Birdville ISD recommends AI tools that support teaching, learning, creativity, productivity, and problem-solving. These tools are organized for teachers and leaders, secondary students, and elementary students.
AI should be used with purpose, protect student privacy, support equitable access, and keep student thinking at the center. Student use should be guided by the teacher and aligned with district expectations for safety, ethics, and academic integrity.
