This activity 2 follows a constructivist learning theory and aligns with learning objective 6: Confidently integrate digital tools into their teaching workflow.

Activity 2 is split into 2 parts. This activity is designed to emphasize the importance of language and specificity when using GENAI. Practicing the right language and being specific when prompting AI will ultimately make for a more efficient and effective experience.

Part 1: watch this light-hearted video below about a dad asking his kids to explain to him how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. While you watch, please think about how important it is to use precise language when giving directions.

Part 2: Now that you have watched the pb and jelly video from part one, you are ready to prompt AI with this set of sentences and compare the results. 

Intructions:

  1. Copy and paste this set of sentences one at a time, starting with “a” into GEMINI. If you haven’t done so already, sign up for GEMINI. Instructions can be found HERE.
  2. Once you have all of your results, compare and contrast each of the outputs based on the inputs. (Tip: Notice how the results vary as each one gets more detailed).
a) Prompt 1: Make a list of activities 
b) Prompt 2: Make a list of water activities
c) Prompt 3: Make a list of water activities for 10-year-olds
d) Prompt 4: Make a list of water activities for 10-year-olds to do on a field trip at the beach
e) Prompt 5: Generate a list of activities for a class of 5th graders on a field trip to the beach that are fun and align with the bc grade 5 Science Curriculum.
