It is brilliant to have Miss Samah back in Block D dealing with all the day-to-day issues. Mr Lewis would like to show his enormous appreciation for the ladies who stepped up and "held the fort" during the month of January. Many thanks to Miss Dolores, Miss Adelma and Miss Rose Ann for doing such a great job.

We all work hard - if you would like to send a "shout-out" like the one above, send the info etc to Lewis or Renee and we will post it here. 

Using display for learning

The video linked above is a 3-minute piece regarding using classroom display to elevate learning. Well worth a quick watch!

• Sign up at ChatGPT (using your Google account is an option)

• Once you have an account and are signed in, check the prompt box at the bottom of the screen and start your chat.

What can you do?

• ChatGPT is very good with a conversational or Q&A-style exchange.

• It can chat, answer questions, re-style writing, write code and debug, take tests, manipulate data, explain and tutor, and more.

• It can easily write content based on a prompt.

• It can generate data in a table, add indexes, understand JSON, and more.

Limitations:

• ChatGPT is trained on data and does not scour the internet or provide search results.

• It tries to provide accurate results to the best of its ability but can’t help periodically producing a lot of convincing text that is actually total nonsense.

Do you know how you can use it in your classroom?

• Check here 3 ways of using ChatGPT with your students.

Fancy the Theater?

Our own EMS thespian, Mr. Lewis, is gracing the stage this weekend in Blood Brothers...if you like theater, you can get tickets here.
