257not know. If you have questions, ask them. If you have concerns, voice them. We often don&#8217;t know what we don&#8217;t know, so let&#8217;s start with the least you should know about AI detection. </p>

270<li><strong>Pre-trained</strong>: Before you even start using it, the model has already been trained on a huge dataset of text from books, websites, and other sources to understand a wide variety of languages.</li>

272
273
274<li><strong>Transformer</strong>: This is the type of model architecture used. It&#8217;s particularly good at understanding the context of language, meaning it can understand how words in a sentence relate to each other.</li>

301<p>AI uses corpus based data and context to predict which words it should use</p>
302
303
304
305<ol class="wp-block-list">
306<li><strong>Frequency Analysis</strong>: During training, the model analyzes how often words and phrases appear in context with each other. This frequency information helps the model learn the likelihood of a specific word following another in a sentence.</li>
307
308
309
310<li><strong>Probabilistic Predictions</strong>: Based on this frequency analysis, the model builds a probabilistic understanding of language. For instance, in the phrase &#8220;peanut butter and,&#8221; the word &#8220;jelly&#8221; might appear more frequently than &#8220;cheese&#8221; in the training data, so the model will learn that &#8220;jelly&#8221; is a more likely prediction.</li>
311
312
313
314<li><strong>Contextual Relevance</strong>: Beyond mere frequency, modern AI models like transformers also consider the broader context of words in a sentence or paragraph, which enhances their ability to make relevant and coherent predictions. This means that the model doesn&#8217;t just rely on the immediate previous word but evaluates the entire context to make a more informed prediction.</li>

391<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Play 20 Questions</h2>
392
393
394
395<p><strong>Sample Prompt:</strong> I am a teacher, I have an idea for my class and I would like your help. But, before we get started, I would like you to ask me 10 questions, one at a time learning from my answers, so that you know all you need to know about what I am thinking before you offer advice or make resources for me. Can we do that?</p>
396
397
398
399<p>You can learn to <strong>Craft</strong> a great prompt by clearly defining your <strong>Call to action, Role, Audience, Format, and Technical Requirements</strong> — and that’s a powerful strategy. But here’s another approach: play a version of <strong>20 Questions</strong> (it doesn&#8217;t have to be 20) with your AI. Instead of trying to be the perfect prompter from the start, invite the AI to ask <em>you</em> questions, one at a time, until it fully understands what you&#8217;re trying to do and who you are. The more context the AI gathers, the better and more personalized its responses will be. This technique not only reduces the pressure of writing the “perfect” prompt, but also models the kind of collaborative, back-and-forth interaction that leads to better thinking and clearer outcomes.</p>

Related to this is the idea of Transactive Memory, which explains that people naturally rely on external sources (like other people, or now the internet) to store information. In the digital age, this becomes “digital transactive memory,” where we remember <em>how to find information</em> rather than the information itself. For educators, the key takeaway is that technology isn’t just changing what students know. It’s changing how they process, store, and retrieve knowledge, shifting the balance from internal memory toward external tools.</p>

548
549
550
551<p>A recent MIT Media Lab study looked at how students write essays using ChatGPT, Google, or no tools at all, and found that the more support students used, the less their brains were actively engaged during the task. Students who relied heavily on ChatGPT also had more difficulty remembering what they wrote and felt less ownership over their work. However, an important nuance is that when students thought through ideas first and then used AI, their engagement and learning were much stronger. The takeaway for educators isn’t that AI is harmful, but that <strong>how and when students use it matters</strong>: if AI replaces thinking, learning suffers; if it follows thinking, it can actually support deeper understanding.</p>

