LLM stands for Large Language Model—a type of artificial intelligence trained on billions of words to understand and generate human-like language. Tools like ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google) are LLMs. They can create assessments, rewrite reading passages, scaffold explanations, suggest accommodations, simulate dialogues—and more.
Today’s edtech platforms increasingly offer built-in “AI tools,” but here’s the truth:
🎯 Most of them are simply sending prompts to these same LLMs behind the scenes.
They’re adding helpful interfaces and presets—but you can get the same (or better) results by prompting directly. Why rely on rigid templates when you can tailor AI responses exactly to your curriculum, students, and teaching style?
If you learn the basic art of prompting, you’ll:
• Save time creating exactly what you want
• Gain more flexibility and creativity
• Adapt materials for specific standards or accommodations
• Work across platforms and tools—ChatGPT today, Gemini tomorrow
So… where do you start?
