Artificial intelligence challenge

Complete the 3-in-3 challenge

Complete three “AI must dos” within the first three months of the 2024 school year. 

1. Determine then clearly communicate AI tools/apps do’s and don’ts

When it comes to AI tools and apps:

  • What AI tools/apps are district-approved for teachers? Students over 13? Under 13?
  • If a teacher or staff member wants to create an account for a free tool not offered by the district, should they use their work email to do so?
  • If an already-approved tool adds an AI feature, does the district permit or restrict use? How can teachers inquire about getting a tool/app approved?
  • How will this information be communicated to teachers, students, families, and community members?

2. Train teachers and staff about pitfalls to avoid

  • What information should never be entered into AI apps? (Think: FERPA)
  • Can AI output always be trusted? What should teachers look for when evaluating AI-generated content?
  • What responsibility do we have for oversight when using AI?

3. Adopt a system to help teachers communicate AI use

  • How will students know when they may or may not use AI on an assignment? What happens if they do?
  • How does this align with your existing academic integrity policy?
  • Check out Agua Fria’s Stoplight System.
