For me, this video emphasized the need to engage in more conversations about the purposes of education- among ourselves as educators, with parents, and definitely with students.  Through those conversations, we can better understand- or even determine- what is ethical, what is cheating, and what is useful.   Many students don’t understand the process is usually more important than the product.  There are lots of quick and easy ways to get the product, but most of those shortcuts don’t help us actually learn anything.  Being mindful of what we are actually grading comes into play, and I think completing assignments in class is crucial to cutting down on cheating.  

I’m not even sure what I’ve used that includes AI.  Some people mentioned Siri and Maps, and I use those.  I use Duo Lingo, and I know that uses AI.  Beyond that, I’ve just played around with a few things at Tech Tuesday sessions.  The Padlet and Adobe Firefly picture-generating tools were especially interesting to me.
