This Friday, November 8th, my colleague Diana Benner and I will get a chance to present on the following three topics at the TCEA SysAdmin event being held in Georgetown, Tx. You can find out more registration information online…the event runs for two days, November 7th and 8th.

About the Event

Find out more about the event using the links above. Here’s a quick overview:

To us, it’s clear that what you do is crucial to maintaining high-quality, tech-focused education. As a vital part of the team working to improve students’ classrooms, it’s important that you have access to the training, resources, and support that you need, too. This one-of-a-kind, two-day conference brings together hundreds of CTOs, IT directors, network specialists, technology coordinators, network administrators, technology support specialists, and others in similar roles at the Sheraton Austin Georgetown Hotel & Conference Center to connect on a multitude of relevant and critical topics in educational IT.

That’s why TCEA created our System Administrator and Technical Support Conference (SysAdmin). It’s the conference just for you – the professionals who provide hardware, software, network, and infrastructure support in PreK-16 settings. At SysAdmin, you’ll discuss and learn about topics like software, device and network management, tech support, cybersecurity and internet safety, and so much more, all with other tech professionals just like you.

SysAdmin completely sold out last year, so make sure to secure your spot today!

My Role at SysAdmin

As a presenter, I’m looking forward to the event to showcase three areas:

• AI-Powered Planning: Discover how to leverage AI to analyze and optimize your technology and network plans. This session will explore using custom GPT models to assess disaster recovery, cybersafety, and network architecture strategies, ensuring robust and efficient systems.
• **TCEA PROTECT Privacy: **Learn how to safeguard student data privacy with TCEA’s PROTECT rubric. This session provides K-12 technology leaders with a practical framework to evaluate and implement privacy-conscious edtech tools, ensuring compliance with regulations like FERPA and COPPA while maintaining transparency and security.
• Responsible AI Adoption: Explore the Five Phases of District AI Adoption to responsibly integrate AI into your school system. This session provides a roadmap for K-12 technology leaders, guiding them through secure, phased AI implementation that aligns with district policies, curriculum integration, and community outreach.

Teaser Preso

The image above reflects Compass: A School AI Policy Designer created in Perplexity Spaces. See the ChatGPT Custom GPT version.

I finally had a chance to explore Perplexity Spaces. I am shocked at how much better it is (subjective opinion) than Claude Projects (not to be confused with Artifacts, which Claude continues to excel at) in analyzing documents to inform its chats. Of course, I could be wrong since it’s been a month or so since I last played around in Claude Projects.

What’s more, I have secretly hoped that I could rely on Perplexity Spaces as a replacement for ChatGPT’s Custom GPT.

What I’ve read and experienced so far has me leaning in Perplexity Spaces direction, but Custom GPT continues to edge out Perplexity Spaces. But if Perplexity Spaces keeps innovating, I suspect they will surpass Custom GPT.

Exploring the Difference

Perplexity Space works with free Perplexity accounts. This makes it the equivalent of ChatGPT Custom GPTs in my mind, where a free account is required to interact with an existing Space/CustomGPT.

Perplexity offers an additional benefit. You can use different LLMs. ChatGPT’s Custom GPT’s edge over Perplexity Spaces is slim. What do I think that slim edge is? The CustomGPT design interface. It feels like you are having a conversation with an AI assistant, eager to bring your project to fruition. Perplexity Spaces is more of a warehouse where you can store content with an effective inventory system. To make the transition, Perplexity needs to give its Spaces a human-like presence.

Why not call Perplexity’s agent, Lace or Link?

What about capacity of the files space?

Capacity and Processing

Capacity and processing of data in completing a task are important considerations.

ChatGPT’s Custom GPT

ChatGPT’s Custom GPTs can handle up to 100 files, or 50 megabytes total. Although holding less information than Claude Projects, Custom GPTs are able to leverage uploaded information. Add too much content, you end up with the same problem Claude experiences. I don’t know what the official name for this is, but it’s like a person who can only hold one or two thoughts simultaneously in their mind while doing a task…exceed that capacity, and the task fails.

File format that Custom GPTs can support for upload include:

• Text files (.txt)
• PDF documents
• CSV files
• JSON files
• Images (various formats including .jpg, .png, .gif)

Claude Projects

Claude Projects' allows for a large number of files provided each individual file is under 10MB in size, and does not exceed the total of 500-page book worth of information. While designing a Claude AI for Educators course, I found that Claude was able to handle quite a bit of uploaded content. Unfortunately, I was not so pleased with its ability to process that content without considerable interaction and redirection in my chats. Simply, it appeared to be unable to hold all that content while working on a new task requiring application of the work.

