My name is Marjorie Olavides. I'm a project specialist for the Outreach and Technical Assistance Network or OTAN, and I'd like to welcome you all to this month's OTAN Tech Talk. Our speaker today is Susan Coulter. She's an OTAN Subject Matter Expert. Her topic today is Streamline Planning with AI: Craft Custom Lessons. And let's get started. Go for it, Susan. SUSAN COULTER: OK. Thank you, Marjorie. Well, welcome to today's OTAN Tech Talk. It's titled Streamlining Planning with AI: Craft Custom Lesson Plans. My name is Susan Coulter, and I am one of OTAN's Subject Matter Experts. More affectionately known as OTAN SMEs. I am excited to share what I've learned about lesson planning with AI. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, Today's Agenda. Text, 1. Overview of AI. 2. Prompt Frameworks. 3. Lesson Plan Prompts. 4. Free Generative AI Platforms. 5. ChatGPT. On the right is a flag with the text, AI, and several question marks, labeled, Artificial Intelligence. (SPEECH) Today's agenda includes a quick overview of AI, and then we'll talk about a couple of different prompt frameworks. More specifically, we'll talk about prompts you'll need to consider as you plan your lesson. Finally, we will talk about some free generative AI platforms. But due to time, we will focus only on ChatGPT. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, Writing Lesson Plans. A woman sits at her computer and massages her temples. (SPEECH) Every district has their own format for writing lesson plans, and I remember it being a manual and very time-intensive process. Typically, this involves crafting lesson objectives, carefully choosing, arranging and presenting different activities to address a particular learning goal. The conventional approach, while tried and true, can be laborious and may not always adapt seamlessly to the diverse learning styles within a classroom. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, Artificial Intelligence. On the right is an image of a glossy human figure staring at a row of lights on a control panel in a dark room. (SPEECH) What is AI? AI or artificial intelligence is a wizardry that allows machines to learn, adapt, and perform tasks without explicit programming. In education AI is like a tech savvy tutor, bringing innovative solutions to your classroom. It analyzes data to personalize the learning experience, making lessons as unique as each student. AI helps educators create a dynamic and tailored educational journey. It's not just about fancy tech. It's about making learning more engaging, efficient, and personalized for everyone in the classroom. The California Adult Education Digital Learning Guidance was developed by OTAN on behalf of the California Department of Education and serves as a practical resource for adult educators. Chapter 4 titled, Designing Flexible Learning Experiences, introduces different strategies for designing flexible digital learning experiences. With AI you are the designer or prompt engineer. AI can create interesting and effective lesson plans and personalize the learning experience for individual students given clear and precise prompts. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, Prompt Frameworks. Two columns of prompt frameworks, blue RACEF on the left and red RICCE on the right. (SPEECH) There are many different prompt frameworks. In the open prompt book from camp ChatGPT they use the RACEF prompt framework. Which is ROLE, ACTION, CONTEXT, EXAMPLE, FORMAT. There's another AI prompting framework known as RICCE, outlined by Dara Walsh in his YouTube videos. This framework breaks down into ROLE, INSTRUCTIONS, CONTEXT, CONSTRAINTS, and EXAMPLES. While both prompt frameworks, RACEF and RICCE, serve as general structures for guiding AI responses, our attention today will be on the specific requirements for lesson planning and the prompts necessary for generating comprehensive lesson plans. The following lesson plan prompts have been adapted from Casey Bell's K-12 template and other known prompt frameworks. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, Our Lesson Plan Prompt Framework. A 10-prompt framework. Text, 1. Role. 2. Action slash task. 3. Context. 4. Level. 5. Time allotted. 6. Standards slash Learning Goal. 7. Activities to Include. 8. Optional Tools slash Technology. 9. Accommodations. 10. Format. (SPEECH) There are 10 prompts we will be addressing today. Some prompts may not apply to your classroom. However, the more AI knows about your specific classroom, the better it will be able to give you the results you want. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, Writing an AI Lesson Plan Prompt. A sign graphic on the left reads, Your Turn. (SPEECH) I want you to think about your class and the lesson plan you would like to create. (DESCRIPTION) Text, Open a blank document on your computer (MS Word slash Google Docs). (SPEECH) Open a blank document and follow along as we discuss each prompt. Remember, you only need to answer the prompts that apply to your class. