Objective 1
Learning

What is Learning?
Learning" is a multifaceted concept that at its core refers to the process by which we
acquire new, or modify existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences.
Types of Learning:
● Cognitive Learning: Involves understanding, knowing, and anticipating. For instance,
memorizing dates in history or understanding a mathematical concept.
● Behavioral Learning: A change in external behavior achieved through experience.
Classical conditioning (think of Pavlov's dogs) and operant conditioning (learning via
reward and punishment) fall under this.
● Associative Learning: Learning to associate a stimulus with a consequence.
● Experiential Learning: Gaining knowledge and skills from firsthand experience rather
than formal education or training.
● Observational Learning: Learning by observing the behaviors of others (also called
social learning).
Learning is a continual process and is central to human development. As we experience
and interact with the world, we continuously adapt, change, and grow through learning

Can ChatGPT Enhance Student Learning?
Yes, ChatGPT can enhance learning, but like all tools, it’s effectiveness depends on how
it’s utilized. Here's just a few ways that it can enhance learning:
Accessibility and Availability:
Unlike human tutors, ChatGPT is available round-the-clock. This is especially useful for
students who might want to study or clarify doubts outside regular hours.
Global Reach:
ChatGPT can be accessed from anywhere, leveling the educational playing field for
students from diverse geographical locations.
Personalized Learning:
ChatGPT can interact at the pace of the learner, allowing students to spend more time on
challenging topics and skip or fast-forward through concepts they're familiar with. ChatGPT

can also give student immediate feedback, which is essential for reinforcement and
correction.
Supplemental Assistance:
ChatGPT can provide explanations for a broad range of topics. If a student didn't
understand a concept in class or from their textbook, the model can offer a different
perspective or explanation. ChatGPT can also be used as a tool to guide students
through difficult homework problems, fostering independent problem-solving skills.
Multimodal Learning:
With ChatGPT's capability to understand and generate text, as well as its potential
integration with visual aids, it can cater to both visual and reading/writing learners.
Safe Learning Environment:
Some students may feel hesitant to ask "silly" questions in a classroom setting. ChatGPT
offers a judgment-free zone for all queries, fostering a sense of safety in learning.

Lifelong and Lifewide Learning:
ChatGPT has information spanning numerous domains, making it a valuable resource for
both academic learning and personal enrichment.
In conclusion, ChatGPT has the potential to be a powerful tool in enhancing learning.
However, like any educational tool, its effectiveness is contingent upon its responsible and
informed use. Teachers, students, and educational institutions need to be proactive in
understanding the capabilities and limitations of such tools to harness their full potential.

Objective 2
Harnessing GPT’s Potential
In the Learning Process

Activity #1
The Prompt: Using ChatGPT to Provide Explanations, Examples and Analogies
Hey ChatGPT, assume that you're an upbeat and encouraging subject matter specific
tutor who helps students understand concepts by explaining ideas and asking students
questions. Start by introducing yourself to the student as their AI-Tutor who is happy to
help them with any questions. Only ask one question at a time.
First, ask them what they would like to learn about. Wait for the response. Then ask
them about their learning level: Are you a high school student, a college student or a
professional? Wait for their response. Then ask them what they know already about the
topic they have chosen. Wait for a response.
Given this information, help students understand the topic by providing explanations,

examples, analogies. These should be tailored to students learning level and prior
knowledge or what they already know about the topic.
Give students explanations, examples, and analogies about the concept to help them
understand. You should guide students in an open-ended way. Do not provide
immediate answers or solutions to problems but help students generate their own
answers by asking leading questions.
Ask students to explain their thinking. If the student is struggling or gets the answer
wrong, try asking them to do part of the task or remind the student of their goal and
give them a hint. If students improve, then praise them and show excitement. If the
student struggles, then be encouraging and give them some ideas to think about.
When pushing students for information, try to end your responses with a question so
that students have to keep generating ideas.

Once a student shows an appropriate level of understanding given their learning level,
ask them to explain the concept in their own words; this is the best way to show you
know something, or ask them for examples. When a student demonstrates that they
know the concept you can move the conversation to a close and tell them you’re here
to help if they have further questions.

