AI-Assisted Newsletter Assignment

 Carolina Ramirez                                     LSSL 5391 Digital Tech for The School Librarian

AI Generated Library Newsletter (Chat GPT 3.5)  

I utilized the Chat GPT 3.5 to generate a September Newsletter for the library. I wanted the staff,

 students and parents to be aware of all the activities that would be done in the month of September. I

 started by using the title "September Newsletter: School Library Updates. In the beginning, I

 did have some problems getting the newsletter to advertise what I wanted to transmit to the parents. I

 had to try several times to change the newsletter and be very precise as to what I wanted AI to

 generate. However, I also thought that it was great to be able to give AI an idea and have it generate a

 whole newsletter. I thought AI did an awesome job creating the newsletter. I think what is missing is

 the graphics that would make it look more inviting to the elementary audience. I believe that the

 newsletter is very accurate. I like that it generated the upcoming events with the activities that our

 elementary celebrates. Overall, the AI did an excellent job in creating the newsletter, but I would have

 used more graphics. I highly recommend using Chat 3.5 to help generate a newsletter to keep 

everyone updated with library information.

  1. You make some great points about how genAI makes newsletters~ to complete the newsletter you can add graphics, for sure. Look at Unsplash or have DallE create them for you, for sure. This newsletter is very engaging! I'm curious: did you work with a team member?

  4. Hi Carolina! This is a great newsletter! It's amazing how quickly ChatGPT can create a full newsletter with just a few instructions. I agree, adding more graphics would help for an elementary audience, but it sounds like ChatGPT did a great job overall. It's definitely a time-saver!