File formats Claude Projects can accept:

• Text documents (e.g., PDF, DOCX, TXT)
• Spreadsheets (e.g., CSV, Excel files)
• Presentations (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Slides)
• Code files (e.g., Python scripts, SQL queries, HTML pages)
• Images (e.g., JPG, PNG, GIF)

Perplexity Spaces

Perplexity’s Spaces can accept 50 files at 25 MBs each or 1.25 gigabytes total (please check my math). If my understanding is accurate, Perplexity’s capacity is greater. I have not yet had the opportunity to test its ability to process tasks, or which LLM is best to have running when doing so.

Supported file formats include:

• Excel (XLSX)
• PowerPoint (PPTX)
• Word (DOCX)
• PDF
• CSV

Comparing the Three

Here’s a chart comparing the three…the information is subject to change with new information:

In Action

I had a lot of fun working on Compass: A School AI Policy Designer Perplexity Space. At the moment, it contains 30 files of varying size (PDFs, Markdown formats). Perplexity made it easy to upload all the files in one go (as opposed to ChatGPT’s Custom GPT which had me do it 10 at a time (sigh).

Perplexity displays these “Space Files” in groups of 10 files, as you can see page 1 below:

To get started, I gave it the following prompt:

Review the Space files and come up with a rubric for assessing school district AI policies, as well as a blank template. Put both documents in markdown table format.

You can see the results online.

I added the rubric and template to the Spaces Files since this is what I was hoping to see.

An Example of the AI Policy

I wanted to see how it would adapt the template, so I gave it this additional prompt:

Divide the blank template into sections with markdown table content beneath each section. Add a column that include sample content for each section, specific to a school district…let’s call it “Ardent Independent School District” or “Ardent ISD” for short.

Here’s the result.

Comparing ChatGPT’s Custom GPT with Spaces

I was pleasantly surprised at ChatGPT’s CustomGPT using the same files and custom instructions.

One feature I love about Custom GPT? The custom questions or prompts it offers the user:

• Can you create a sample AI policy for our district?
• What are the key AI regulations for K-12 education?
• How should we address generative AI in policy?
• Can you review this policy draft for compliance issues?

But it wasn’t all roses. I did encounter an error:

Refreshing the page in the browser (MS Edge) finally allowed the GPT to be published. You can give it a spin here..

Final Thoughts

Perplexity remains my go-to AI chatbot and work assistant. The ability to have a Space with custom instructions is HUGE. My only complaint so far with Perplexity Spaces is that the custom instructions space needs more capacity to allow for more detailed long prompts (a.k.a. megaprompts).

I would also make these improvement suggestions:

• List view for the My Spaces area
• Easy checkbox selection and organization of Spaces into folders
• Separation of Collections and Spaces (Spaces are evolved Collections, essentially) since I have a lot of Collections but not a lot of Spaces yet. The Collections just muddy the waters.
• More capacity for detailed custom instructions

What has been your experience? In the meantime, check out the TCEAignite space. And look for a blog entry on the Custom GPT version of Compass: A School AI Policy Guide at blog.tcea.org in the future.

Wow, pretty interesting conclusion…more studies needed to support this since one study isn’t enough. Check out Dr. Hardman’s take:

A new study from Harvard - currently still under peer review - found that when students were given access to an AI tutor designed using pedagogical principles, it not only doubled their learning gains but did so in less time than traditional methods.

The results offer compelling evidence that AI, when thoughtfully implemented using strict pedagogical principles, could transform how we design, deliver and experience education.

Looking for some easy ways to get content into and out of AI chatbots? Learn to use Markdown. Here are some digital tools you may find helpful. If you are copying-n-pasting from an AI chatbot, chances are it supports markdown. Copy it, paste it into a Markdown to HTML converter, then copy the HTML formatted version into your word processor.

Read on for some more tips with markdown and AI tools.

Copy Webpage Selection as Markdown

You’re on a website. You want to grab part of it. Format and all. Use a browser extension. “Copy selection as markdown” is what you need. Install it. Highlight text on any site. Right-click. Choose “copy selection as markdown.” It’s in your clipboard now. Paste it into your AI chatbot. The formatting stays. It’s that simple.

Here are some good ones for Chrome:

• Selection to Markdown Link
• Copy as Markdown
• Copy as Markdown
• ChatGPT to Markdown

Using Firefox? Try one of these add-ons.

Grab text from a website. Check if it’s fake news. Copy your own writing. Rework it. Select text to show colleagues. Get AI feedback.