Activity #2
The Prompt: Using ChatGPT to Provide Review Sheets
Hey ChatGPT, imagine you're an academic coach tasked with helping me get ready for
an upcoming exam. Specifically, I'm in need of review materials. Before you provide
assistance, please collect the following information:
Type of Review Materials:
● Would you like definitions of various words? If yes, can you provide a list of these
words?
● Do you need a description of how various need-to-know terms differ? If so, please
provide the terms.
● Are you interested in a description of how various need-to-know terms are similar?
Again, if so, specify the terms.

● Would you like structured tables highlighting differences in topics? If yes, what
specific topics should be covered in these tables?
By gathering this information, I can better understand how to assist you in your exam
preparations.
Note to ChatGPT: Always ask just one question at a time, and patiently wait for the
student's response before moving on to the next question. This ensures the student's
preferences are accurately captured and they are not overwhelmed with too much
information at once.

Activity #3
The Prompt: Using ChatGPT to Provide Practice Tests
Hey ChatGPT, assume you're a tutor tasked with helping me get ready for an
upcoming exam. In this regard, I need a number of practice questions. Before crafting
these questions, gather the following details:
Total Questions: Ask how many questions in total the student would like to have
created.
Type of Questions: Inquire about the preferred format:
● Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
● True/False questions
● Short Answer Questions (SAQs)?

If MCQs are the choice, determine how many answer choices should be provided per
question (between 4-5 options).
If SAQs are selected find out if the student wants them phrased as "Briefly describe
ONE (outcome, effect, result, cause, perspective, situation, way, reason, event)," or b.if
the student would like a mixture of differently worded SAQs.
Content Specifics: Request information about the subject or topic for the questions;
the grade and the class. Also, ask if there are specific themes, concepts, or areas
within this topic that should be emphasized.
Difficulty Level: Gauge the desired complexity:
● Beginner
● Intermediate
● Advanced?

Format Preferences: Ask if there are any unique format or stylistic preferences for the
questions. For MCQs, find out if options like 'None of the above' or 'All of the above' are
desirable.
Extra Instructions: Finally, inquire about any additional details or specificities, such as
preferences in phrasing, tone, context, or any other nuances the student wants to point
out.
Following these steps will ensure the practice questions are tailored to the student's
needs and help them prepare effectively for the exam.
Note to ChatGPT: Always ask just one question at a time, and patiently wait for the
student's response before moving on to the next question. This ensures the student's
preferences are accurately captured and they are not overwhelmed with too much
information at once.

Activity #4
The Prompt: Using ChatGPT to Provide a Chance to Reflect on a Team Experience
Hey ChatGPT, assume that you're a helpful friendly coach helping a student reflect on
their recent team experience. Introduce yourself. Explain that you’re here as their coach
to help them reflect on the experience. Think step by step and wait for the student to
answer before doing anything else. Do not share your plan with students. Reflect on each
step of the conversation and then decide what to do next. Ask only 1 question at a time.
1. Ask the student to think about the experience and name 1 challenge that they
overcame and 1 challenge that they or their team did not overcome. Wait for a
response. Do not proceed until you get a response because you'll need to adapt
your next question based on the student response.
2. Then ask the student: Reflect on these challenges. How has your understanding of

yourself as team member changed? What new insights did you gain? Do not proceed
until you get a response.
Do not share your plan with students. Always wait for a response but do not tell students
you are waiting for a response. Ask open-ended questions but only ask them one at a
time. Push students to give you extensive responses articulating key ideas. Ask follow-
up questions. For instance, if a student says they gained a new understanding of team
inertia or leadership ask them to explain their old and new understanding. Ask them
what led to their new insight.
These questions prompt a deeper reflection. Push for specific examples. For example, if
a student says their view has changed about how to lead, ask them to provide a
concrete example from their experience in the game that illustrates the change.

Specific examples anchor reflections in real learning moments. Discuss obstacles. Ask
the student to consider what obstacles or doubts they still face in applying a skill.
Discuss strategies for overcoming these obstacles. This helps turn reflections into goal
setting.
Wrap up the conversation by praising reflective thinking. Let the student know when
their reflections are especially thoughtful or demonstrate progress. Let the student
know if their reflections reveal a change or growth in thinking.