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 1. AI Prompts - Role. Text, 1. Very important to first define a distinct role or persona for AI. On the left is a picture of a smiling man with short dark hair, beard, and mustache. (SPEECH) We need to begin by defining the author's identity and role for AI. Assigning a role provides a distinct personality or persona, creating a foundation before outlining the specific task or action we want AI to do. The basic question is, who is AI writing this for? You always need to define the role before stating the task. A sample prompt is, you are a curriculum expert as well as an experienced adult education teacher. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 2. AI Prompts - Action slash Task. Text, 2. State the action or task you want AI to do. On the left is a graphic with multiple hands holding up the word, Task. (SPEECH) Next, we want to specify the task. What do you want AI to do? The sample. Create a student-centered lesson plan for Adult Basic Education students on fractions. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 3. AI Prompts - Context. On the left is a photo of a teacher writing on a whiteboard. (SPEECH) Context in AI prompt refers to any extra details or information that AI requires to enhance its understanding of the task you want it to perform. What more does AI need to know about your class or agency? The sample prompt. Our school is preparing for a WASC visitation and this lesson needs to be engaging and focused on the learning goal. You-- also you might include a majority of students in this class are English language learners. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 4. AI Prompts - Level. On the left is a photo of two men working at a computer station. (SPEECH) Next, what kind of lesson is this? Is it an introductory lesson where you are introducing the topic for the first time, or a review lesson where you want to review what your students have learned in a previous lesson, or perhaps you just want to give your students time to practice this skill? Sample. This is an introductory lesson. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 5. AI Prompts - Time. On the left is a graphic of a clock. (SPEECH) Time. How much time have you set aside for this lesson? You may want to spend an hour a day for an entire week. Be specific. The sample. This lesson should take approximately 60 minutes to complete. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 6. AI Prompts - Standard slash Learning Goal. Text, Is there a specific standard or learning goal you want this lesson to cover? On the left is a graphic of arrows in a target. (SPEECH) What is a specific learning goal you want this lesson to cover? It doesn't have to be a state standard. What do you want your students to learn? (DESCRIPTION) Text, Sample. This lesson should cover Common Core State Standard 3 dot NF.1 dash 3d -- Develop an understanding of fractions as numbers. Slide, 7. AI Prompts - Activities to Include. (SPEECH) This is the fun part of the lesson plan. What kind of activities do you want to include such as collaborative activity, independent work time, pair share, hands-on, class discussion, interactive technology use, role playing, debates, peer teaching, or perhaps a problem solving activity? The sample. Include a collaborative activity and interactive technology use. Use math games to reinforce fractions skills. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 8. AI Prompts - Optional Tools slash Technology. Text, What technology do you have in your classroom? (SPEECH) Next, we want to specify any tech tools you have in the classroom. Do you have a smart board, a document camera, desktop computers, Chromebooks, tablets, or smart TV? (DESCRIPTION) Text, Sample. (SPEECH) There are six desktop computers in the classroom. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 9. AI Prompts - Accommodations. Text, Are there any special accommodations needed? On the left is a photo of man holding his hand up to his ear. (SPEECH) Do your students need any special accommodations? The sample. Include accommodations for hearing impaired students. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, 10. AI Prompts - Format. On the left is a graphic of a clipboard. (SPEECH) The format is one of the most important elements. Do you want a detailed outline, a table, or a timeline of each step, or perhaps a lesson plan in a particular format such as WIPPEA? What does your agency require? If you want a table, be sure to indicate titles for rows and columns. (DESCRIPTION) Text, Sample. Format this lesson with a Warmup, Introduction, Presentation, Practice, Evaluation, and Application. Include details of each step including time requirements. Slide, Sample Prompt. On the left is a QR code titled, Link to prompt template. Text, H.T.T.P.S. colon slash slash bit dot L.Y. slash prompts A.I. -- On the right is the prompt, with all the samples from previous slides put together into one long paragraph. Text, You are a curriculum expert as well as an experienced adult education teacher. Create a student-centered lesson plan for Adult Basic Education students on fractions. Our