I admit I’m not always a fan of AI (artificial intelligence) because I feel like it keeps us from using our brain in situations where we really should. However, I do agree that AI can be very useful in some areas. More recently I used it to save myself some time and research in my homeschool planning.
Since I know there are many homeschool families out there who could also benefit from AI in this way, I am going to share some of the ways in which I used ChatGPT to help me plan out the year. All of this was completed using the free version of ChatGPT.
Please remember that ChatGPT is not a human; it’s artificial intelligence, and therefore, you do need to further check what it tells you.
Ways to Use ChatGPT for Homeschool Planning
SCHEDULING
Maybe you are trying to homeschool only 4 days a week or maybe you need to know how far along you will be in your curriculum before the new year. Or perhaps you would like a sample weekly schedule for the year. Whatever your scheduling needs are, ChatGPT does a pretty good job of providing some options for you.
Here are some of the questions I asked along with some of the answers I received:
Question: Can you create me a yearly homeschool calendar with the following?
180 days of teaching
1st day of school is August 4, 2025
Last day of school is May 29, 2026
3 days off Thanksgiving week
2 weeks off for Christmas
1 week off in mid-February
1 week off in mid-April
ChatGPT Response:
Question: Can you make me a weekly schedule that incorporates the following curriculum? Read More→
