With the rapid growth of AI, the BCS Digital Learning and School Library Services, alongside the BCS AI Steering Committee, ensures responsible and ethical use of AI tools. All AI resources are reviewed by the committee before being approved for use, in line with district policies, including Technology in the Educational Program (Policy 3220), Responsible Use (Policy 3225), and Integrity and Copyright (Policy 4310).
If you would like to use an AI tool not listed above, please complete the BCS AI Tool Verification Request Form. The BCS Digital Learning Team, alongside the BCS AI Steering Committee, will promptly review your request and contact you with more information.
Teachers and students, are you unsure of the best practices associated with AI resources? Check out the infographics below to get started!
Detecting AI writing is challenging because generative AI continues to evolve quickly. AI Detectors have incorrectly labeled human written text as being from AI. Due to the unreliable nature of current AI Detectors, BCS does not recommend using detector applications at this time.
The use of AI resources requires an understanding of what information the tool collects! Always be aware of the resource's privacy policy and terms of service. The majority of generative AI resources are not permitted for use by those under the age of 13. You should also never share personal information!
For example, ChatGPT requires parent permission for users between the ages of 13 and 18.
Please see the guide linked below when citing AI tools.
Teachers in Brunswick County Schools: If you would like students to use a generative AI resource that requires student login, please submit your request on our Request for Digital Resource Review Form associated with our Ask Before You App Campaign. If you would like to use an AI resource that requires a paid subscription, please speak with your administrator!
This form is available for BCS teachers, students, and staff.
