Using AI Responsibly

🧠 How It Works

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.

🎯 Getting Good Results

  • 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 Limitations

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.

✅ Best Practices

  • 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
