GALA Literacy Learning Series #20

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

Educators and researchers are interested in ways that ChatGPT and other generative AI tools might move beyond the role of “cheatbot” and become part of the network of resources students use for writing. We studied how high school students used ChatGPT as a writing support while writing arguments about topics like school mascots. We asked: What did students prompt ChatGPT to do? And how did students take up ChatGPT's responses to those prompts? In this webinar, we will share what we found, how we think ChatGPT and other text-based tools might support student writing, and how to avoid some of the potential downsides of these new tools.
