Teaching- From AI to A+: Prepare Your Students for Using ChatGPT and other AI

I did not plan to send a TTT this week. But as we gear up for next week’s session, AI in Academia: An Introduction and Exploration of Generative A.I. in the Classroom, I couldn’t resist sharing a resource to help us prepare for this event. Thanks to Karen Spierling for forwarding this fantastic link!

In a timely post titled From AI to A+: Prepare Your Students for Using ChatGPT and Other AI, Ryan Watkins offers practical guidance on effectively discussing AI with your students. The step-by-step approach he provides on initiating these conversations, fostering ethical boundaries, and putting plans into action is invaluable.

Watkins emphasizes that talking about AI should not be a one-time event but an ongoing dialogue throughout the course to keep students informed and engaged.

While reading the resource, be sure not to miss the hidden gem in suggestion 5—a survey designed to help set baseline expectations for AI use in your classes, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all policy.
