STOP ONLY CATCHING AI. START TEACHING IT.

Two ways to use AI

Detection software. Honor-code revisions. Assignments redesigned to be harder to outsource. Every bit of it treats AI as a threat to contain. Almost none of it asks what it looks like to teach a student to use the thing well.

There are two ways a student uses AI, and they aren’t close. One quietly does the thinking for them. The other turns it into something to argue with, push back against, and use to sharpen work they actually produced. The first erodes the very skills school exists to build. The second is a skill in its own right — and it’s the one almost no one is teaching.

I’m hosting a free one-hour seminar for teachers, department heads, and administrators on the second way: how to fold AI into your teaching honestly, design work that survives it, and model the thinking-partner habit for students directly.

If you’re responsible for an AI policy, an anxious faculty, or just your own classroom, this is a starting framework you can actually stand behind.
