Segment 1:
Narrative: Teachers questioning student work.
So let’s take a break while we go ask ChatGPT to write this episode for us, so that when we come back we can talk about how to deal with these issues in a positive and proactive way.
Segment 2:
- Avoid The “Reactive” Approach
- Don’t find yourself halfway through the year and angry because you can tell that a significant percentage of your students just used a chat bot to write their responses.
- Set Clear Expectations (Be Proactive):
- Syllabus Statement
- Could align with a school policy if that is already established
- Introductory days AI discussion
- Ask students to share what they think about AI. Let them discuss, consider, and reflect.
- Generate class rules together, almost like norms
- Give them examples from real life where AI might be allowed, and then not allowed.
- In college, they would likely see similar rules, where using AI to write for you is likely considered academic dishonesty and you would get expelled.
- In life, you might use AI to begin the process of writing a best mans speech you need to give.
- In a career, you might use it to plan out some talking points for an upcoming meeting or make an email sound more professional.
- Assignment/Project Expectations
- Clearly state acceptable/unacceptable uses of AI
- Have some pre-written templates for different types of assignments and what types of AI-use might be acceptable. This way you can easily copy and paste them into assignment descriptions as needed.
- Promote Positive Communication
- Let students know that you aren’t out to “Catch Them”
- Expose them to current AI literature
- 8 Things Students Should know about AI by Ben Klieger
- Best Practices
