Description
K-12 education, but it has also raised ethical concerns, particularly in the use of AI that generates a narrative. The need to prepare incoming college students for the ethical use of AI in the classroom starts in K-12 schools. Most current digital citizenship curriculums do not adequately cover the complexities of these new tools, leaving students unprepared for the rigorous ethical standards of colleges and universities. During the 23-24 school year, Columbia Public Schools is using the National Office of Educational Technology’s human-centered approach to teaching students and teachers how to ethically use AI in the classroom. The program will include updated handbook information, a plan for student and teacher learning, and a teacher exploratory group to explore inevitable technological advances. The program will also be adapted for other Missouri school districts as a component of the work of the Missouri Writing Project leadership in the Show-Me Literacies Collaborative. The components of this program and successes and opportunities for growth will be shared. By utilizing the research and guidance of the National Office of Educational Technology in Missouri K-12 schools, we hope to ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly by students as they enter higher education. The continuum of learning is essential.
