There is no limit to its implementation in your instruction. ChatGPT has a part to play in grading, planning, instruction, and learning. Adapt – Using ChatGPT for specific needs, such as tailoring to certain subjects or supplementing--rather than replacing--traditional teaching methods. Abandon – Not using ChatGPT. This could be because of a fear of tech dependence, loss of personal interaction, or concerns about data privacy. All are valid reasons not to use ChatGPT. Jared and Rob agree that “Adapt” fits best for how they would use ChatGPT in instruction. For educators considering how they will use ChatGPT, Rob and Jared recommend considering teaching style, needs of students, resources available (accessibility), and their personal comfort level with technology.
