Great course for teachers. Students need to know today how to use AI as an assistant. The world is changing and they will face new challenges in all industries. They will learn the best practice to prompt, to create some plans, how AI has some reasoning and better use the tools inside for deep search and more.

O curso foi extremamente relevante e bem organizado, especialmente por abordar o uso do ChatGPT de forma prática. A estrutura dos módulos facilitou muito a compreensão progressiva, indo do básico ao uso mais estratégico da IA.
Um dos grandes destaques foi a ênfase na estrutura Tarefa–Contexto–Expectativa, que trouxe clareza sobre como escrever prompts eficazes e obter respostas mais úteis e aplicáveis. Isso não só economiza tempo, como também melhora significativamente a qualidade dos materiais pedagógicos criados. Além disso, os exemplos práticos, estudos de caso e questões reflexivas ajudaram a consolidar o aprendizado e mostraram como a IA.
De forma geral, o curso ampliou minha compreensão sobre como utilizar o ChatGPT de maneira intencional, estratégica e pedagógica, deixando claro que a IA é uma ferramenta de apoio poderosa quando usada com propósito.

Time-Saving Many educators online mention that ChatGPT significantly reduces prep time for lesson plans, grading drafts, feedback, and paperwork when used as a helper rather than a replacement.
