We just wrapped up our fifth (and largest!) #GenAIforSchools call this year with @AlexMBraden as co-host, and it sparked a fantastic discussion with various ideas and feedback on using AI in schools. Our group photo was taken at the end of the call after some of our members had to go; sorry if you're not pictured! Here are some key insights from today's conversation: 🧑‍🏫 Ethics and IB Assessments 🧑‍🏫 @watnunu and @BernalGines expressed curiosity about AI in IB assessments and the best way forward. Then, @sjtylr emphasized the need for guidance on the appropriate use of AI in educational settings, specifically within the context of IB assessments. He mentioned that while the IB has discussed how AI should be cited, there's a significant gap between where the assignment begins and where the submission and citation process ends. 👩‍🎓 Student Engagement 👩‍🎓 @NickEdTech discussed the initiatives at his school, Yokohama International, to integrate AI responsibly. He emphasized clear communication and setting proper expectations through parental consent forms. @MrAlexEdTech and @edTechEvans stressed the necessity for more integration ideas and a focus on practical application during advisory or digital citizenship lessons. @kevincrouch mentioned that while AI tools can help ideate, the true value comes from students learning to engage their own thought processes first. @ESLWeb pointed out that while AI can assist in learning, students must ensure they understand the material, especially for final exams or professional settings where AI tools may not be available. Written material is helpful in certain situations, and his school is bringing it back in key places. @B_Sheridan shared his thoughts on the need for ongoing dialogues and guidance on AI in schools, stressing the importance of distinguishing between teacher and student use to integrate AI into educational practices better. 🤔 Comparisons and Challenges 🤔 The ongoing revision of AI guidelines to address rapid technological advancements was a focal point, highlighting the need for ethical use and critical thinking. @Aishakrist advocated for flexible guidelines over rigid policies to accommodate technological progress. She stressed the importance of teaching ethical AI use and facilitating direct student interactions with AI tools, critiquing the limited access provided by some "walled garden" platforms. 👋 Conclusion 👋 Thank you to everyone who participated in today's discussion. Our next and final call of the year is on June 13th at 9:00am Shanghai time, focusing on the practical aspects of AI guidance: who does what, and how do we teach our students about AI?
