AI is already in our schools. The real challenge is figuring out how to use it without losing the human side of teaching. This session looks at the practical side of AI ethics, covering everything from students using it for assignments to teachers using it for prep and grading. We will talk about how to set clear boundaries, maintain academic integrity, and make sure AI stays a tool for learning instead of a replacement for it. You will walk away with a simple framework to help you and your students navigate these tools responsibly.
