# Prompts for Education: Enhancing Productivity & Learning

## About this Repository

Welcome to the Prompts for Education repository! Our mission is to transform the way students, educators, and staff in K-12 and higher education institutions interact with generative AI technology like ChatGPT and Bing Chat. By using these prompts, staff can save time and work more efficiently, and students can explore new and exciting learning opportunities.

Whether you're a student, a third-grade teacher, a college professor, or a school administrator, this collection is designed with you in mind. No technical expertise required!

## Responsible AI with the Azure OpenAI and Bing Chat

At Microsoft, we're committed to the advancement of AI driven by principles that put people first. Generative models such as the ones available in Azure OpenAI Service and Bing Chat have significant potential benefits, but without careful design and thoughtful mitigation, such models have the potential to generate incorrect or even harmful content. Microsoft has made significant investments to help guard against abuse and unintended harm, which includes a registration process for access to the Azure OpenAI Service, incorporating Microsoft’s [principles for responsible AI use](https://www.microsoft.com/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1:primaryr6), building content filters to support customers, and providing responsible AI implementation guidance to onboarded customers.

More details on the RAI guidelines for the Azure OpenAI Service can be found [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/legal/cognitive-services/openai/transparency-note?context=/azure/cognitive-services/openai/context/context).

## Responsible AI Principles

- **Fairness:** AI Systems should treat all people fairly.
- **Reliability and Safety:** AI systems should perform reliably and safely.
- **Privacy and security:** AI systems should be secure and respect privacy.
- **Inclusiveness:** AI systems should empower everyone and engage people.
- **Transparency:** AI systems should be understandable.
- **Accountability:** People should be accountable for AI systems.

## Disclaimer

While the prompts in this repository are designed with care and intended for educational use, users should be aware of potential risks in their application. Large Language Models (LLMs) may interpret prompts in ways that were not originally intended, leading to unexpected or inappropriate responses. We strongly encourage users to customize the prompts to fit their unique contexts, students, and needs, and to review the responses from LLMs for suitability and accuracy. Always exercise caution and professional judgment when incorporating these prompts into your educational environment.

## What's a Prompt?

Think of a prompt as a special question or statement that you can give to an artificial intelligence model like GPT. It's designed to provide you with information, insights, or even creative ideas tailored to your needs. It's like having a knowledgeable assistant at your fingertips!

Administrators, teachers, and other staff members can utilize these prompts to:

- **Create Engaging Lessons:** Quickly design interesting and interactive lessons that captivate students.
- **Answer Student Questions:** Provide accurate and fast answers to common student inquiries.
- **Automate Routine Tasks:** Simplify day-to-day tasks with ready-to-use prompts.

## New Learning Opportunities for Students

Students can use these prompts to:

- **Explore Subjects in Depth:** Dive into various subjects with expert guidance.
- **Enhance Creativity:** Develop writing, artistic, and critical thinking skills.
- **Personalize Learning:** Tailor their learning experiences to their individual interests and needs.
