         <description><![CDATA[<p>Teachers and students are struggling with tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity because students must NOT log in due to data privacy issues. However, Perplexity prompts you to log in -- many students just click it. Also, you can't use the full features of ChatGPT, like "voice mode", without being logged in.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>From students in English class: (1) Seems like there is a very thin boundary between between 1, 2 and infinity -- if someone has a long chat with AI, there is not way to document that whole thing (2) The colors are not great -- would like to see more neutral colors (3) I have trouble imagining why a teacher would use "AI Empowered" on an assignment -- they felt like this level was removing the student from the assignment (4) You can't control how students are going to use AI -- students won't follow the boundaries of each level even if teachers try to set them (5) If AI brainstorms for you, then you are not thinking or using your own brain (6) The AI Empowered level has very positive language, but I don't see how it is positive for a learner (7) AI is not a good thing to use in an English class -- should be "O" all the time because it is focused on creativity and individual voice (8) Teachers should ask how students use AI on an assignment and provide feedback about how students are using it (9) The reality: most HS students are operating on a "1"-- if we make this more transparent, it will reduce anxiety in students</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The timing of this AI Pilot has not been great for me, since I teach 3 sections of juniors in honors precalc and there are MANY absences this week and next due to AP exams.  As it is, I am behind with my curriculum and do not want to give up precious class time. So, I have not been able to roll out the AI pilot according to the suggested timeline. Cameron is going to assist me later this week to try a smaller pilot with the students who are in class.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>FEEDBACK from students on &quot;Power Outage&quot; AI assignment -- Spanish</title>
         <author>cbrindise3</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/edgemont/ywfo65jqqb21zoal/wish/3442205920</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>"In general, I do not tend to use AI on assignments, so using it here made it feel quite underwhelming as an assignment, and I think I would’ve learned more about both the power outage and gotten more spanish practice if I had done it myself."</p><p><br/></p><p>"I found this assignment to be a good experience because experimenting with AI is always fun. While sometimes I find new technologies to be confusing, I like to play around with them in a non-stressful environment like this. I just used Chat GPT to create information for me, and I went off of that. My work and the assignment were very quick and easy. I asked AI to write an article, create questions, and clarify things for me. The assignment was very relaxing and super easy to complete. I would like to do more work like this in the future because sometimes smaller, individual assignments are a nice change of pace.&nbsp;¨</p><p><br/></p><p>"Using AI for this assignment made collecting information quick and easy but also mindless. By not actively searching and sifting through articles, I felt that I didn’t really do that much besides tell AI what I needed. It did not feel like learning. When I asked Chat GPT to create an article in 500-550 words it did. When prompted, it also churned out key vocabulary words, sample questions, and open-ended questions. The article itself was pretty thorough and gave a good description on what happened, including the causes of the power outage, and how people were affected. The 80-20 rule seems like too much AI and not enough of the person completing the work. I think a person should do their research themselves and if they can’t find something or don’t understand something, then they should go to AI. AI did a thorough job creating the components of this assignment, but I could have done just as good a job, even if it meant spending more time on it. The appeal to AI is that it is a huge time saver but constantly using AI might decrease someone’s attention span for an assignment. When you use AI, you could lose natural creativity and not develop the same research skills as without it. AI is not going to go away. I think it is important to use AI responsibly so that you are benefiting, but not cheating yourself out of your own thinking!"</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>
