Using AI responsibly

When you create a lesson, worksheet, or activity, your prompt is sent to an AI model (we primarily use OpenAI and Google models) which generates content based on your specifications. Think of it as a very knowledgeable teaching assistant that drafts resources for you to review and refine.

• →Be specific — Include year level, topic, and any curriculum standards
• →Add context — Mention student needs or specific angles you want covered
• →Iterate — If the first result isn't quite right, regenerate or edit

AI is a powerful tool, but it has limitations you should be aware of:

• →It can be wrong — AI sometimes generates plausible-sounding but incorrect information. Always check facts, especially for science, history, and current events.
• →It can reflect bias — AI models are trained on internet data and may unintentionally reflect societal biases. Review content for cultural sensitivity and inclusivity.
• →It doesn't know your students — You understand your classroom context; the AI doesn't. Adapt content to suit your learners.

• →Review everything before using with students
• →Don't input student personal information — Keep names, grades, and identifying details out of your prompts
• →Use your professional judgment — AI assists your teaching; it doesn't replace your expertise
• →Report issues — If you see incorrect or inappropriate content, let us know at hello@chalkie.ai