school is preparing for a WASC visitation, and this lesson needs to be engaging and focused on the learning goal. This is an introductory lesson. This lesson should take approximately 60 minutes to complete. Use Common Core State Standard 3 dot NF.1 dash 3d -- Develop understanding of fractions as numbers. Include a collaborative activity and interactive technology use. Integrate the following tools in the lesson: Interactive smartboard. Use Math Games to reinforce fraction skills. There are 6 computers in the classroom. Include accommodations for hearing impaired students. Format this lesson with a Warmup, Introduction, Presentation, Practice, Evaluation, and Application. (SPEECH) The QR code is a link to information on all the prompts. I've also included a short link below the QR code. While crafting your lesson plan, it's not required to incorporate all the provided prompts. Nevertheless, by providing as much detail as possible to your AI platform, it will likely yield better outcomes. If a particular section doesn't meet your preferences, feel free to instruct AI to rewrite it. You also have the flexibility to request a complete rewrite of the entire lesson plan. Your level of input and customization will play a crucial role in redefining the results to meet your specific needs. This is our sample prompt that addresses all the prompt categories. It is a lot, and the thought of always having to enter this long prompt into AI is a little overwhelming. Think about what changes between each lesson plan you write. The things that remain constant can be entered into ChatGPT and then turned on and off as needed. I will show you how in a little bit. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, AI Platforms. On the left is a graphic of a brain floating over a hand with neon blue circuit boards over it and the text, AI. (SPEECH) There are numerous AI platforms available. All of these, ChatGPT, Google Bard, Claude, Twee, and Diffit for teachers have a free version. Each one is a little different and worth trying out. (DESCRIPTION) Twee is denoted for English Teachers. Slide, ChatGPT Chatbot. A screenshot of a ChatGPT login page. On the right is the text, Get Started, with two blue buttons, Log in and Sign up. Logo, OpenAI. Text, Write a text asking a friend to be my plus-one at a wedding. (SPEECH) Due to time constraints today we are only going to talk about ChatGPT. I have put the link at the top of the slide. (DESCRIPTION) There is no link on the current slide. (SPEECH) If you are on your phone you will only see the right side of the screen. If you have an account go ahead and log in. If not, select Sign up. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, On the left is a screenshot of the Create your account section of ChatGPT with a field for email address, a green continue button, and the text, Already have an account? Log in.

Go to H.T.T.P.S. colon slash slash chat dot open AI dot com slash. 2. Sign up for a new account. 3. Create your account. 4. Log in. (SPEECH) Getting a ChatGPT account is quick and easy. If you put in your email address you will have to go to your email and verify. The easiest way is to use your Google, Microsoft, or Apple account. Please go ahead and sign into your ChatGPT account. (DESCRIPTION) Slide, ChatGPT 3.5. A screenshot of the ChatGPT home screen. On the left is a menu with links for New Chat, history, and Upgrade Plan, with the user profile at the bottom. On the right is the text, How can I help you today? with options below. Suggest some names, Plan a trip, Help me pick, and Explain this code. At the bottom is a text field with the grayed out prompt, Message ChatGPT. (SPEECH) This is ChatGPT home screen. Please note that this is ChatGPT 3.5 and this is the free version. ChatGPT 4.0 is a paid version and currently costs $20 a month. To start a chat we need to paste our prompt in the message ChatGPT field at the bottom of the screen. Now, let's go to ChatGPT. (DESCRIPTION) She goes to the webpage with the same left menu. On the right is a message log. At the top is the sample prompt for the lesson from the slideshow presentation. Below is the beginning of ChatGPT's response. It continues off-screen. (SPEECH) I entered our sample prompt at the bottom where it says message ChatGPT. Let's look at the results. (DESCRIPTION) She scrolls down to view ChatGPT's response. Text, Lesson Plan: Introduction to Fractions (60 minutes). Objective: Students will develop an understanding of fractions as numbers, as per Common Core State Standard 3 dot NF.1 dash 3d. Warm-up (10 minutes): (SPEECH) The lesson is 60 minutes. I have the objective. (DESCRIPTION) She continues to scroll down. Text, 1. Fraction Sorting Game (Interactive Smartboard). The lesson steps are listed. (SPEECH) There is a warm up using the interactive smart board. The introduction is an engaging fraction story, although it doesn't give any details. (DESCRIPTION) She continues to scroll down. Text, Introduction (5 minutes): Engaging Fraction Story. Share a relatable story or scenario involving fractions to capture students' attention.

