Best Practices for Using AI Check for Bias and Accuracy: AI might occasionally produce biased or incorrect content. Always double - check before sharing with students. The 80 - 20 Approach: Use AI for initial work, but make sure to add your final touch, review for bias and accuracy, and contextualize appropriately for the last 20%. Know the Limits: AI's knowledge stops on its last training date, so recent topics may not be up to date. Protect Privacy: Don't include personal student details like names or addresses.
