AI Quick Tips
Become familiar with the AI tools that students are using.
AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and others are becoming more popular and are being more widely used than ever.
Understanding their strengths and limitations helps us to design better assignments and helps us to prepare for conversations centered around AI in the classroom.
Try testing out different tools with the same prompt! You might find that some tools are easier to use or produce better outputs for certain tasks than others.
