Digital Citizenship & Ethics

It’s important to have discussions with your students about academic honesty when using AI. This helps to ensure that students understand that while AI can be helpful for brainstorming, clarifying ideas, or improving their work, AI should not be used to actually do the work for them. From the beginning, having students understand that AI as a tool to support their learning rather than replacing their own thinking, students learn to use it responsibly and ethically. This will let students take ownership of their work and think more critically, while using AI to support them. Additionally, I think it is important to have an internet safety discussion with students to ensure they know how to protect their privacy while using AI tools.

One strategy that I will continue to use in the classroom is to set expectations with students. Having open and honest conversations about AI tools will let students know what is expected of them and what is not expected of them while using these tools.
