Free: a classroom policy on generative AI



So, a conversation popped up in my WhatsApp group about creating a policy on academic integrity concerning generative AI. Actually, I'd been thinking about drumming something up ever since ChatGPT made its way into my own classroom (snarl). And, since I was reminded of this task, I took one educator's advice and looked at Harvard's Honor Code, gave Bard AI my and Harvard's input and let it do its thing.

If you're interested, you're free to use this one, and tweak it according to your needs.

Classroom AI Policy

Happy Prepping!

    Before you get into any discussion about education how about I make something clear. Do not use the word teacher when what you are is an educator. You are not the only person to bring your lesson plan to life. There are a lot of staff members that you depend on to make your classroom work. This mean all of the staff and the instructor are all educators. No one person makes a classroom happen.

      I stand corrected. I edited all my posts to read "educator". Thank you for the suggestion, and I appreciate ALL who help and teach our students.

    I am a retired Data Communication Specialist from Los Angeles Community College. I am in Local 1521A the clerical/Technical (Staff). I did switches, routers, firewalls and cabling. I only have a question or 2 about AI. Who should be trying to detect the uses of AI? How would it be reported? This can be very hard to deal with from a network point of view. I have to thing about this and try to get back to everyone.

    In my experience it's been up to the classroom educator to try to detect and report it to admin and/or parents/guardians - this has been on the K-12 level. I really don't know how it's handled in the post-secondary arena, though I do understand that many institutions now have AI-detecting software, a la Turnitin.

Teaching ChatGPT to High School Students: A Practical Guide for Teachers

  Beginner's Guide to Teaching High School Students  How to Use ChatGPT Responsibly and Ethically Co-authored by Shondale Pagano and Google Bard October 6, 2023 Overview      Remember when there was a lot of bru-haha when calculators and graphing calculators came on the scene? Now, they are seen in most, if not all mathematics classes, used as a way to either check answers, or quickly arrive at answers. The key to using them is to UNDERSTAND THE EQUATION, or the type of input needed in order to derive the correct answer. This is what ChatGPT is, but on steroids. ChatGPT is an incredible Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot that can be used for a variety of purposes, including generating text, translating languages, writing different kinds of creative content, and now creating images from text. However, due to the temptation of easily getting homework done (especially essays and reports), it is important for students to learn how to use ChatGPT responsibly and et...

From Classroom Farewell to University Adventures: Embracing a New Chapter

Image
  (image generated via Night Cafe ai)      My last few posts consisted of me declaring that I was leaving/gone from the classroom for good. But then unpaid bills started piling up. Since that time I got a position as a part time instructor at a local university. Same same but different. So now some of my posts will be about my part-time instructor journey, now teaching mostly freshmen some university survival tips through experiential case studies, and teaching research and debate skills. They also learn to write papers and "try" not to use ai for help. I have to keep reminding myself that they are just a couple of months away from being high school kids, but I want to treat them like adults. This means that I still get excuses when work is not turned in on time, or when they decide to skip class. I just have to remind them of school policies, and that (sometimes) shuts them down, and usually ends with them whining under their breath. Then I have to remind them that ...
