Comment from the audience - model disclosure of AI including saying none used. If you are hesitant to disclose use, that bit of friction should prompt a reflection on why. Good conversation opportunities with that as well.

@karencosta.bsky.social third tip is related to Friction. The struggle that helps us learn. AI is the anti to this. Karen trusts her students but does not expect purity.
Karen is contemplating requiring Google Doc history next semester to add just enough friction.

@karencosta.bsky.social asks us to check on our own awesomely named consume:create:chill ratio to make sure those things stay in balance.

@karencosta.bsky.social also reminds us to be intentional of noticing the good student work too. The ones genuinely engaging in the course. Not just the ones that frustrate.

@karencosta.bsky.social approach to handling AI:
1. organize your AI strategy - keep key resources in one place for easy access (Karen uses a Notion page) in order to respond to AI issues with students. This includes outreach language, and language to respond to student submissions.

We are reading The Norton Guide to Equity-Minded Teaching as a staff this semester and I particularly enjoy the succinctness of this quote in relation to promoting academic integrity.
"Policing honesty just doesn't work"
Also this book is very good so far. I definitely recommend the 1st 47 pages

Should I ask a bunch of pre-service teachers this question during my AI presentation?
“If you can search, or have an intelligent agent find, anything, why learn anything? What is truly worth learning?”
