Khaberni - The ChatGPT app has made its free version available to teachers in the United States until June 2027, in a step aimed at supporting educational staff and alleviating the increasing burdens they bear, whether in terms of time, effort, or personal expenses.
This version allows teachers to use innovative tools to help them organize classrooms, prepare educational materials, and provide support to students without incurring any additional costs, according to tomsguide.
1- Preparing integrated lesson plans within seconds
Teachers can ask ChatGPT to prepare a complete lesson in minutes, considering the different student levels and diverse learning styles. For example, they can request: "Create a 45-minute lesson, including visual educational aids and an additional practical activity."
This method allows teachers to focus on larger tasks such as grading assignments, communicating with parents, or preparing homework, after reviewing the content and adjusting it to align with local educational standards.
2- Designing presentations and visuals using Canva
The educational version includes integration with the Canva platform, which facilitates teachers in preparing visually attractive slide shows and educational materials, for example:
"Create a 10-slide presentation about water for fourth grade, with images and a quiz at the end." The content can be easily edited to appear professional and ready to use without the need for additional formatting.
3- Generating quizzes and educational games
Teachers can quickly create short quizzes and interactive activities. Example: "Write 8 multiple choice questions and two short questions about the solar system, with an answer key provided." Difficulty levels and types of questions (true/false, fill-in-the-blanks) can be specified, and study guides for students can be created using the Study Mode setting.
4- Translating communication with parents
ChatGPT enables teachers to effectively communicate with multilingual families through translating weekly newsletters, parental permissions, or student reports, example: "Translate this weekly newsletter into Spanish while maintaining a welcoming tone" with a need to review translations for accuracy and understanding of local terms.
5- Planning group and collaborative projects
Teachers can easily organize multi-day projects, with assigned student roles, project phases, and assessment criteria. Example: "Design a 3-week project, including student roles, implementation phases, and assessment criteria."
6- Developing alternative plans for substitute teachers
ChatGPT assists in preparing alternative plans for classrooms in case of absences or emergencies, example: "Create an alternate plan for a sixth-grade math lesson on percentages, including an introduction, a main activity, and an additional task."
Class rules and routines can be added to ensure the continuity of the educational process without disruption.
7- Providing targeted feedback to students
ChatGPT helps teachers provide precise and motivational feedback on students' written work, and this tool facilitates the process of expressing the teacher's personal opinions quickly and effectively.
The ChatGPT for Teachers edition is a powerful tool for saving time, organizing educational processes, and supporting students, and it also contributes to reducing pressure and burnout on teachers.
