How it works: Ask ChatGPT a question or give it a request. It will respond. ChatGPT works by analyzing patterns in language from vast amounts of text to predict and generate words, sentences, and ideas that fit your request. It doesn’t “think” like a person but instead uses probability to provide responses that sound natural, relevant, and helpful.

Pricing and terms: It's a "freemium" tool, meaning there's a free plan and a paid premium plan.
Free users have rate limits on how much they can use certain advanced models (like GPT-4o) in a given time window. Once those limits are reached, they may have to wait or drop back to simpler models. The free version of ChatGPT gives you access to a powerful AI that can help brainstorm ideas, draft text, and answer questions, but it runs on an earlier model that may be slower and less capable.

The paid version (ChatGPT Plus $20/month) uses the latest, more advanced models, which are faster, more accurate, and better at handling complex tasks. For educators, this means quicker responses, higher-quality outputs, and more reliable support for lesson planning and teaching.
