MAETL Guidelines for Teachers for Responsible AI Use in Education
This provides teachers a strong foundation for staying current with evolving technology and for navigating policies that protect students and the data accessed on school computers.
Important considerations for teachers:
1) Only use AI tools supported by your division (in BPSD we have access to Google Gemini & Microsoft Co-Pilot) If you have trouble accessing these, speak with your principal or tech support.
2) Understand the difference between licensed (paid) and unlicensed tools (free). Often the fact that they are free means they have access to your information.
3) Never upload student work, personal information, or confidential data into public AI platforms.
4) The teacher is solely responsible for the assessment/marking of the student work, not AI.
5) Proofread, verify, and adapt AI-generated content for accuracy, context, bias, and tone.

AI Impacts the Environment
AI Impacts the Environment
This resource for teachers provides a classroom guide and discussion questions.
AI's main impacts on the environment are
~ Data centers use approximately 1-1.5% of global electricity.
~ Huge amounts of water are used, about 16 oz. for every 5-50 AI prompts.
~ Creating ChatGPT produced 552 tons of CO₂, equal to driving 123 gas-powered cars for a year!
~ Generating an image on AI requires as much power as fully charging your smartphone
~ Some estimate that the carbon footprint of an AI prompt is 4 to 5 times higher than a search engine query.

Notebook LM can do many neat things, and in Dec. more features were added so it can now make excellent Infographics (where the words are actually all spelled correctly!) . The basis of this is that you can upload specific sources for it to pull from. Say I want an infographic specific to a rubric and kind, helpful feedback, I can upload multiple sources to draw from.
If you're new to this, other great features are Mind Map, Flashcard, Quiz, Reports, Slide Deck, Data Table, Audio overview (which makes a podcast), and Video Overview
Canva is just THE BEST, and we love that they give FREE pro memberships to teachers! I highly recommend Canva for almost everything a teacher needs to do!
