Writing another book.

After really enjoying the process of putting together my book on questioning techniques in Economics, I decided it was time for volume two – a book on differentiation. This also linked to some department objectives for the year so it made perfect sense to develop a bespoke resource which could be used to good effect throughout the year in our teaching.

Already armed with lots of ideas that just needed refining, me plus ChatGPT did not need long on this one. I honestly couldn’t believe it myself – one hour. That’s how long it took for me to ideate, discuss, structure, write, and then refine.

I did then play around a bit more on the topic of differentiation as the chat I had spent the  last hour on was so accustomed to my methods and techniques. I posed potential situations and asked for advice on how I could work with particular students to make a topic/class more accessible and help them reach their potential. I was astounded at the results. Using ChatGPT to discuss problems and come up with new ideas and solutions is astonishingly productive. In this case it was looking for ways to differentiate a particular topic according to some specific learning needs, but it really could be anything. Having AI at my disposal, and in particular ChatGPT, is like having an extension to my brain, allowing me to think more, think faster, and think deeper. All with the whole internet at my disposal too – amazing!
