Ask a generative AI tool to create a gamified set of questions for a specific standard or topic with point or monetary values that reflect the depth or challenge level of the specific question.Use that set of questions for a Jeopardy game, in a Google Form, or in another platform like Quizizz.If you have it organize the questions, answers, and point values correctly, you can easily turn them into a spreadsheet upload for Quizizz or Blooket.Quizizz - use AI features to generate questions from topics, uploaded documents, articles, etc or use the AI feature to change questions to being a “real-world scenario.”Gimkit - gimkit.comQuizlet Live - quizlet.com/liveKahoot - kahoot.comQuizlet - quizlet.comBlooket - blooket.comSave your generative AI prompts so that you can copy and paste them and continue refining them!

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 gradingPerformance vs. mastery orientation Strategies:1) Design AI resistant assignments Ask AI to create Ask AI for AI-proof assignmentsMagicSchool - 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.comGoogle Quick, Draw - quickdraw.withgoogle.comGoogle Say What you See - artsandculture.google.com/experiment/say-what-you-see/jwG3m7wQShZngw?hl=enGoogle Applied Digital Skills Lesson - applieddigitalskills.withgoogle.com/c/en/codingaiEDU - aiedu.orgCode.org - code.org* Ask your tech coach person to help!Magic School - Magic Student (freemium) - magicschool.ai/magicstudentSchoolAI - freemium - 75 users per day - good for 3rd grade up - schoolai.comUse station rotation model to minimize amount of usersChatGPT 18+, 13+ with parent approval - chatgpt.com AI Detectors - unreliable, disproportionately flag non-native English speakers and neurodivergent learners “GPT detectors are biased against non-native English writers” - Cornell, arxiv.org/abs/2304.02819“AI-Detectors Biased Against Non-Native English Writers” - Stanford, hai.stanford.edu/news/ai-detectors-biased-against-non-native-english-writers Be your own AI Detector: Use Google Docs Version History Or use a Google Chrome Extension like Brisk or Draftbackbriskteaching.com chromewebstore.google.com/detail/draftback/nnajoiemfpldioamchanognpjmocgkbg?hl=en-US Ask yourself, “Does this sound like what this student (or a student) would write?”Look for the words (vocabulary) that you used (or did not use) in class.Have a discussion with the learner!
