The course opened up a range of AI platforms for education and provided opportunities to explore how to effectively apply them to my teaching. Additionally, the opportunity to explore and discuss effective commands in LLM (such as ChatGPT) achieved great results in planning lessons, ideation and scaffolding support and extension in my mainstream classroom...This is a space that will grow rapidly, and I certainly feel more confident and equipped to come along with it. I will adamantly say that the teacher is still the most important element in the classroom, but a teacher with the tools to work even better in their field? That's definitely a plus.
