I want to focus on plagiarism and how to avoid it in education, but I think it really boils down to seeing AI as a tool. I like the idea of steering away from homework, and being able to supervise students in the classroom while they complete their work, as well as keeping the prompts and questions personal enough that it would be more difficult to have chatgpt write the response. I also want to ensure I am checking in often and giving feedback, hopefully leading to students asking questions if they feel stuck. As art is my teachable, I’m not sure I’ll see too many issues arise, as I don’t have much happening online, more in a visual journal which is often filled out in class and of a personal nature. I do want to give adequate instruction on coming up with projects, or creating interesting prompts that students want to connect with to try and avoid seeing pinterest copying, but if it is just for fun or practice I don’t see an issue with it if it is just influencing the final work. I have been using chatgpt to help me come up with titles for my unit plans, as our teacher was looking for catchy titles, something I struggle with! I found it did a great job of coming up with ideas that were appropriate for both pottery and printmaking.
I was looking for a photo to use on unsplash and typed in “plagiarism”, which did not yield any helpful results. Here is a photo I created on a microsoft paint application online instead:
