Dear Parents/Guardians,
Your child has completed Lesson 2 of our AI Explorers program, where they learned to use AI as a powerful homework assistant. This lesson focused on responsible AI use for academic success while maintaining integrity.
The following is what we have learned today
- How to ask AI for explanations, not just answers
- Writing effective prompts for different subjects
- Using AI to create personalized study guides
- The importance of verifying AI-provided information
- Clear boundaries between learning assistance and cheating
- Writing detailed questions that promote understanding
- Creating study materials for upcoming tests
- Fact-checking and verification strategies
- Applying AI help across multiple subjects
- Understanding academic integrity in the digital age
We had important discussions about:
GOOD USE: Getting explanations, practice problems, study guides
BAD USE: Copying answers, avoiding learning, submitting AI work as own
OUR RULE: AI helps us understand better, not understand less
Your child agree to our class pledge to use AI responsibly for learning.
Support your child in the following ways
- Ask to see what questions they're asking AI
- Check that they understand the explanations
- Ensure they're not just copying answers
- Celebrate when they ask good learning questions
- "What did you learn from that explanation?"
- "Can you teach me what the AI taught you?"
- "How did you check if that answer was correct?"
- "What would you do differently next time?"
- Homework completed unusually quickly
- Cannot explain their work
- Defensive about showing AI interactions
- Grades improve without understanding