Activity #5
Read the article appearing below; then answer the questions that follow
How Students Are Using ChatGPT to Learn
The pursuit of knowledge in the modern age is being transformed by advanced tools,
and at the forefront of this evolution is ChatGPT. As students navigate the challenges
of learning, they are turning to this AI to aid, inspire, and enhance their educational
endeavors. From facilitating a deeper understanding of complex topics to breaking
barriers of uncertainty, discover how ChatGPT is becoming an integral companion in
the student's journey of discovery and knowledge acquisition.
Explaining Concepts:
Several students told me they used ChatGPT to explain confusing concepts to them

“like they were ten years old.” Since AI lies a lot, this might make you concerned, and
accuracy certainly can be an issue. In this case, however, the students were using this
as a check on their own knowledge, where I think AI can be more effective. Still, I think
the use of AI as an explainer is one that educators and technologists should be thinking
about, especially as the use is already happening in the wild. (We have a draft paper
on how these sorts of errors might actually be used to improve education, as well)
Correcting Errors:
Students mentioned feeding problems they got incorrect on tests or problem sets to the
AI to better understand what they were doing wrong. They then asked for a corrections
and explanations. Similarly, students would give the AI drafts of completed papers to
get feedback (I have been doing this myself, it is really helpful for proofreading
purposes to have an editor who can give you feedback in seconds).

As a model to overcome inertia and uncertainty: A student who had to ask for l
letters of recommendation for the first time told me that they used the AI to create a
draft request that they modified. Another explained to me that they used it to write an
email to me, based on bullet points they outlined. I find this type of use one of the most
interesting and exciting. There are a lot of things that people need to do that they are
unclear about how to start, which can create anxiety and delay. AI can help lower
barriers by providing an initial draft.
As a Source of Inspiration: AI is very good at producing volumes of information.
Students used it to generate ideas for student-run clubs, taglines, company names,
and more. More on generating ideas with AI here.
As a Summary Tool: ChatGPT is remarkably good at summarizing large blocks of

academic text, material from user interviews, transcripts from meetings, and so on.
Students were exploring all of these uses outside of class as well
Making New Things: Let’s start with the very first use I observed, which literally
happened in the class in which I introduced ChatGPT. When I first showed my
undergraduate class AI, I had asked them how many people had experimented with the
system in the prior week. Maybe 10% had, but they had all just played with AI for just a
few minutes (more on why that is a trap, and how to see the power of AI in a short
demo). After I took them through a more complete demonstration, everyone was
playing with the system. By the end of the class one of my students had created a
working demo for his entrepreneurship project - a program that would automatically
detect a face and play a video clip - using a code library he had never used before, in
less than half the time it would otherwise have taken. AI is very, very good at helping
people code.

Now that you’ve read the article, are you by chance concluding that–with the advent of
tools like ChatGP–the landscape of student learning is evolving rapidly?
This article certainly presented a range of ways in which students are harnessing this
technology to learn.
Given this shift:
1. Do you believe educators will need to change their teaching and testing methods,
or can they continue with traditional approaches?
2. How can we ensure that while students leverage ChatGPT for learning, they still
retain and understand core concepts without over-relying on technology?

Class Companion Featured in Forbes
On October 5, Forbes Magazine featured Class Companion in a lengthy article entitled
Class Companion Puts AI To Work Helping Teachers Help Students. Here’s how
the article closes out:
“Perhaps the best measure of promise for any digital tool is when
students complain not about its presence but its absence. Tom Richey,
a teacher in South Carolina, said, “My students really enjoy it. Last
week, my students were doing an assignment on paper, and they
asked, why aren’t we using Class Companion?” This will ultimately be
the test. Unless a product is easy to use and delivers outsized impact,
odds are it will fall by the wayside. Class Companion is off to a
promising start. I look forward to following its evolution.”

“I love that I’m able to direct the AI’s feedback. I can target specific skills that
students struggle with. I still read every assignment, but it enables me to give
more practice. It’s changing how I approach teaching this year.”
— Leonie Maneevone, CA
“Class Companion helps students build confidence. They have autonomy to try
again or move on and can contest a critique to give me the opportunity to weigh
in. A tool that boosts student success without placing additional burden on
teachers, although it feels like an understatement, is miraculous.’”
— Melissa Rogers, IA
“My students overwhelmingly prefer assignments using Class Companion. They
love the immediate, constructive feedback. It increases understanding and
retention, and it allows us to save valuable time and delve deeper into more
interactive, discussion-based lessons, fostering a deeper understanding of the
subject matter.”
— Ryan Bravata, LA

Objective 3
Address Ethical and Safety Concerns

While ChatGPT and similar tools, such as Google Bard, offer immense potential for
enhancing the SMUSD teaching and learning experiences, the Age of ChatGPT also comes
with some serious ethical and safety concerns.
The Data Privacy and Security Concern: Students and educators might
inadvertently share personal or sensitive information with the AI, which could be stored,
misused, or accessed by unauthorized entities. Detail: While platforms may claim to
prioritize user privacy, there's always a risk of data breaches or unauthorized access. This
could lead to the exposure of personal details, academic records, or other sensitive
information.
The Promotion of Plagiarism Concern:: AI tools can make it easy for students
to obtain answers without doing the work themselves. Detail: This could undermine the
educational process, leading to a lack of understanding of the subject matter and fostering a
culture where cutting corners is normalized.

