Educators can combat cheating by focusing less on traditional “copy-and-paste” assignments and more on creative, personalized, and process-based tasks. For example, as a health teacher I might require students to show reflections, about the content and how it pertains to their lives, which makes it harder to rely solely on AI. I can also ask them to compare the content to current events or come up with a personal goal on how they want to make changes to their lives or the world around the. This would even make it ok for students to use AI as a tool for brainstorming, feedback, or skill practice while still holding them accountable for original thought.
Some common tools with AI built in include Grammarly for writing suggestions, Snapchat with AI photo generation, and even Google that now generates AI summaries. My experience with these tools has been positive overall. They save time, catch mistakes, and help spark ideas when I’m stuck. At the same time, I’ve noticed they work best when I treat them as assistants rather than the final product. I still need to check, edit, and make the work sound like my own.