Try it. It’s easy. Website to markdown. No fuss.

Convert Google Docs to Markdown

I use Google Docs a lot. My documents have headings. They have formatted text. Sometimes I need to move them. I don’t want to export. I don’t want to save files. I convert them in my browser. I use a Google Doc extension.

The Google Marketplace has many options. I use one. It’s reliable. It’s called Docs to Markdown. Bean Road Communications made it.

Convert WebP to JPG or PNG

ChatGPT and other places give you WebP images. It’s a problem. Many programs don’t use WebP. There’s a fix. Use browser tools. Right-click an image. Save as JPG or PNG. These formats work everywhere.

Here are three tools:

• Convert to PNG
• Convert to JPG
• Convert to WebP

The first two change WebP to PNG and JPG. The last does the opposite. Use them. Make your images work everywhere.

How do you bring about change regarding AI adoption in your school or district? Change management is a massive job that can easily fail due to many factors. Let’s explore how to shift from one phase of District AI Adoption to another, identifying indicators for each phase of progress. You will also get access to a self-assessment you can take that provides specific feedback.

Self-Assessment

Ever get lost in the woods, a jungle, or just driving across a vast expanse? Ok, that maybe reveals a little of where I grew up and how I spent some of my youth. Anyways, you know what I mean. Lost and no idea where you are, not sure what all the signs mean. I got that feeling recently.

I was sitting in a workshop someone else was facilitating and I realized that a lot of people lacked a map to see where they were or might be. I know that maps are helpful to me, even when they aren’t perfect, because it helps me figure out where I am, where I might want to go, and where I’ve been. The map might be inaccurate or wrong in the particulars, but it was still helpful to have one.

That’s the idea that compelled me to develop the five phases of AI adoption. A continuum was insufficient because there are a lot of stakeholders in education, and lots of areas to ponder. You could easily put the AI Secured (originally “banned” until my supervisor suggested changing it) on the left side of a number line, and AI Everywhere on the right side. But all the way in between, lots of factors (e.g. District Policy, Guidance, Governance, Curriculum Impact) have to be considered.

In putting together an assessment, it was important to provide a tool that schools and organizations could use to gauge their progress. After putting the paper tool together, it was a simple matter to drop it into Custom GPT via OpenAI’s ChatGPT to make an assessment.

Paper Version

Here’s a self-assessment for gauging where your district is at in terms of the five phases of School District AI Adoption:

The information for SHINE for organizations doesn’t appear in the blog entry since it was created afterwards. But it does provide a little more information.

Reflections

You know, in preparing these, I was reminded of the many conversations I had about bringing Ed Tech into schools in my work as an Instructional Technology Director and Technology Operations Director.

A 3-2-1 for Michael Bungay Stanier’s “The Advice Trap”:

3 Key Ideas

• The “Advice Monster”. This is our tendency to immediately offer advice when asked for help, which often leads to ineffective solutions and stunts the growth of others.

• Be more coach-like. Being more “coach-like” involves staying curious longer, asking thoughtful questions, and resisting the urge to give immediate advice.

• Coaching mindset. Adopting a coaching mindset can lead to stronger team performance, more empowered employees, and better organizational outcomes.

2 Relevant Quotes

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”

— Naguib Mahfouz

“Generous silence provides space for the other person to be with their own self, for you to be with them, for presence to show up. It allows them to take a breath. It whispers, ‘This is an interesting place to be. Let’s hang out here for a moment.'”

— Michael Bungay Stanier

1 Tip to Apply

• Practice the “AWE Question” - “And What Else?" - when in conversations. This simple question encourages the other person to dig deeper, explore more options, and often leads to better insights and solutions without you having to provide direct advice.

The integration of AI in education is not a future possibility—it’s our present reality. This shift demands more than passive acceptance or futile resistance. It requires a fundamental reimagining of how we teach, learn, and assess knowledge. As AI becomes an integral part of the educational landscape, our focus must evolve. The goal isn’t to outsmart AI or to pretend it doesn’t exist, but to harness its potential to enhance education while mitigating the downside. The question now is not whether AI will change education, but how we will shape that change to create a more effective, equitable, and engaging learning environment for all. Via Ethan Mollick

Designing ChatGPT custom GPTs this week has been so easy and fun. I had a few custom GPTs made, but it has been awhile since I spent so much time fine-tuning a custom GPT. Here are three of my recent creations, along with a few older ones. I’ll be featuring the new ones at various events, listed beneath each. Four through seven, I developed a few months ago when I first started playing around with ChatGPT’s Custom GPT interface.