The Bias and Fairness Concern: AI models can inadvertently perpetuate biases
present in their training data. Detail: This could lead to skewed or unfair responses,
potentially reinforcing stereotypes or providing biased information.
The Over-reliance and Critical Thinking Concern: Overuse of AI tools can
hinder the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Detail: If students
become accustomed to receiving direct answers, they might not engage in the cognitive
processes essential for understanding complex topics.
The Authenticity and Transparency Concern: There's a need for clarity
about when students are interacting with an AI versus a human. Detail: Ensuring that
students know when they're communicating with an AI promotes transparency and helps
them contextualize the information they receive.
The Age and Maturity Considerations Concern: Younger students,
especially those in primary grades, might not have the maturity to use AI tools responsibly.
Detail: They might not understand the implications of sharing personal information or be
able to discern accurate information from misinformation.

The Teacher's Role and Dependency Concern: Over-reliance on AI tools
could diminish the role of educators. Detail: The human touch, expertise, and experience
that teachers bring to the classroom are irreplaceable. AI should complement, not replace,
this.
The Ethical Use and Digital Citizenship Concern: Students need guidance
on the ethical use of AI tools. Detail: This includes understanding the potential
consequences of their interactions, respecting digital etiquette, and being aware of the
broader societal implications of AI.
The Accessibility and Equity Concern: There's a risk of widening the digital
divide if some students lack access to AI tools. Detail: Ensuring that all students, regardless
of socio-economic background, have equal access to technology is crucial for equity in
education.
The Feedback and Continuous Improvement Concern: AI tools, being
inherently iterative, require continuous feedback for improvement.

Detail: Educators and students should have mechanisms to report issues, inaccuracies, or
biases they encounter, ensuring the tool evolves in a direction beneficial for education.

Miscellaneous

Close Out Thought
Read the following; then share any thoughts/reaction you might have.
"I see a lot of posts where educators are saying they would rather have students do an
activity on their own, rather then use AI. There are certainly instances where this could
be true and beneficial. But I’m here to stick up for the students with dyslexia, our ESL
learners, and struggling learners who can be immensely helped by the assistance of AI.
If one wants to teach in 1985, where we left those kids behind and did everything in
class, that’s certainly one’s prerogative, but I am always going to remind educators that
we now have a tool that can and will equalize the educational experience for those who
have been historically marginalized."

The Top Four Walton Family Foundation Survey
Findings:
Finding #1: Nearly everyone knows what ChatGPT is
● About seven months after it first debuted publicly, pretty much everyone knows
what ChatGPT is. It’s broadly recognized by 80% of registered voters,
according to the new survey, by 71% of parents and 73% of teachers.
● Meanwhile, slightly fewer students — just 67% — tell pollsters they know what
it is.
Finding #2: Despite the doom-and-gloom headlines about AI taking over the world,
lots of people view ChatGPT favorably
● Surprisingly, parents now view the chatbot more favorably than teachers: 61%
of parents are fine with it, according to the new survey, compared with only
58% of teachers and just 54% of students.

Finding #3: Just a fraction of students say they’re using ChatGPT … but lots of
teachers admit to using it
● In February, a previous survey found that 33% of students said they’d used
ChatGPT for school. That figure is now creeping up to 42%.
● But their teachers are way ahead of them: 63% of teachers say they’ve used
the chatbot on the job, up from February, when just 50% of teachers were
taking advantage of the tool. Four in 10 (40%) teachers now report using it at
least once a week.
Finding #4: Teachers … and parents … believe it’s legit
● Teachers who use ChatGPT overwhelmingly give it good reviews. Fully 84%
say it has positively impacted their classes, with about 6 in 10 (61%)
predicting it will have “legitimate educational uses that we cannot ignore.”
