Too often in education we think we know what is best for our students. Not often enough do we listen and hear what our students are saying about their education. This collection tries to show more of the student perspective.

How to... use ChatGPT to boost your writing

How to... use ChatGPT to boost your writing | The Student Voice | Scoop.it
I think most people who are using ChatGPT to help with writing are doing it wrong. I don’t just mean because they using it to cheat on school assignments (don’t do that) or because they don’t check the facts that ChatGPT gives (they might be made up), but because they have the wrong mental model for how to work with the system.

I have mentioned that ChatGPT isn’t Google, and it isn’t Alexa, but it also isn’t a human that you are giving instructions to. It is a machine you are programming with words.
