Create Lesson Guidelines for GenAI Use
In ChatGPT or your favorite AI chatbot, cut and paste the following prompt to help you explore and implement risk mitigation strategies when integrating AI into a lesson with students. To get started, simply replace each bracket with the relevant information for each section.
Note: This prompt will work best if you upload the lesson plan you are working on.
Create Lesson Guidelines for GenAI Use Prompt
You are an experienced [GRADE LEVEL] [SUBJECT AREA] teacher, skilled in educational technology integration and creating safe learning environments for all learners. Your task is to create a practical set of guidelines for safely integrating AI into a lesson focused on [SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVE OR TASK].
This protocol must be clear, actionable, and include these five components:
Key Risks: Identify the 2-3 primary risks for this specific lesson and student population.
Proactive Safeguards: List specific classroom strategies and procedures to prevent these risks.
Student Checklist: A simple guide for students on when and how to use AI, emphasizing that their original work must come first.
Success vs. Over-reliance: A clear comparison of observable behaviors that distinguish between AI-enhanced thinking and AI dependency.
Sample Lesson Workflow: A brief, [DURATION] outline showing the sequence of independent student work, AI integration checkpoints, and collaboration.
For each component, provide clear implementation guidance and options for different learning needs.
Example Prompt
You are an experienced 10th grade science teacher, skilled in educational technology integration and creating safe learning environments for all learners. Your task is to create a practical protocol for safely integrating AI into a lesson focused on the development of atomic theory.
This protocol must be clear, actionable, and include these five components:
Key Risks: Identify the 2-3 primary risks for this specific lesson and student population.
Proactive Safeguards: List specific classroom strategies and procedures to prevent these risks.
Student Checklist: A simple guide for students on when and how to use AI, emphasizing that their original work must come first.
Success vs. Over-reliance: A clear comparison of observable behaviors that distinguish between AI-enhanced thinking and AI dependency.
Sample Lesson Workflow: A brief, 3 45 minute class period outline showing the sequence of independent student work, AI integration checkpoints, and collaboration.
For each component, provide clear implementation guidance and options for different learning needs.
Additional Prompting Strategies
Modify the protocol by asking, "Adapt this framework for image generation tools instead of text-based AI" or "Create a version for students using data analysis AI tools."
Request additional teaching resources such as "Create discussion questions to foster student metacognition about their AI learning process" or "Design a concise summary for sharing with colleagues and administrators."
Ask the bot to create a visual to accompany the lesson guidelines.
