NEISD Aims for Students to Use AI with...
Balance
Reflection
Enhance, Not Replace
Use AI to help, not to skip the learning
Check Your Learning
When using AI, always reflect on the quality of the output you are receiving and how it is impacting your learning.
Human Connection
Transparency
Use AI to Amplify
Prioritize the human element.
Cite Your Support
When using AI, always make sure that you are using it in an approved way and that you disclose your use.
Intention
Best Practices
Prompt with Purpose
Before using AI, always consider how it will help you learn.
Safe, Smart, Secure
When using AI, adopt practices that keep you and your data safe.
The Right Way ✅
Asking the AI to explain why it gave a certain answer to a math problem, then checking the steps and noting the specific rule or formula it applied to ensure you understand the concept.
The Wrong Way🚫
Mindlessly copying and pasting the AI's answer to a math problem without reviewing the steps or questioning if the answer makes sense in the context of the lesson.
Reflection: Don't Just Accept It, Analyze It
The Goal: AI is powerful, but it's not a genius—it's just a prediction machine. We want you to stop and think about the AI's answer, understand why it gave that answer, and judge if it's actually correct or helpful.
The Right Way ✅
Including a citation or statement at the end of a report that clearly says, "AI was used to proofread and correct grammatical errors in this draft."
The Wrong Way🚫
Transparency: Be Honest and Give Credit The Goal: Transparency means being honest about the work you do and the tools you use. If AI helped you, you need to tell your teacher exactly how. It's about academic integrity—making sure the work reflects your own effort and skills.
Claiming a piece of writing as entirely your own when significant portions of the text, ideas, or structure were generated by an AI without acknowledgment.
The Right Way ✅
Double-checking any facts, statistics, or sources provided by an AI through a credible search engine or academic database.
The Wrong Way🚫
Inputting private or confidential information (like your school ID, full address, or a classmate's name) into an AI chatbot.
Best Practices: Using AI Safely and Smartly The Goal: Just like being a good digital citizen means protecting your information and following rules online, using AI responsibly means following the ethical rules of the school and the internet. Your privacy and your data are important!
The Right Way ✅
Using an AI tool to brainstorm five potential thesis statements for a history essay, then selecting and developing one using your own research and writing skills.
The Wrong Way🚫
Balance: AI as a Study Partner, Not a Stand-In
The Goal: We want you to use AI to make your learning better, not just easier. Think of AI like a super-smart tool in your backpack—you know when to use the calculator, and you know when you need to solve the problem yourself to actually learn.
Asking an AI tool to write the entire history essay for you and submitting it with only minor edits.
The Right Way✅
Using an AI tool to quickly summarize a long research article so you and your group can spend more time discussing the implications of the findings during your class presentation.
The Wrong Way 🚫
Using an AI tool to generate all the discussion points for a small-group activity and then sitting silently during the group meeting, avoiding conversation with your peers.
Human Connection: Your Team Needs You, Not a Bot Student Goal: Use AI to enhance collaboration and interaction with your classmates and teachers, not replace it.
The Right Way✅
Prompting an AI to act as a debate partner to practice defending an argument before presenting it in class. The goal is practice, not content generation.
The Wrong Way🚫
Intention: Have a Mission, Not Just a Shortcut
The Goal: Every time you open an AI tool, you should have a clear learning goal in mind. AI is a tool to help you master a subject, not a way to avoid the work. If your intention is only to save time, you're missing the point.
Using an AI to write all the answers for a take-home quiz because you are short on time and the main intention is simply to finish the assignment quickly.
