So we don't want to do everything we do just to prevent cheating because then we're going to be stymying our own opportunity to innovate and try new things. We don't want the fact that students will cheat to limit us from educational innovation.” Stanford study (ed.stanford.edu/news/what-do-ai-chatbots-really-mean-students-and-cheating)  Ken Shelton - “Am I sacrificing long term benefits for short term gain?” Root causes of cheating -  Learners are risk averse because of grading Performance vs. mastery orientation Strategies: 1) Design AI resistant assignments Ask AI to create Ask AI for AI-proof assignments MagicSchool - AI resistant assignment suggester (freemium) - magicschool.ai/tools/ai-resistant-assignment-suggestions 2) Have students use Ai in the assignment Google Arts & Culture - artsandculture.google.com Google Quick, Draw - quickdraw.withgoogle.com Google Say What you See - artsandculture.google.com/experiment/say-what-you-see/jwG3m7wQShZngw?hl=en Google Applied Digital Skills Lesson - applieddigitalskills.withgoogle.com/c/en/coding aiEDU - aiedu.org Code.org - code.org * Ask your tech coach person to help!
