Your students are most likely already using ChatGPT but are they using it honestly? Do they understand it? Do they understand the alternatives?
To teach students about the risks and opportunities of AI and academic integrity, this research lesson and activity teaches students to compare and debate sources to determine which answer is the real truth. What better way to teach students about AI than for them to practically demonstrate how it works vs other traditional sources?
Included is a lesson that explores:
What is ChatGPT?
How does it work?
Is ChatGPT a tool or a cheat?
How does it differ from other sources?
How do we know the truth?
What are the other ways we could find an answer?
Which are more reliable and why?
Students are then set a group research task where they research different debatable questions from different sources before ranking by reliability. They then summarise by determining which answer is the truth.
Included:
Lesson presentation.
Structured student presentation template sorted by the different sources.
Interactive teacher CPD presentation that explains the student lesson.
Lesson plan.
The content has been planned for 2-3 lessons.
L1 presentation.
L2 Group Research.
L3 Group presentations and debates.
