But hereâs another approach: play a version of <strong>20 Questions</strong> (it doesn’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’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 âperfectâ prompt, but also models the kind of collaborative, back-and-forth interaction that leads to better thinking and clearer outcomes.</p> 400 401 402 403<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Some AI teaching Ideas</h3> 404 405 406 407<ol start="1" style="list-style-type:1" class="wp-block-list"> 408<li>Using AI to Differentiate Learning</li> 409 410 411 412<li>Using AI to develop scenario based learning</li> 413 414 415 416<li>Using AI to develop scripts</li> 417 418 419 420<li>Using AI to develop “lesson specific” chatbots to get interactive feedback</li> 421 422 423 424<li>Using AI to create annotation assignments for active reading.</li> 425 426 427 428<li>Chapter summaries or “The Least You Should Know”</li> 429 430 431 432<li>Using AI to develop pre-mails and outreach emails</li> 433 434 435 436<li>Creating bottomless quiz and survey pools (Retrieval Practice/Enhanced Test Security)</li> 437 438 439 440<li>Using AI to develop enhanced prompts & instructions (Retrieval Practice/Content building)</li> 441 442 443 444<li>

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 âdigital transactive memory,â where we remember <em>how to find information</em> rather than the information itself. For educators, the key takeaway is that technology isnât just changing what students know. Itâs changing how they process, store, and retrieve knowledge, shifting the balance from internal memory toward external tools.</p> 508 509 510 511<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Google Proof Your Content with Blooms Taxonomy</strong></h3> 512 513 514<div class="wp-block-image"> 515<figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="579" height="403" src="https://teachertricks.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bloomsverbs.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2589" srcset="https://teachertricks.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bloomsverbs.jpg 579w, https://teachertricks.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bloomsverbs-300x209.jpg 300w, https://teachertricks.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bloomsverbs-431x300.jpg 431w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px" /></figure> 516</div> 517 518 519<p><strong>Question:</strong> What are the parts of a cell?</p> 520 521 522 523<p><strong>Google Proof Question:</strong> Rank the importance of the parts of the cell from least to most important.</p> 524 525 526 527<p><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-education-report-how-university-students-use-claude" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-education-report-how-university-students-use-claude" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthropic Education Report: How University Students Use Claude</a></p> 528 529 530 531<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 532<p>We saw an inverted pattern of Bloom’s Taxonomy domains exhibited by the AI:</p> 533 534 535 536<ul class="wp-block-list"> 537<li>Claude was primarily completing higher-order cognitive functions, with Creating (39.8%) and Analyzing (30.2%) being the most common operations from Bloomâs Taxonomy.</li> 538 539 540 541<li>Lower-order cognitive tasks were less prevalent: Applying (10.9%), Understanding (10.0%), and Remembering (1.8%).</li> 542</ul> 543</blockquote> 544 545 546 547<p><a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872" data-type="link" data-id="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task</a></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.

However, an important nuance is that when students thought through ideas first and then used AI, their engagement and learning were much stronger.

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 “legitimate educational interests.” 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.
