Cheating has been an ongoing issue in schools - whether students were copying homework assignments in the cafeteria to now copying and pasting from the internet and using AI tools. Both Hadi & Sal mentioned quite a few ways to combat cheating. As educators we can change how homework is assignment. It was suggested that students should do more "in school" compared to out of school. Writing assignments could be made more personalized instead of rote-where answers could merely be found on the internet. AI could also be used as more of a tutor or teaching assistant. They mentioned that in the future AI would be a tool to help complete a task instead of doing it all for you. New detective software can we used (like turnitin.com) to aid educators in recognizing AI generated text.
I have had a little bit of experience with AI using apps/tools such as Alexa, Siri, Chat GPT & Google Maps. However, these have been limited to TechTime classes or personal use to play music or find directions to a restaurant, etc. While these have been extremely helpful, I have yet to really incorporate these in my classroom. Siri and Alexa have often misheard when I have asked for a song request or texting a friend or my spouse hands free in the car. Whether it was user-error or my Buffalo "a" accent, we had a few laughs trying to get AI to work 100% effectively.
