ChatGPT generates remarkably human-like write-ups but lacks something important: a unique personal voice. While ChatGPT can compose thoughtful prose on any topic, the phrasing often rings hollow. To make ChatGPT truly your writing companion, you need to train it to write with your style, pacing, word choices, and tone.
Cultural feedback styles Students yearn for constructive feedback. However, some feedback can be discouraging if not well received by the students. There is individual variation in how students are used to getting feedback and

By leveraging the power of technology in the classroom educators can truly transform the learning experience for their students.
As we look to the future, these tools can be used to enhance education in ways we never dreamed possible. However, we must keep in mind the powerful role that educator voice plays and the imperativeness of providing equal access to technology regardless of socioeconomics.
I recently participated in three roundtable discussions with Dee Lanier, Micah Shippee and Monica Burns at Samsung offices in New Jersey. We discussed tech in the classroom: the current and future state of education, how the connected classroom enhances the teacher and student experience and the impact of interactive displays in education.
The discussions we had were powerful and there we some fantastic takeaways from them.

If you believe you have taken some photos people would be willing to pay for, you need to know the most profitable places to sell photos online. Thankfully, there are some reputable websites that can help you turn those photos into cash, and selling your photos online can help diversify your income. I know, I know --this is not directly related to education. However, we educators often are on the lookout for ways to augment our income. I thought this might interest someone and I find MakeUseOf to be a pretty reliable source of information. -Jim

What we can say with certainty is that ChatGPT is a reliable writing assistant, provided you use it in the right way. If you have to put words in order as part of your job, here's how ChatGPT might be able to take your writing to the next level—at least until it replaces you, anyway.

Increasingly powerful AI systems are being released at an increasingly rapid pace. This week saw the debut of Claude 2, likely the second most capable AI system available to the public. The week before, Open AI released Code Interpreter, the most sophisticated mode of AI yet available. The week before that, some AIs got the ability to see images.
And yet not a single AI lab seems to have provided any user documentation. Instead, the only user guides out there appear to be Twitter influencer threads. Documentation-by-rumor is a weird choice for organizations claiming to be concerned about proper use of their technologies, but here we are.
I can’t claim that this is going to be a complete user guide, but it will serve as a bit of orientation to the current state of AI. I have been putting together a Getting Started Guide to AI for my students (and interested readers) every few months, and each time, it requires major modifications. The last couple of months have been particularly insane.
This guide is opinionated, based on my experience, and focused on how to pick the right tool to do things. I have written separately about the kinds of tasks you may want AI to do, which might be useful to read first.

The public release of ChatGPT last fall kicked off a wave of interest in artificial intelligence. A.I. models have since snaked their way into many people’s everyday lives. Despite their flaws, ChatGPT and other A.I. tools are helping people to save time at work, to code without knowing how to code, to make daily life easier or just to have fun.
It goes beyond everyday fiddling: In the last few years, companies and scholars have started to use A.I. to supercharge work they could never have imagined, designing new molecules with the help of an algorithm or building alien-like spaceship parts.
Here’s how 35 real people are using A.I. for work, life, play and procrastination.
Communicating expectations is a necessary step towards an academically honest relationship between student, assessment, and instructor. But it’s not sufficient. Students will be much more likely to follow the rules if they understand why they exist in the first place.

My original text side-by-side with suggestions from ChatGPT I’ve already forgotten what it was to write without an AI writing assistant. “Proofread, please.” I can no longer imagine a world where this prompt would not give me access to immediate feedback from my AI partner.

Ask your students, What do you know or have you heard about ChatGPT? Have you experimented with it yourself? What did you think of it? What questions do you have?
Depending on their responses, they may need a broad introduction to the tool. If so, we recommend an episode of The Daily called “Did Artificial Intelligence Just Get Too Smart?” (Students can follow along via the transcript.)
