When I first started hearing and reading about ChatGPT and all the marvellous things it could do, I was very excited, but my first impressions weren’t that great. Good, but not great. I found it frustrating. I was reading articles about all the marvellous things it could do, but when I tried to get ChatGPT to do those things for me, the results were a bit disappointing. Perhaps you’ve had a similar experience. The reality is that in order to get the best from ChatGPT, you have to learn to understand a little bit about it, the way it thinks and the way it understands language. I soon found that the more I studied this, the better the results were and the more things it would do for me. What I’ll be sharing in this book are some of the ideas and insights I’ve developed from my time working with it. Along with the prompts and prompt templates, you can use to get the same or better results for your students. Contents Chapter 1 - An introduction to ChatGPT where we look at some of the basics such as parts of the interface, what they do and how ChatGPT works. Chapter 2 - We look at what ChatGPT can do to help us prepare engaging materials and how students can interact with ChatGPT. This section will focus on exploiting ChatGPT in the classroom and for homework activities. This includes example materials, ideas and lesson plans that you can try along with the prompts that I used to create the materials. Chapter 3 - We look at some of the ways you can learn more about teaching and ways that you can use ChatGPT to make your workload a little easier to deal with, especially lesson planning and language research. Chapter 4 - We look at a collection of tips for helping you construct prompts. Prompts enable you to get responses from ChatGPT and the better your prompt writing is the better the results you will get. Chapter 5 - We look at some examples of other AI tools that can be used alongside ChatGPT to do various tasks like creating images, audio and video, as well as creating quizzes, presentations and lesson plans. Chapter 6 - We look at some of the various different issues and controversies that ChatGPT raises. 256 pages

This ebook was designed with English language teachers in mind but should have some value for any teacher who is interested in developing their students’ digital literacy and critical thinking skills. The book contains a wide range of suggested activities for both the creation and exploitation of infographics in the classroom. It also helps teachers with tips and advice on how to plan and create infographics and suggestions for which tools to use to produce different types of infographic. Exploiting Infographics follows on from 10 Lessons in Digital Literacy, which is a collection of lesson plans based around infographics, and looks in more depth at the genre and how infographics can be used as both sources of information and as creative learning tasks for students. The tasks that accompany the infographics are intended to encourage students to think more critically about the information they are exposed to and to question the sources of information they find whilst browsing the internet. Exploiting Infographics should help teachers to start creating their own tasks activities and lesson plans for students and to integrate infographics in a way that will enhance students’ critical thinking, digital literacy, language and communication skills.
