empower students to use AI tools with integrity
Building Relationships and Trust: Fostering a safe, empathetic classroom environment where students feel seen, heard, and valued.
Inspiring Curiosity and Mentoring Students: Sparking genuine passion for a subject and guiding students through personal and academic challenges.
Managing Classroom Dynamics: Navigating the complex social and emotional landscape of a group of students in real-time.
Allowing Failure: Giving students the opportunity to make mistakes and to fail so that they learn from those experiences.
Adapting with Intuition: Sensing when a lesson isn't landing and adjusting your approach instantly based on non-verbal cues.
Teaching Character and Ethics: Modeling and instilling values like resilience, integrity, collaboration, and digital citizenship.
Making Learning Relevant: Connecting curriculum to a student's lived experiences, culture, and personal aspirations in a way an algorithm can’t.
There are four levels of acceptable AI use. Teachers should inform students about the specific level(s) of use that is acceptable for their unit/assignment.
Students must rely on their own knowledge and skills
No use of A.I. is acceptable.
Teacher permission has been given
Students may use A.I. for tasks such as feedback, editing or tutoring
No generative A.I. is allowed
Students must cite their use of A.I.
Teacher permission has been given
Students may use A.I. to complete teacher specific elements
Students are responsible for evaluating all A.I. generated content
Students must cite their use of A.I.
Teacher permission has been given
Students may use A.I. to support their work
A.I. can be used to ‘co-pilot’ student creativity
Students are responsible for evaluating all A.I. generated content
Students must cite their use of A.I.
If you use AI to assist with any assignment, you should provide credit or a citation explaining how the AI was used. Students should be instructed about properly citing any instances where generative AI tools were used.
Or if the AI provides the option to share a link to your conversation, you can include the link in your credits section.
Or you can include a simple sentence explaining how you used AI to assist with the assignment, such as "I used Gemini to brainstorm ideas for this report and to give feedback on how I could improve what I wrote."
This document can be used to serve as a basis for classroom guidelines for student use of AI. These guidelines aim to help students make the most of AI for learning and growth while ensuring academic integrity and personal creativity remain central to the learning process. https://bit.ly/aiclassguide
The first step to help manage cheating with AI is simply to define what it means to cheat with AI. There are many ways that AI can be used during a school project, with some uses being beneficial and some being cheating. This is something that each teacher needs to explore and decide what is appropriate in their class, and perhaps per assignment.
