"K-12 schools need to be aware that tools like ChatGPT are still under active development. There may be biases in the answers provided which can be misleading to pupils at best, offensive at most. There's also no guarantee that these tools will always be available when pupils need them, or that they will remain free of charge. I encourage teachers to have a backup plan when relying on AI tools and to be ready to discuss the concerns pupils may have directly with them."

"The emergence of ChatGPT has completely changed the educational landscape. No longer will simple reading and writing activities, such as regurgitating basic facts into a formulaic essay, pass as rigorous instruction. Now, perhaps more than ever, inquiry-based instructional tools are worth their weight in gold."

“ChatGPT has been most helpful in teaching voice in writing. We used it to write paragraphs and essays using prompts the students have already written about and then do writing workshops examining voice, diction, and syntax among the AI and student-written essays. It has been helpful for students to see how the author's voice and style are crucial to conveying meaning in writing. We also then compare some essays to the College Board rubrics, which helps students see the elements they need to focus on in their papers more clearly.”
