Why and How to Create An AI Policy for the Classroom

Session 7: 1:00pm-2:00pm (Saturday March 07, 2026)

Description

Is an AI policy needed in the classroom? Most have an opinion on AI, and it has long made its way to our classroom. Whether or not students are allowed to use AI in your classroom, this session explores and discusses why a policy is needed (or not needed). We'll look at available models to inform those policies, and we'll do group activities on what a transparent policy looks like for students, as well as share your experience and ideas.
