And The Answer Is: AI Literacy! - Concrete Ideas To Address The AI Cheating Concerns

When many people hear the words “students using AI”, their next thought is “cheating”. Come take a look at the issues behind secondary students using AI unethically, and walk away with strategies you can use tomorrow to address this in a positive and collaborative way. Help your staff move from frustration with students to conversation with students. The session’s format will have participant thoughts facilitated through Pear Deck. It begins with a whole group presentation and discussion of the underlying issues behind secondary students using AI unethically. For each issue provided, an accompanying solution will be discussed that is in line with the NCDPI AI Guidelines. Participants will then choose a particular issue and solution to explore individually. Ideas will include, but not be limited to: detecting AI writing without using unreliable AI detectors, adjusting assigned activities to be AI-resistant in a variety of ways, resources to educate stakeholders on AI literacy, and adjusting activities to ethically incorporate student-facing AI, utilizing the NCDPI AI “Zero to Infinity” scale. The end of the session will be dedicated to sharing their new learning first with those seated near them, and then with the whole group. Participants will receive a digital one-pager with all “how to” instructions from the session, their own editable copy of the session slides to organize in their Google Drive, and freebies like stickers and candy.This session develops ISTE Educator Competencies of Designers and Citizens as they design authentic learning activities that also model safe, ethical, and legal practices. This session also aligns to the AI Implementation Roadmap for NC, Step 2: Develop Your Staff.
