I believe that having conversations about what the technology is intended for and the ethics around using this is important to have with our students. I know that will not solve future cases of misuse from our students, but having these conversations are important just as having conversations about behavior and cheating are important to have with students. I believe a side benefit of first learning about AI and becoming competent in its use and second, discussing this with students is that they will be aware that you know about and are knowledgable of this tech. I have found that when students feel like you are knowledgable of the technology used in your classroom they are less likely to feel as though they can use it in a dishonest way and get away with it.
Pick one or more of the 11 strategies provided by Turnitin and explain how you might use it in your classroom.
I think that the best strategies that I have seen involving AI and its effect on education is the rethinking of what we are expecting from our students for learning outcomes. Focusing on process, asking students to present or debate a topic, and knowing your students' skill sets well are by far the most foolproof ways to ensure that students are doing the work and not relying on AI to do it for them. I am uncomfortable relying on tools to detect AI-written content at a reliable enough level. Changing the evidence of learning makes that unnecessary. Another way that I believe we can teach more about AI and what it can do for students is to model how we might use it in class as an idea generator or a tutor that may help us along if we get stuck but that we don't rely upon to get the answers from.
