Determine whether your school district is a Google school or a Microsoft school to select the appropriate AI-powered chatbot platform (Gemini for Google schools or ChatGPT for Microsoft schools).
Design your chatbot's personality, tone, and key functionalities based on your students' needs and preferences.
Train your chatbot using existing course materials, FAQs, and student inquiries to provide accurate and relevant responses. Include scaffolded learning prompts within the chatbot's knowledge base to guide students through complex topics and provide differentiated support.
Integrate the chatbot (Gemini or ChatGPT) into your district's learning management system (LMS) and communicate with students about how to access and interact with it.
Monitor chatbot interactions, gather feedback from students, and continuously update and improve the chatbot's knowledge base, ensuring that scaffolded learning prompts remain relevant and effective.
