In a survey of over 53,000 students, The Social Institute discovered that nearly half of 9th-12th-grade students are confused by their school’s A.I. rules.
As A.I.-related issues like plagiarism, deepfake bullying, and emotional dependence continue to impact learning, school and district administrators are left with the challenge of setting clear expectations for their communities.
Without clarity for navigating A.I., how can students meet guidelines, educators enforce policies, and families understand what is expected of their student(s)?
Join The Social Institute alongside Lynn Girolamo, Digital Coach at Greece Central School District, and Dan Humphrey, Director of Information Technology at St. Edward High School, to discover easy-to-implement strategies for creating and communicating clear A.I. expectations. In this webinar, we explore how K-12 schools and districts effectively set guidelines for A.I. use and share them with students, educators, and families.
Key Takeaways for Schools:
- Clear communication strategies: Discover simple tips for effectively communicating A.I. guidelines, even across large districts
- Level-up your response to A.I. challenges: Explore strategies for addressing evolving challenges involving A.I. in your community
- Align your community: Understand clear language and strategies to get educators, students, and families on the same page.