Text, Closure: Conclude the lesson by summarizing key concepts and connecting them to the real-world application. Encourage students to ask questions and seek additional help if needed. Assign homework related for further practice. (SPEECH) And gives me a closure. Nice. If I don't like the lesson plan I could ask ChatGPT to rewrite it. Each time you will get a different version. If you do, be sure to tell ChatGPT why you don't like it. (DESCRIPTION) She continues to scroll down. Below the lesson are further user input and ChatGPT responses. (SPEECH) But, I wanted more information, So I asked what is an engaging fraction story that I could use, and I got the pizza party dilemma. (DESCRIPTION) She scrolls through the script of the Pizza Party Dilemma given in ChatGPT's answer. (SPEECH) I then went on. Let's take a look at this first. (DESCRIPTION) Text, Title: "The Pizza Party Dilemma." Once upon a time in Mathland, there was a group of friends planning a pizza party. The friends, excited about their favorite food, decided to order a gigantic pizza. However, they faced a challenge - everyone had different preferences when it came to toppings. The pizza was divided into eight equal slices. Each friend had a specific topping they loved, and they needed to figure out how to distribute the slices fairly. Emma: "I love pepperoni! I want 3 slices with pepperoni." Sam: "I'm a vegetarian, so I only want 2 slices with mushrooms." Alex: "I'm a meat lover! Give me 2 slices with both pepperoni and sausage." Jordan: "I'm not a fan of meat. I'll take 1 slice with just cheese." The friends realized they needed to understand fractions to ensure everyone got their desired slices. They began to discuss how to represent their preferences using fractions. They counted the total slices (8) and worked together to allocate the slices according to each friend's preferences. As the friends enjoyed their pizza, they realized that fractions were like a secret code to share and distribute things fairly. The pizza party turned into a fraction feast, where everyone got exactly what they wanted, thanks to their newfound understanding of fractions. This story not only introduces the concept of fractions in a relatable way but also sets the stage for the practical application of fractions in everyday scenarios. She scrolls down to further interaction with ChatGPT. (SPEECH) I then asked ChatGPT, present a real life scenario where fractions are used. And I got baking a batch of cookies. (DESCRIPTION) She scrolls through the ChatGPT response script for the scenario. Text, Scenario: Baking a Batch of Cookies. Imagine you are a baker preparing to bake a batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies. You have a recipe that yields 24 cookies, and you want to share them with your friends and family. However, you also want to customize the recipe to cater to different taste preferences. Here's how fractions come into play: 1. Recipe Modification: The original recipe calls for 2 cups of chocolate chips. You decide to modify the recipe to create different versions of cookies by adjusting the amount of chocolate chips. 2. Fractional Measurements: For the first variation, you want to make cookies with extra chocolate. You decide to use 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. This is represented as 3/2 cups, indicating one and a half cups. For the second variation, you have friends who prefer fewer chocolate chips. You opt for 3/4 cups, indicating three-fourths of a cup. For the third variation, you choose 1/4 cups chocolate chips, catering to those who enjoy just a hint of chocolate. (SPEECH) I want you to know that you can ask ChatGPT to rewrite a section and you will get different results. Chats are stored on the left navigation panel. (DESCRIPTION) She moves the mouse to her left menu and hovers over three dots to the right of the first result under Current Events Update. She clicks and a menu pops up with Share, Rename, and Delete chat. (SPEECH) By selecting the three dots, I can share this chat, rename it, or delete it. If you are going to create several lesson plans in ChatGPT, you will want to rename them so you can easily find them. In the upper right hand corner is another way to share your chat. A shared chat in ChatGPT 3.5 will list you as anonymous. And let's see. Right up here. (DESCRIPTION) She moves the mouse to the top right of the website, obscured behind her video window. (SPEECH) If you want to start a new chat, you need to select New Chat up here. (DESCRIPTION) She indicates New Chat on the top of the left menu. (SPEECH) If you want to start a new chat, you need to select New Chat in the upper left hand corner. Now, I want to show you how you can save custom instructions. Select your name at the bottom of the screen and then custom instructions. (DESCRIPTION) She clicks her username at the bottom of the left menu. A pop-up menu appears with the options Custom Instructions, Settings, and Log out. She clicks Custom Instructions. A Custom Instructions window opens with two text boxes for entering instructions. Box 1 text, What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses? Box 2 text, How would you like ChatGPT to respond? (SPEECH) In the top box write all the prompts that do not change for your class, and any information on how you want ChatGPT to respond. And you can turn on and off your custom instructions at the bottom of the screen. (DESCRIPTION) At the bottom of the window is a toggle on the left, and Cancel and Save buttons on the right. (SPEECH) Don't forget to select Save. In the bottom box, I have written provide reliable sources. Cite credible sources for factual information and include URL links for further reading and verification. I saw this on Dara Walsh's YouTube channel and thought this was important. This does not apply to lesson planning since lesson planning is more subjective than factual. Please keep in mind that ChatGPT has not been updated since January 2022. So you cannot ask about current events. AI is also known to hallucinate every once in a while, so be sure to check your lesson plan carefully. I hope this will get you started writing amazing and engaging lesson plans. (DESCRIPTION) She returns to the slideshow presentation. Slide, Contact Information.
