AI tools should not be used to engage in plagiarism or cheating. Students will be honest about when they use AI in assignments and will cite their sources. Students will not turn in work that is created by AI as their own work.
Students will follow the school’s rules and teacher’s instructions on when and how to use AI on an assignment. Students will not use AI in a way that could harm themselves or others.

Citing AI Tools
Plagiarism is using someone's creative work without providing credit them or their resource
AI Can Enhance,
but cannot REPLACE your work
AI Could Enhance a task:
Generate or Brainstorm Ideas
Simplify research
(summarize large amounts of text/data)
Simple writing (not the essay or paper)
Define strategies to problem solve
Make rote tasks more efficient
AI Should NOT REPLACE a task:
Never claim the output is your work
Do not use AI tools as a guide or assistant
Do not use AI tools to skip steps as a time saver while still completing the job
*Formatting order varies from APA (often used in Science and Psychology) or MLA (Literacy)
Pro Tips:
*To indent subsequent lines: click enter at the start of each line (it won’t advance a line), and click the indent option on the toolbar.
*Adding an author to the citation is currently debatable - Kettle Moraine requires you to include yourself and the AI tool.

Considering the unique nature of GenAI, where outputs are generated rather than retrieved, how might you adapt or prioritize the different elements of the CRAAP test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) when assessing the reliability and trustworthiness of AI-generated text or images? (This question encourages a nuanced application of a critical evaluation framework to the specific challenges posed by generative AI.)
Given the challenges of misinformation and the potential for AI to generate or amplify it, and considering the content filters implemented in tools like Adobe Express for image generation, what role do you believe technology developers, educators, and individual users each play in fostering a more informed and discerning consumption of AI-generated content and in effectively fact-checking information in the digital age? (This question explores the shared responsibility across different stakeholders in navigating the complexities of AI-generated information and promoting media literacy.)
