Hail Assist in Education tips and tricks.

Hail Assist in Education 

To help our Schools and Education Providers we have created this guide on the type of text prompts you can use to create Hail articles.    It is a guide and we would love to hear how you are using Hail Assist.

Provide Advice to Parents. 

Use Hail Assist to create articles on the information you want to share with your parent community.  You can ask Hail Assist to create this in a language you select.  For example:

• Tips to reduce the time spent on the Internet at home.   What you would ask Hail Assist is  "Write tips for parents on how to reduce time spent on the Internet".  Education is a great tone to use here. 

Other topics:  

• What strategies can help students prepare for exams at a High School.
• Ideas on how to keep kids busy over school holidays.
  
• Tips on how to prevent injuries for high school students playing football.  Tip: Just change football to a different sport or make it more generic and use sport. 
  

Supporting Students at School

• Use Hail Assist to write guidance to help parents.   For example write "Tips for parents on how to improve Creative Writing skills at home".  Tip: Use a tone like simplified to provide simple-to-follow advice

Just replace the words in bold with say Maths, Language, Technology and then try different tones.  

• You can also ask more specific questions, for example:  "Write guidance on how to prepare for NCEA level 2 maths". 

Events and Notices.

Hail Assist can be used to prepare articles on events. For example:

• Write a persuasive article to increase attendance at our upcoming event.   For example:  "Encourage parents to attend the curriculum guidance evening".  Simplified tone works well here.  
• Write a notice about an event or activity in a language that will resonate with your community.  
• Write an article reminding families to sign up for Parent Interviews before the end of the week.  Tip:  Try different tones including the positive tone to encourage parents. 
  

Other ideas for prompts

• You can ask Hail Assist to create a quiz for you. By asking 'Create a quiz with [number] questions on [topic]'. This can be shared to your classroom Blog in Hail.  
• Use age in your request, for example, 'Explain a lunar eclipse for an 8-year-old'.
• Ask Hail Assist to write a joke for kids (that you can use in your joke of the day article)  
• Create recipes: 'Give me a recipe for chicken that includes rice and broccoli'   or "easy guide for my kids to make ice cream'  
• Prompt Hail Assist to write an article covering certain points. Use the ':' to guide what contents.  For example:

Write an article about well-being in primary school-aged students covering the following points:
Exercise
Nutrition
Spiritual
Human connections

Location Specific 

Write ideas on what school-age children can do on a rainy day in Christchurch    Tip:  use the conversational tone for a engaging article that is more like a conversation between you and a parent. 

Guide on what sports 

Education Tone.

Hail Assist includes the Education Tone as an option.  We added this tone as we believe this will be a useful option for educators.  

An education tone generally involves being informative, clear, and focused on providing accurate and helpful information.
When Hail Assisr adopts an education tone, it strives to present information in a structured and organized manner, using a formal or semi-formal language style. It aims to provide explanations, definitions, examples, and relevant details to support its responses. The tone is typically neutral and unbiased, avoiding personal opinions or subjective viewpoints.

and remember:  the more you tweak your questions, the more tailored and useful the information will be!

What not to do 

Remember privacy and do not share any confidential details or personal data when asking Hail Assist to write content for you.
