Pedagogy Over Technology

• Equity: Not all students have equal access to devices, internet, or AI literacy.

• Bias: AI tools may reflect biases in training data—it's important to teach students to recognize and challenge this.

• Privacy: Be aware of how student data is used and stored by AI platforms.

• Don’t chase every new AI feature—ask: “Does this support learning?” • Use AI to enhance pedagogy, not replace it.

AI is a tool, and like any other tool, students should be taught how to use it. This includes:

• Prompt Writing - Teach students to craft clear, purposeful prompts.

• Critical Engagement - Encourage students to challenge, evaluate, and debate AI-generated content.

• Tutoring & Resource Discovery - AI can act as a personalized tutor or recommend relevant materials.

• Workforce Preparation - Industry expects AI fluency; assessment should reflect this.

• Expectations, Pitfalls, and Literacy - Set clear boundaries and expectations for ethical AI use.

• Ask GenAI to help design assignments that foster creativity and reduce cheating.

• Start small—pilot one AI-enhanced activity.

• Prepare students, don’t police them.

• Bridge theory and practice—use AI to simulate real-world tasks.

• Record online sessions; AI can help track participation.

• Know AI’s limits: it lacks emotional nuance and abstract reasoning. In other words, it can mimic human sense, but not human sensibility.

• Use AI both for student-facing tasks (tutoring, feedback) and teacher-facing tasks (grading, planning).

• AI can provide answers, but students must learn to ask better questions.
• Surface-level questions will return surface-level answers.
• Understanding how bias impacts answers.
• Evaluating when and how changing or improving the prompt can return different results.
• Focus on metacognition, reasoning, and reflection.
• Metacognition: Planning, monitoring, and adjusting learning based on thought processes.
• Reasoning: Thinking logically based on facts and evidence (Remember, some evidence is comparative and emotional).
• Reflection: Examining thoughts, feelings, and experiences to gain deeper understanding.
