I think there’s a lot of ways that AI can be beneficial in the classroom. I especially believe we can’t avoid it or ignore it. Educators can encourage students to use AI in productive and meaningful ways. For example, for a recent writing project I did with students, we talked as a group about the ways in which AI could be helpful for this particular project, and we also talked about what would be considered plagiarism for this particular project if AI was not used appropriately. 

We have used AI photo generators as team builidng activities in advisory. We also use Padlet a lot, which also has AI features.
