"Many people use ChatGPT for various legitimate uses, including answering questions, generating content, explaining complex concepts, and writing code. However, the limitations of the free version of the chatbot, like delayed responses, can be frustrating.
"Malicious actors often exploit these limitations by encouraging users to download a supposedly premium version of ChatGPT for free. The fake chatbot may contain malware that can be used for cyberattacks, like data theft.
"Here’s a list of malicious ChatGPT-themed domains and apps that you need to be aware of."

"We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. They offer a new, more intuitive type of interface by allowing you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about.
"Voice and image give you more ways to use ChatGPT in your life. Snap a picture of a landmark while traveling and have a live conversation about what’s interesting about it. When you’re home, snap pictures of your fridge and pantry to figure out what’s for dinner (and ask follow up questions for a step by step recipe). After dinner, help your child with a math problem by taking a photo, circling the problem set, and having it share hints with both of you.
"We’re rolling out voice and images in ChatGPT to Plus and Enterprise users over the next two weeks. Voice is coming on iOS and Android (opt-in in your settings) and images will be available on all platforms."

"Most people use the incognito browsing mode when they want to keep their browsing history private. But did you know that incognito mode isn't actually private?
"When using incognito mode in your web browser, you may think that your activities are completely anonymous and untraceable. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and other third-party entities may still be able to track your online activity, even during private browsing. Not only that but if you share your device with others, even they can find out what you visited in incognito mode."

"Google's Arts & Culture app is a miniature mobile masterpiece, which anyone with even a passing interest in art will enjoy exploring. Launched in 2016, it was originally designed to complement the Google Arts & Culture website, which lets you virtually visit thousands of galleries and museums around the world.
"But the app, which you can download for free for Android and iOS,, now goes far beyond that. It uses the latest technology to deliver an immersive, educational, and entertaining art experience. Let's take a look at the best things you can do in Google Arts & Culture."

"ChatGPT is a powerful AI chatbot that is quick to impress, yet plenty of people have pointed out that it has some serious pitfalls.
"From security breaches to incorrect answers to the undisclosed data it was trained on, there are plenty of concerns about the AI-powered chatbot. Yet, the technology is already being incorporated into apps and used by millions, from students to company employees. "With no sign of AI development slowing down, the problems with ChatGPT are even more important to understand. With ChatGPT set to change our future, here are some of the biggest issues."

The writing workshop instructional approach creates a writing community in your classroom. Follow these simple steps to set up a writing workshop:
Step 1: Plan your writing workshop.
In a writing workshop, a typical 50-minute class has four stages:
Minilesson: Spend about 10 minutes introducing a new writing concept to the class and asking students to apply it. You can select from many free minilessons on the Thoughtful Learning website or use the many writing strategies in a writing handbook.
Status of the Class: Spend about 5 minutes tracking the work each student will do that day.
Individual Work: Provide students with 30 minutes to work on their projects. Meanwhile, you can conference with individual writers or small groups.
Whole-Class Sharing: Leave about 5 minutes at the end of class for students to share portions of their work.

"What if you could generate AI images directly in Google Search? That's exactly what Google is experimenting with withing its AI-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE) feature.
Making Images Come to Life in Google Search
"Google launched its SGE feature in August 2023, providing users with answers to their queries right on the search page. Google has now expanded its SGE abilities to include AI image generation.
"The update allows users to create images with generative AI by typing a text description in Google Search. You describe your idea, and SGE will provide up to four generated images in the search results. You can then tap on any of those images and edit the description further to add more details and refine your vision."

"We’re sharing a few stories of how educators are using ChatGPT to accelerate student learning and some prompts to help educators get started with the tool. In addition to the examples below, our new FAQ contains additional resources from leading education organizations on how to teach with and about AI, examples of new AI-powered education tools, and answers to frequently asked questions from educators about things like how ChatGPT works, its limitations, the efficacy of AI detectors, and bias.
"How teachers are using ChatGPT
"Role playing challenging conversations
Dr. Helen Crompton, Professor of Instructional Technology at Old Dominion University, encourages her education graduate students to use ChatGPT as a stand-in for a particular persona—like a debate partner who will point out weaknesses in their arguments, a recruiter who’s interviewing them for a job, or a new boss who might deliver feedback in a specific way. She says exploring information in a conversational setting helps students understand their material with added nuance and new perspective.
"Building quizzes, tests, and lesson plans from curriculum materials
Fran Bellas, a professor at Universidade da Coruña in Spain, recommends teachers use ChatGPT as an assistant in crafting quizzes, exams and lesson plans for classes. He says to first share the curriculum to ChatGPT and then ask for things like fresh quiz and lesson plan ideas that use modern or culturally relevant examples. Bellas also turns to ChatGPT to help teachers make sure questions they write themselves are inclusive and accessible for the students’ learning level. “If you go to ChatGPT and ask it to create 5 question exams about electric circuits, the results are very fresh. You can take these ideas and make them your own.”
"Reducing friction for non-English speakers
Dr. Anthony Kaziboni, the Head of Research at the University of Johannesburg, teaches students who mostly don’t speak English outside of the classroom. Kaziboni believes that command of English is a tremendous advantage in the academic world, and that misunderstandings of even small details of English grammar can hold back students from recognition and opportunity. He encourages his students to use ChatGPT for translation assistance, to improve their English writing, and to practice conversation.
"Teaching students about critical thinking
Geetha Venugopal, a high school computer science teacher at the American International School in Chennai, India, likens teaching students about AI tools to teaching students how to use the internet responsibly. In her classroom, she advises students to remember that the answers that ChatGPT gives may not be credible and accurate all the time, and to think critically about whether they should trust the answer, and then confirm the information through other primary resources. The goal is to help them “understand the importance of constantly working on their original critical thinking, problem solving and creativity skills.”

Let’s take a look at what the research says about the use of virtual manipulatives in mathematics learning:
Need to foster abstract reasoning? Manipulatives allow students to move from concrete experiences to abstract reasoning. (Heddens, 1986; Reisman, 1982; Ross and Kurtz, 1993 as cited here)
Want to help students think and reason in more meaningful ways? Provide them with manipulatives. You can develop students’ well-grounded interconnected understandings of mathematical ideas. Do this when you give students concrete ways to compare and operate on quantities. Manipulatives such as pattern blocks, tiles, and cubes can assist in accomplishing this.
Long-term use of manipulatives in the classroom has yielded some additional benefits such as:
Verbalizing mathematical thinking
Discussing mathematical ideas and concepts
Relating real-world situations to mathematical symbolism
Working in collaborative ways
Thinking in a divergent manner to find a variety of ways to solve problems
