Listen Later

AI is everywhere right now, but what does it really look like in a high school classroom?

In this episode of the Confident Chemistry Teacher Podcast, I’m sharing 3 practical ways I use ChatGPT to save time, reduce stress, and support student learning — including one that completely surprised me.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

  1. Parent emails made easier — how I use ChatGPT to polish tone, grammar, and professionalism (especially when I’m frustrated 🙃).
  2. Better post-lab questions — how I generate new, customized questions and answer keys that connect more closely to my lesson goals.
  3. Student skill supports — how ChatGPT helped me create simple “how-to” lab cards for rulers, balances, and cylinders when my Biology students needed extra scaffolding.

    4. Whether you’ve been curious about AI or you’re already experimenting with it, these teacher-tested tips will give you simple entry points you can try right away.
