REFLECTION: What types of discussions do you feel are necessary to have with students regarding this new technology?
As mentioned in my previous responses, I believe that it is very important to have conversations with students about how to most appropriately use this technology. As each article stated, AI isn't going anywhere so we need to figure out how we are going to use it as a helpful tool instead of something that's hurtful for students and our classrooms. At the elementary level, I believe that using this tool for brainstorming or as another way to gain information could be very helpful.
EXPLAIN: Pick one or more of the 11 strategies provided by Turnitin and explain how you might use it in your classroom.
There were many strategies provided by Turnitin that I feel are beneficial and could be used in my classroom.
2- Decide on what is acceptable and what isn't for your assignments. I believe that this is very important and the main reason that I have not introduced this technology into my classroom as of yet. I think it's important to talk to my teammates and also decide for myself how I would want to roll out ChatGPT in my classroom.
3- Build strong relationships with your students. I believe this is the key to success in many areas, but I especially do feel that if you have strong relationships with students, they will want and crave the connection that allows teachers to stay "relevant" even with ChatGPT.
7- Adjust prompts to incorporate personal stories, authentic situations, and/or sources and citations. I believe that this is important because this still requires the student to be a thinker and incorporate their own experiences into their writing.
9- Assess the process, not only the product, and collect outlines and drafts. This is something that I already incorporate into my room because as the article mentions, the process can be just as important if not more important than the product. That being said, this could also be a way to make sure that students are doing their own thinking, not just regurgitating an AI-generated text.
