A Few More AI Thoughts (for now)
What does AI practically look like in school?
If you caught my last piece about the rise of wide-use powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms (occasioned by the release of ChatGPT), you probably gathered that I think that the technology suggests that we are quickly heading towards significant changes in the ways that we access and use digital information. This is going to have all sorts of impacts on all sorts of areas of our lives and our work, but my main focus is on schools and learning because that’s what I do. This piece is a follow-up, spotlighting a few additional implications and uses that have presented themselves as I have made space for ChatGPT over the past few weeks of my working life as an educator.
Usage guidelines for students
ChatGPT and AIs of comparable sophistication are quickly going to become widely used resources by students. I figured I should start to get a working policy in place for how students can use AI in my classes. I initially drafted something pointed specifically at AP Biology students. This then got shared with various other parties in our school, and broadened to point toward high school students more broadly. A copy of the resulting draft AI usage policy can be found here.
