ChatGPT is a tool with the potential to transform the way we write, communicate, and research. With this potential for transformative use also comes the threat of misuse. This webinar will explore:

• the origins of ChatGPT;
• its likely applications in education and the broader world; and 
• how teachers and students can use ChatGPT constructively while protecting against its misuse. 

Real-time demonstrations and activities will explore how ChatGPT works, its uses in education, potential future evolution, and more.
