This 60-minute webinar from the University of California, Berkeley, explores how Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can be used constructively by students for writing. As these tools become more widespread, teachers have expressed concerns about potential plagiarism, fearing that students may rely on AI-generated content rather than developing their own ideas. However, research shows that students do not plagiarize from AI; instead, they use these tools to enhance and refine their writing. The webinar highlights the positive potential of AI in the classroom when used appropriately, emphasizing trust, student-centered approaches, and cultural responsiveness in AI implementation. This resource offers valuable insights for educators and leaders seeking to incorporate Generative AI tools into their schools and curricula effectively.