What is cool is how easy it is to build a solution. Anyone, after taking the time to learn how to construct prompts and with a clear project in mind, can make one. I can think of a few uses, but revising campus/district improvement plans, designing coaching schedules (or any type of schedule) would be child’s play. A lot of that horrible, no good paperwork that educators at the campus level have spent countless hours on, simplified. The only question, “Will anyone have time to learn to use this well enough to leverage its use?” is the one rattling around in my head.

I remember the time I learned how to use Harvard Graphics to make graphs. Yes, it was a long time ago, and it’s funny that this was what marked someone’s decision to push me into campus instructional technology specialist position (along with a few other actions, of course). But it’s the one I remember. It was like the first-time use of Alpha IV database program to organize some kind of campus assesment data. To my knowledge, I was the first to do that.

But now I imagine that there will be a lot more “firsts” for educators as they apply AI to old problems that have long enjoyed a static solution. That’s pretty amazing. It’s been a long time since that’s happened.

My three latest ChatGPT Custom GPT creations:

1) Academic Prompt Architect - https://tinyurl.com/tceaaiapa

Refines your AI prompt into something amazing. You can match it to a variety of acronyms like APE, BAB, CARE, CAPE, CER, CLEARER, ERA, PLAN, RETO, RTF, TCEA, and more.

This will be shared at the TCEA Lunch and Learn event, “Unlock the Power of Prompt Writing Acronyms”. This event takes place on Wednesday, August 28th.

2) AI-Powered Plan Analyzer - https://tinyurl.com/tceaaip

This analyzes school district technology planning documents aligned to state/national standards/guidelines, helps you craft project management plans, generate network maps, etc. I wish I had enjoyed access to something like this as a technology director.

This will be featured at the TCEA SysAdmin 2024 event on November 8th. I have a ton of materials to go with this, and I’m really looking forward to sharing it with the audience with my colleague Diana Benner.

3) TCEA Essential Learning Expectations (ELEs) Alignment Assistant - https://tinyurl.com/tceaelesassistant

This tool aligns anything academic you give it to a set of standards targeting the use of technology in schools. It does this from the perspective of a teacher, school leader/administrator, instructional coach, student. It also does it for AI in Education.

This will appear in a Monday, August 26, 2024 blog entry.

In addition to those three, I have a few more that I made along the way…

4) Critical Thinking Analysis Tool - https://chatgpt.com/g/g-MERshoT7E-critical-thinking-analysis-tool

This one was one of the first ones I made, inspired by Melanie Trecek-King’s FLOATER:

Ever wish you had an AI assistant to help you analyze claims your friends, colleagues, or strangers make? Use Melanie Trecek-King’s FLOATER approach to analyze claims. This unauthorized, albeit educational, version of an FLOATER AI Assistant relies on the excellent work of ThinkingIsPower.com.

5) ALDO Coach - https://chatgpt.com/g/g-Eei16Itgu-aldo-coach

This one is intended to guide educators in implementing Visible Learning and SEL strategies through the use of the Amazing Lesson Design Outline (ALDO).

6) Hemingway’s Style - https://chatgpt.com/g/g-AWjFiYsrN-hemingway-s-style

Ok, on second thought, this may be the first one I ever made. It’s quite bare bones, but it was a test to see if I could get something that might work like HemingwayApp website (which I purchased for offline use and has been of great use to me as a blogger…I may have written over 600 blog entries using that). It’s pretty simple, so I may need to look under the hood and update the prompts and resources it draws upon.

7) Travel Agent AI - https://chatgpt.com/g/g-323ILBL24-travel-agent-ai

This was another experiment I did after reading or hearing someone else had done something similar. It was also an example I featured in the TCEA ChatGPT for Educators course I worked on.

And, finally, one I had forgotten I made to help with social media posts….

8) TCEA Social Media Maestro - https://chatgpt.com/g/g-KfCE7xeD0-tcea-social-media-maestro

This one, I made to help me with search engine optimization (SEO) friendly copy, copywriting/editing for social media posts like Twitter/X (but I’m no longer on X, so I use it for Facebook, Threads, and Mastodon).

Reflections

You know, I can easily imagine custom chatbots like this for specific purposes relevant to a particular field. They take a lot of the hard work out of some time-intensive tasks. Of course, they aren’t perfect, and you have to know what to ask for. But with the right training data, documents, etc., custom prompts, you can get pretty close to a great result. I have to admit that of the two experiences, ChatGPT Custom GPT vs Claude Projects, I’m liking ChatGPT Custom GPTs a lot more. With Claude, I feel like I have to explain it like it is 5 years old.
