TL;DR

What did Teachers Tech use ChatGPT for?

To avoid copy-paste recall worksheets, a teacher prompted ChatGPT with Bloom's verbs for each skill level on a Grade 9 Industrial Revolution unit, assembled the tasks in Word, then added a web source to NotebookLM and asked whether the worksheet matched it. One worksheet covering warm-up, guided and independent tasks across all skill levels. NotebookLM reported the content and terminology matched the source.

What they did

They used a table of Bloom's levels with the verbs to put in each prompt. In ChatGPT they asked for a vocab quiz for remember and understand, a chart comparing positive and negative viewpoints plus a short report for apply and analyze, and a debate task, 'was industrialization progress or harm?', for evaluate and create. They pasted each set into a Word document and added images. Then they added the web page they trust as a source in NotebookLM, pasted in the worksheet and asked whether it was right and matched the information in the source.

How it went

One worksheet covering warm-up, guided and independent tasks across all skill levels. NotebookLM reported the content and terminology matched the source.
