Artificial intelligence can help students learn, explore ideas, and improve projects, but it should be used with judgment. Responsible use starts with understanding what the tool can do, where it can fail, and how to keep your own thinking visible.
Use AI as support, not replacement
Ask AI tools to explain concepts, compare options, generate practice questions, or help you organize a draft. Keep the final decisions, examples, and conclusions connected to your own understanding.
Check important information
AI systems can make mistakes. Verify facts, dates, sources, code, and any recommendation that affects a project, class assignment, or public work.
Make your process visible
When appropriate, note how you used AI: brainstorming, outlining, proofreading, or testing ideas. This helps teachers, mentors, and collaborators understand your process.
Protect personal information
Avoid pasting private data, passwords, identification numbers, or sensitive information into AI tools. Use examples that are safe to share.
Build evidence of learning
Use AI to support practice, but keep project notes, drafts, screenshots, reflections, and final work that show what you learned and how you improved.
