AI for teacher productivity- What are you hacks?

We all love to work smarter not harder!

A discussion has begun at my school about using AI to support teaching load and productivity. My goal is to create a series of key prompts that teachers can utilise to support with their productivity.

In my experience, I think the first step is to identify what YOU want/need from generative AI. How would you define productivity?

For example, I teach cybersecurity and have created prompts to simulate interactive networking solutions that allow students to have hands-on capabilities from anywhere they have a connection to the Internet. This helps open time in our cybersecurity lab classroom.

I have also created prompts to generate logs for analysis in lab activities. It's much quicker to ask for logs that show specific activities, verify them, and incorporate them into my classes than to set up virtual machines, capture the traffic, export it, etc.

I also recently ran a workshop to introduce faculty to vibe coding in Swift Playgrounds. Hopefully this will allow other professors to create interactive teaching tools for their students. As a demonstration, I created a functional phishing e-mail simulator in fifteen minutes.

These all help me take advantage of my university's 1:1 iPad program and leverage generative AI. For others, generative AI might be leveraged to help address a completely different want/need.
