🤖 How I Used ChatGPT in My Classroom

Aug 09, 2025

This year, I tried something new in my classroom…
I used AI (Artificial Intelligence) to help me plan a history lesson! 🎉

More specifically, I used ChatGPT to teach my students about the Erie Canal — and it worked better than I expected.

📝 Step 1: Create the Article

I asked ChatGPT to write a short article about the Erie Canal for my 8th grade history class. In seconds, I had a clear, easy-to-understand article ready to go!

📉 Step 2: Change the Reading Level

Some of my students read at different levels. I simply asked ChatGPT to rewrite the article at a 5th grade level, and it did it instantly!

🌎 Step 3: Translate It

Many of my students speak Spanish, so I had ChatGPT translate the article into Spanish too. Now everyone could access the same lesson.

❓ Step 4: Make Questions

Next, I asked it to create 10 questions to go with the article. These helped me check for understanding, and I could even change the questions to English or Spanish as needed.

Using AI saved me time and helped me reach all my students. And this is just the beginning! 🙌
