With the proliferation, obsession, and dichotomous uses of AI in education, it is important to communicate with the families of your students how, when, and why you are using AI in your classroom.
Families trust teachers to provide their children with safe learning environments, and this includes introducing them to reliable technologies that enhance their school experiences. Many families may receive different opinions and hear stories in the media regarding the use of AI in education and society. Some of these could be pro-AI discussions regarding better efficiency for teachers and personalized independent learning opportunities for their children, while others could be those detailing the spread of misinformation, the creation of deep fakes, or concerns about cheating.
