Using AI for Productivity

 I can't believe that we are already in May! The end of the year my checklists tend to get longer instead of shorter, but that doesn't mean that there is not great learning going on.  

In high school the end of the year also means SO MUCH TESTING.. and that means that often times the library space is being used.  Thank goodness I can travel to classrooms.

A teacher came to me a couple of weeks ago and asked for a lesson that talked about AI and Productivity.  Now, I know that AI is a hot topic.. some agree with the usage and some disagree with the usage. I personally use it EVERY day.

To Prepare:
-looked through Common Sense Media 
-conversed with a fellow librarian (Jessica Ross) on how she had worked with students and using AI tools
-revisited the amazing presentation that I saw while at TLA called Do I Need AI in my Life that was presented by Lindsey Brewer-Munoz and Ami Uselman

After compiling resources (and also thinking about the attention span of a high schooler in May) I came up with a quick lesson.  

To prepare for the Magic School- I did have to create a classroom.

Below is the video of me walking through the lesson- want the whole presentation-

Things I loved about this lesson:

-the kids loved that my friend used Chat GPT to help us go to 7 Buc-ee's in one day- 

-they loved the Which is Real Face page where they had to figure out which face was real

-I LOVED using MagicSchool to write Thank You Notes for Teacher Appreciation

On that note- the list that I made in Goblin.Tools tells me that I need to get started on preparing the books out list of seniors.

Do you use AI? If so- how?
