I would not allow my students to use generative AI for content creation or essay writing. My concern is that they might misuse the tool—relying on it to complete assignments rather than developing their own ideas and writing skills. If students depend too heavily on AI, they may miss out on essential learning experiences, such as organizing their thoughts, practicing critical thinking, and learning how to express themselves effectively. While generative AI can be a powerful resource, I believe it’s important for students to first build a strong foundation in writing and content creation through their own efforts.

I would not use generative AI to replace core thinking tasks in my classroom, especially when students are still developing foundational skills like reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking. For example, I would avoid having AI generate full responses, essays, or answers for students to submit as their own work.
My main concern is that students may use AI as a shortcut instead of engaging with the learning process. At the elementary level, students need to practice skills like finding evidence, making inferences, and explaining their thinking. If they rely on AI to do this for them, it could weaken their ability to think independently and build those essential skills.
I would not use generative AI to replace the problem-solving process in my math classroom. Math is not just about getting the correct answer, it’s about understanding the steps, reasoning, and strategies used to get there. I would avoid using AI to generate complete solutions that students can copy, because that takes away the opportunity for them to struggle productively and build real understanding.
My main concern is that students might use AI to quickly get answers without actually working through the problem. This could prevent them from developing key skills like number sense, perseverance, and explaining their thinking. In math, making mistakes and learning from them is a critical part of the learning process, and AI could remove that experience if used improperly.
I won’t use generative AI to replace core learning tasks like writing, problem-solving, or coding from scratch. My main concern is students using AI as a shortcut—submitting AI-generated work without understanding or claiming it as their own.
Ethical uses I do support include using AI for brainstorming ideas, generating practice examples, getting formative feedback on drafts or code, summarizing complex concepts, debugging with explanations, and improving clarity or grammar after students produce their own work. The focus is on transparency, skill-building, and using AI as a support tool—not a substitute for thinking or learning.
I am worried that my students would use it to do all of their assignments for them and then they would become codependent upon it for all of their assignments.
At this time I would not use it for automatic grading for short response . There is so much that I learn from looking at student responses. Whether it is a misconception, mistake, correct answer with no work, correct answer with work, etc…these let me know how to create next steps for students. I hope that students use it for brainstorming and not to complete the entire project.
