The sixth week of the Sundarban Faculty Training introduced teachers to a transformative theme — Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT in education. This session aimed to help educators understand how AI can simplify their professional tasks, inspire creativity, and enhance classroom engagement.

During the training, teachers explored the practical applications of ChatGPT in various aspects of teaching. They learnt how to use the tool for drafting lesson plans, generating creative classroom activities, framing questions, and preparing study materials. The session demonstrated how AI can not only save time but also spark innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

Teachers actively participated in exercises that showcased how ChatGPT can support students’ learning in multiple subjects — from improving English communication to solving mathematical problems. The training encouraged them to think about how technology can be meaningfully integrated into their own classrooms, making learning more interactive and accessible.

Beyond technical skills, the workshop inspired teachers to adopt a growth mindset in this new digital era. They discussed how responsible and creative use of AI can empower both educators and students, fostering curiosity, collaboration, and confidence in learning.

The ChatGPT session became a milestone in the ongoing digital journey of Sundarban’s educators. It strengthened their belief that technology, when used thoughtfully, can bridge educational gaps and create richer learning experiences for students in remote communities. By embracing AI tools like ChatGPT, these teachers are paving the way for a future where innovation and education go hand in hand — shaping a smarter, more connected, and inspiring learning environment in the Sundarbans.
