatGPT - GPS Tracking in Schools
Possible Topics (generated by Google Gemini AI):
AI in Education: Artificial intelligence tools should be integrated into standard classroom curricula to enhance student learning.
Social Media Regulation: Social media platforms should be legally responsible for policing harmful content shared on their sites.
Environmental Policy: Developed nations have a moral obligation to provide significant financial aid to developing nations for climate change adaptation.
AI and Creativity: AI-generated art, music, and literature should be considered as valuable as human-created works.
Ethical Consumption: Consumers have a moral obligation to prioritize ethically sourced and sustainable products, even if they are more expensive.
Technology and Privacy: Governments should implement stricter data privacy laws to protect individuals from corporate data collection.
School Uniforms: All public high schools should require students to wear uniforms.
Space Exploration: Humanity should prioritize large-scale investment in space exploration and colonization over addressing immediate terrestrial problems.
AI in Healthcare: AI diagnostic tools should be given precedence over human doctors in initial medical assessments.
Youth Voting Rights: The voting age should be lowered to 16 for all local and national elections.
Have an AI bot pretend to be a figure in history. Provide instructions that emphasize accuracy and fair depictions.
Create a Gemini Gem for repeatability with different individuals.
Google Gem Instructions:
"You are about to embody a specific individual. Your goal is to converse as this person, reflecting their personality, beliefs, speech patterns, and knowledge as accurately as possible.
Before we begin, I will provide you with the name of the individual. Your first response will be to confirm understanding and, if applicable, to ask clarifying questions.
Core Requirements for All Responses:
Absolute Factual Accuracy: All information, statements, and historical context must be rigorously accurate. No AI hallucinations are permitted. If a fact is unknown or speculative, you must state that explicitly.
Historical/Source Backing: Every piece of information you convey must be verifiable and backed by historical records, biographies, primary sources, or the established lore of the book/movie/media in which the character appears.
Creative but Authentic Responses: Your responses should be engaging and creative, but always remain within the established persona of the individual. Mimic their known speaking style, vocabulary, and worldview as closely as possible.
Character Nuance and Interpretation:
Multiple Character Versions (e.g., Book vs. Movie): If the individual exists in multiple significant adaptations (e.g., a character from a book that was also adapted into a film), your first response upon receiving the individual's name must be to ask for clarification on which version I wish you to embody (e.g., "Am I to be Elizabeth Bennet as portrayed in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, or as depicted in the 2005 film adaptation?").
Divergent Historical Views: If the individual is a historical figure about whom there are differing scholarly interpretations or public perceptions, you must acknowledge these variations. You should express your character's own self-perception, but also acknowledge how others may have viewed or still view them, using phrases like, "Though I see myself as [character's self-perception], it is true that some have historically seen me as [alternative perception]."
Upon receiving the individual's name, you will begin the transformation."
Potential Assignments for AI Exploration: Generated by ChatGPT
Summary: Students will use an AI image generator (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion) to create a series of images based on specific prompts. They will then act as "art critics," analyzing the AI's artistic choices, identifying biases or common patterns in the generated images, and reflecting on the concept of AI creativity versus human creativity.
Summary: Students choose a new, complex concept from a subject they are studying (e.g., a specific scientific principle, a historical event's underlying causes, a challenging math theorem). They then use different AI models to learn about this concept, comparing how each AI explains it, provides examples, answers follow-up questions, and identifies which AI was most effective as a "tutor" for their learning style.
Summary: Students are given a long article, a transcript of a lecture, or a series of news reports on a complex topic. They will use AI tools to summarize the content, extract key points, and identify the main arguments. They will then compare the AI-generated summaries to their own manually created notes, evaluating the AI's efficiency, accuracy, and ability to capture nuance.
Summary: Students will select a topic of interest and, using an AI large language model (LLM), generate a script for a short podcast episode (e.g., an interview, a narrative, a debate). They can then use AI voice generators to bring their script to life, critically evaluating the naturalness of the voices, the flow of the conversation, and the overall quality of the AI-produced audio.
Summary: Students will start with a poorly written or vague prompt. Their task is to use an AI model itself to help them refine and improve the prompt, iterating until they achieve a desired output. This assignment focuses on understanding how to "coach" the AI by providing clear instructions, context, constraints, and examples, demonstrating the iterative nature of prompt engineering.
Summary: Students will research and apply a specific prompt framework (like "The Golden Prompt" or "Role, Task, Format, Tone") to a challenging AI generation task. They will compare the results of using the structured framework versus a free-form prompt, analyzing how adherence to the framework influences the quality, relevance, and consistency of the AI's output.
Summary: Students will use an AI to generate an initial creative writing piece (e.g., a short story, a poem, a scene for a play). Their main task is not just to generate, but to critically edit and transform the AI's output, adding human creativity, voice, and originality. This highlights AI as a brainstorming tool and emphasizes the unique value of human authorship.
Summary: Students will prompt different AI models with queries that might reveal biases (e.g., "Describe a CEO," "Show me a scientist," "Generate an image of a nurse"). They will analyze the responses and images for stereotypes related to gender, race, age, or profession, and discuss the implications of such biases in AI systems.
Summary: Students will present a real-world problem (e.g., a local community issue, an environmental challenge, a school-related dilemma) to various AI models and ask for potential solutions or brainstorming ideas. They will evaluate the practicality, creativity, and feasibility of the AI's suggestions, and reflect on AI's utility as a collaborative problem-solving partner.
Summary: Students will research a specific ethical dilemma related to AI (e.g., AI in warfare, job displacement, privacy concerns, deepfakes). They will then use AI models to help them gather information and construct arguments for both sides of the debate. The assignment culminates in a class discussion or a written argumentative essay, demonstrating their understanding of AI's societal impact.
