[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how did they use textbooks before? Maybe ChatGPT can help supplement the textbook with standardized testing requirements planning.[/quote]

Textbooks were huge before standardized testing. Since SOLs started in earnest, they have gone the way of the dinosaur. It's too expensive to replace them every 7 years and only use them for 5.

The digital textbooks are easier. With those licenses (mathspace, for my subject), I have access to problems from elementary through Algebra 2 and can fish for the standards I need regardless of what textbook they are officially aligned to.  My algebra 1 classes have some things on their homework this week from the 6th grade textbook and others from the algebra 2 textbook. It's kind of wild.

ChatGPT is absolutely terrible and making math worksheets.  Ask it to make one.  "Create a worksheet with an answer bank asking students to graph quadratic inequalities. Give them the quadratic graph and just ask them to shade".  It can't do it. It returns....gibberish. "Create a self checking worksheet for students to turn 2 ordered pairs into the slope intercept form of a line. Make sure both the x and y intercepts come out as integers." Can't do that either. Nothing will be integers.  "Create an AP Calculus style free response question similar to 2008 #2.  Test the same concepts, but do it in a different way."  It will literally just replace the word "cars" with "bicycles".  When you tell it that's not a different way to test the concept, it will apologize and change "bicycles" to "roller skates".[/quote]

I don’t teach but yes this is my type of experience trying to get ChatGPT to do the stuff I most would like to outsource from my job.

It is really really good at summarizing docs, and very bad at anything that requires layout or analysis of things other than words. [/quote]
