I love this graphic that a TIS Professional Learning Community devised to help students and teachers integrate Artificial Intelligence in our teaching and learning. All tasks, projects, activities, and assignments will be assigned one of the five categories, “FIRE” or “N” that define how much students can use AI. Teachers are challenged to rethink what they ask the students to do. Content generation assignments are a thing of the past. With AI Large Language Models improving every 30 days or so, it is fascinating to see how this will play out.
The IT director and tech team also created a list of approved AI tools that we can use. The key factor was data privacy. The approved list of AI tools (below) is GDPR compliant. The other limited approval tools are used with caution. We ask that users do not upload school and student identifying information, financial data, etc. while using AI tools from that part of the list.
I would like to thank outgoing IT Director Brian Sullivan, DP Coordinator Stefania Iachelli, and the other teachers on the PLC who contributed to this framework. This is an ongoing process and it will be interesting to see where we are at, both as a school and society, a year from now.
