I've been playing with a lot of #AI tools recently, and I'm excited about the possibilities for them in education. Here are 10 quick ideas for how educators could use them in the classroom right now:

1. Do students need help thinking of names for people, places or things in their creative writing? #ChatGPT can help. Just make sure to Google the results too, because it does like to throw some existing ones in there!

2. Help students to bring their creative writing characters to life with #AIart tools like @midjourney_ai or #dalle2. This also helps them to write really detailed descriptions when writing the AI prompts! Here's my character:

3. #AIart generators can also help to bring other elements of a story to life. Here's a ring with a rainbow-coloured stone which is an important object in my story.

4. Need to create quick writing models? #ChatGPT is very good at giving you an example that you can edit. here's a dating profile ad for Mr Twit:

5. Do students need some support with skills development? #ChatGPT can give accessible advice and break it into simple steps:

6. #ChatGPT can also help with organisation and time management in an encouraging and supportive way:

7. Poetry! #ChatGPT can write poems, but they're often quite generic and have mistakes. Ask students to write poems and compare the work created by humans vs AI. Can a poem written by an AI tell us anything about the human experience? It's an interesting discussion!

8. Research. #ChatGPT can help students to plan research and prioritise areas to look into in more detail using other research methods. Helpful if they're unsure where to start.

9. In Design, students can use #AIart generators to 'sketch' out ideas quickly. Products, architecture, costumes, jewellery... AI can take initial ideas in new directions and spark new creativity.

10. #ChatGPT can be your lesson planning assistant! It helped me to get my thoughts in order for a G6 lesson about pinball mechanisms:

These tools are still being developed and improved, so these ideas won't always work perfectly - but I find the creative possibilities of #AI in education pretty exciting! Imagine what it'll be able to do in a year or two.
