Quick landscape scan: ▶ Impact Research revealed this month that teachers, students, and parents say their schools have no AI policy and not enough support and training. ▶ Detection software isn’t foolproof - false positives happen all the time, and in this case, the GPTZero website clearly states, “results should not be used to directly punish students.” ▶ Students (and parents) are confused about what tools are allowed - in this instance, the students used Grammarly. The questions to be asking in your school district: ▶ How do we balance academic integrity with the benefits of AI in learning? Where is the line? ▶ Are we punishing students for using tools we haven’t properly regulated? ▶ What’s the right way to implement AI policies in schools? Is anyone doing it WELL yet? 👉 My recommendations ▶ Develop clear AI use policies and OVERcommunicate them to staff, students, and parents. ▶ Educate students AND teachers on ethical AI use. Spell it out. ▶ If you use detection software, consider using it for discussion, not punishment ▶ It’s time to explore new assessment methods for the AI age What would you add?