571<p><strong>What is FERPA?</strong><br />
571The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. It applies to all schools that receive funds from the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA grants specific rights to parents and students regarding access to education records, the right to seek amendment of those records, and control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII).</p>
572
573
574
575<ol class="wp-block-list">
576<li><strong>Consent Requirements:</strong> Before using any AI tool that requires student data, check if parental or student consent is needed. For any technology that may involve external parties handling student data, written consent to share data is generally required unless the information has been de-identified.</li>
577
578
579
580<li><strong>Legitimate Educational Interest:</strong> If you are using AI tools within the school environment, such as learning management systems that integrate AI for personalizing learning, ensure that these uses fall within the scope of &#8220;legitimate educational interests.&#8221; This typically includes activities that are directly related to the academic and administrative functions of the school.</li>
581
582
583
584<li><strong>De-identification of Data:</strong> If AI tools require data but not specifically identifiable information, consider using de-identified data to maintain compliance with FERPA. This process involves removing any personal identifiers, ensuring the data cannot be used to trace back to any individual student.</li>
585
586
587
588<li><strong>Data Security:</strong> Ensure that any AI application used in the classroom adheres to strict data security standards to prevent unauthorized access to student information. This includes reviewing and understanding the security measures the AI provider has in place.</li>
589
590
591
592<li><strong>Vendor Compliance:</strong> When using third-party AI tools, ensure that the vendor is compliant with FERPA regulations. This typically involves having a formal agreement that the vendor will protect the student data and will not use it for unauthorized purposes.</li>

749<p>Just-in-Time Teaching&nbsp;(JiTT) is a strategy that promotes the use of class time for more active learning. Originally developed by Gregor Novak and colleagues, JiTT relies on a feedback loop between online learning materials and the classroom (Novak et al., 1999).&nbsp;Teachers use online assessment tools to ask students to perform&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://jittdl.physics.iupui.edu/jitt/jitturls.html" target="_blank">Warm-ups, Puzzles, and Goodfors</a>&nbsp; The students answers to the assignments are delivered to the instructor a few hours before class starts. The teacher looks over student responses to see where students are and adapts the lesson accordingly. Teachers can also now use the&nbsp; responses as scaffolding on which to&nbsp;build learning.</p>

837<p>This is just an example of AI assisted 21st century content development. Did you know you could use tools like word, zoom, or Microsoft teams to transcribe everything you say? Of course, once you have a transcription, you can give that to AI and let it edit it to create content. Once that content is created and edited, you can give it to NotebookLM to make your own educational podcasts, or better yet, you can teach your students to live and learn with these tools. </p>

1089<p>Have you considered Screencasting?&nbsp;<strong>Screencasting</strong>&nbsp;is a Teacher Trick that should be in&nbsp;every teacher’s toolkit. Simply put, screencasting is recording your computer screen while recording your voice to make a video that can be shared with others. You can make instructional videos, feedback videos, showcase videos, interactive videos and more. While there are many tools that teachers can buy for screencasting, there are now some really great ones that are free and play right in the browser. Below, I have put a few options for you. Which tool you pick really depends on what your plans are for using the tool. Are you using it yourself to make and host videos? Did you want students to use the tool? </p>

1337<p><strong>Critical Thinking</strong> &#8211; Aitana López is an innovative virtual influencer from Spain, created by The Clueless agency and designed by Rubén Cruz. She&#8217;s characterized by her distinctive pink hair and has quickly become a popular figure on social media, amassing a significant following on platforms like Instagram, but she isn&#8217;t real. That doesn&#8217;t stop brands from paying her up to $1000 a post for product placement. </p>

1375<p>There are numerous family names that have fascinating origins tied to people’s historic occupations and professions. For instance, surnames like Fisher, Miller, Carpenter, Baker, Taylor, and Cooper, to name a few, offer intriguing glimpses into the lives and trades of our ancestors. <a href="https://teachertricks.org/?p=2667" data-type="link" data-id="https://teachertricks.org/?p=2667">Let’s delve into the world of Coopers for a moment</a>. Coopers were skilled craftsmen who displayed mastery in crafting and repairing wooden buckets, barrels, and casks, essential containers for storing and transporting various goods. However, if you look around today, you’re unlikely to encounter many individuals bearing the name Cooper who still practice the trade.</p>
