Let's dive into the fun by exploring our current state of thinking and understanding. Once we build the foundation of current thought, then we will work to understand generative AI and ChatGPT through a Human Centered Design Approach
Congratulations on completing the first session of our exciting journey into the world of generative AI and ChatGPT! I hope you found it enlightening and are eager to explore further.
As we gear up for our next session on prompt engineering, I have a fun and interactive homework assignment for you: the "Prompt Engineering Adventure"! This assignment will allow you to come prepared so work through ideas you are wanting to find solutions for and get hands-on experience with ChatGPT.
Here's what you need to do:
Task and Questions: Take a moment to think about five example tasks or questions that you would like a computer to generate text for. Let your imagination run wild! It could be anything from writing a short story, drafting an engaging classroom activity, answering a challenging question related to your subject, or even crafting a unique lesson introduction.
Simple Prompts: Once you have your tasks or questions, your mission is to come up with a simple prompt for each one. The prompt will serve as the starting point for ChatGPT to generate text relevant to your specific task or question. Think about how you can frame the prompt to get the desired output.
Testing in ChatGPT: Now comes the exciting part! Take your prompts and test them out in ChatGPT. Engage in a conversation with ChatGPT, input your prompts, and observe the generated responses. Don't worry if the initial results aren't perfect - this is just the beginning. We'll delve deeper into improving prompts in our upcoming session.
Reflect and Share: Reflect on your experience with ChatGPT and the generated text in Session 2. Take note of the strengths and weaknesses of the responses. What worked well? What could be improved? Think about how these insights can be applied to your educational context.
Remember, this adventure is all about experimentation and learning. I encourage you to embrace the process, have fun, and be open to new possibilities.
