Hi everyone! I've needed to address my use of AI as a Mentor and the expectations for Civil Discourse in my classes. I created a Google Slide deck to walk through these matters and I thought I would share it here with you all - feel free to copy and use it for your own classes if you would like - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wvduKtQTb2CctjiyhiIR4t8MB6q2_jWd3ye6T5jRJyg/edit?slide=id.g3f889955267_0_566#slide=id.g3f889955267_0_566

Hi everyone! I am creating a new course "History: The Human Story of Technology". I decided to work with Claude to create my slide deck and a handout for students. I carefully crafted the instructions to Claude, gave it sources and it produced an awesome slide deck and handout. Upon sharing it with my students I received a very strong backlash of disapproval and distain. I took a quick poll with Engageli tools and asked my students to vote "YAY" or "NAY" as to whether or not we should employ the use of AI to assist - not replace our learning and teaching. The polls results were 50/50. Welcoming your thoughts and your ideas as to how to respond to this backlash and continue to avail myself of the tremendous resource AI can be for us as Mentors.
