Jake & Nathan return to where it all started, and provide a much-needed update, we're talking artificial intelligence in education! We start by checking in on the state of artificial intelligence in education, talk a little educational philosophy in an attempt to dispel some of the fear educators have about using AI with students, and provide personally-vetted quality AI resources and strategies that include: ChatGPT, Quizizz, and Canva to name a few (there's more).

We share practical strategies and talk through how to use these resources to offload mundane teacher tasks to AI, open up creative possibilities in lesson planning using AI, and discuss the other praxis-based practical applications of current AI tools and apps that we use on a DAILY basis. Join the conversation by answering our episode Q&A!

Artificial Intelligence Policy & Academic Honesty and Integrity

Throughout this academic year, we will continually address the role and implications of Artificial Intelligence in learning. It's imperative to understand that AI should be viewed as a tool to assist learning, not a substitute for your intellectual and creative endeavors. Rather than having a dedicated section, discussions about academic integrity, specifically regarding responsible use of AI for skill development will be woven throughout our coursework. If you are ever in doubt about your use of these tools in relation to academic integrity, do not hesitate to ask for clarification. Here are some guidelines:

• Learning Aid, Not a Replacement: AI tools are designed to assist and enhance the learning process, not to complete assignments on behalf of the student. They should be used as a supplementary resource to aid understanding and improve skills.

• Original Work: Students must ensure that all work submitted is their original creation. While AI can assist in the brainstorming or editing process, the foundational ideas, arguments, and writing style should be the student's own.

• Collaboration and Guidance: When uncertain about the appropriate use of AI for an assignment, students should seek guidance from their teacher. Open dialogue about how AI tools are being used for learning ensures that they are utilized ethically and effectively.

• Misuse Consequences: Using AI to complete assignments or to produce work that is not genuinely the student's own will be considered academic dishonesty. Consequences will align with the school’s academic integrity policy, which may include a failing grade for the assignment or course, or further disciplinary action.
