Best Practices
Bias/Accuracy
AI has been trained on documents that we now know have bias. Be aware of that in what AI creates.
80-20 Approach
Use 80% of what AI provides but adjust the remaining 20% to meet your needs/style.
Teacher Judgment
Always check what AI produces and use your best judgment in sharing it.
Protect Privacy
Do not enter any PII into generative AI and be aware of data privacy policies of AI platforms.
Know the limits of AI
AI is not magic. It struggles with math and can even “hallucinate.”
What makes a good prompt?
Act as a 5th-grade science teacher who is planning a lesson on ecosystems for students with varied reading levels. Make it student-friendly by incorporating a hands-on activity. Generate a lesson hook and a quick board.
