Whether we see generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT as an intractable menace or an instrument of innovation, teachers, particularly those of us that teach writing, find ourselves at a crossroads as artificial intelligence developments and their use become increasingly inevitable. While some school districts, fearing an existential threat, have banned the use of AI writing tools altogether, these tools can be used as vehicles to improve learning and help students develop their writing skills. Students must be explicitly taught proper and appropriate use of new technology, and we as teachers ought to rethink the purpose and delivery methods of our instruction and assessment techniques. This playlist explores strategies to embrace the responsible use of AI in school by students and teachers, as well as activities to help teachers design assignments that prevent students from abusing Generative AI writing tools, while asking students to exercise higher order thinking in writing.
