As teachers, we’ve all had that moment: you're digging through the back of the supply cabinet, uncovering random items you forgot you had — cups, dice, craft sticks, maybe a half-used pack of index cards. What if you could turn those forgotten treasures into an engaging, standard-aligned activity… in under 10 minutes? With ChatGPT’s camera feature, you can. In this quick guide, I’ll show you exactly how I used ChatGPT to transform a pile of miscellaneous classroom materials into a hands-on math activity for a 3rd-grade learning station — using just a photo and a prompt. ✨ Why Use the Camera Feature in ChatGPT?Instead of typing a long description of what you have on hand, the camera feature allows you to:
🛠 Step-by-Step: Turning Cabinet Clutter into a 10-Minute Math ActivityHere’s how I did it — and how you can too! 2. Snap a Photo Using ChatGPT’s app on my phone, I clicked the camera icon and snapped a quick photo of the materials laid out on a table.
4. Get a Custom Activity Within seconds, ChatGPT responded with a fully formed, standard-aligned activity. For example:
5. Print, Prep, and Go!I copied the activity into a station card, set it on the table, and boom — learning studios ready to go in under 10 minutes. 💡 Bonus Tips

Join Us This Summer!If this quick project using ChatGPT sparked your interest, imagine what’s possible with a full toolkit of AI strategies for your classroom! This summer, we’re offering a series of hands-on professional development workshops designed to help educators harness the power of AI to save time, boost engagement, and personalize learning. One of our most popular sessions is: 🧠 “Did AI Write That?”: How to Authenticate the Learning In this eye-opening workshop, we explore how to tell when students use AI, how to guide them in ethical AI use, and — most importantly — how to design assignments that showcase authentic thinking. Other workshops include:

Let’s transform classroom planning — one photo (and one prompt) at a time. ✨ 🧠 AI Prompts You Can Try with ChatGPT’s Camera Feature📸 General Prompt“Here’s a photo of some classroom materials I found. Can you create a 10-minute, hands-on activity using these materials that aligns to [insert grade level] [subject] standards?” ✏️ Math Prompt (Grades 3–5)“Using the materials in this photo, create a 10-minute math station that practices [multiplication, division, fractions, etc.] and aligns with 3rd-grade TEKS.” 🎨 Cross-Curricular Prompt (STEM + Art)“Design a STEM activity that integrates math and art for 3rd graders using the materials in this photo. Make it hands-on and fun for a learning station.” 📚 Reading or Writing Prompt“Using the materials in this photo, create a short ELA activity aligned to 3rd-grade reading or writing standards. I want it to be creative and interactive.” 👥 Group Work Prompt“Can you turn these materials into a fast-paced, self-directed activity for early finishers in 3rd grade?” 🔁 What Could You Create?Before tossing those random materials — snap, upload, and let AI help you turn them into meaningful learning. Teachers, your cabinet clutter just became your creative superpower. 💪
