- Vermont school districts are reassessing and developing guidelines regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education.
- Five students from South Burlington and Stowe indicated they either sometimes or never use AI in their learning.
- Students at Stowe High School, like Lily Steele, express minimal use of technology over four years of high school.
- Students at Stowe High School occasionally use AI to create practice tests or study guides, but acknowledge the importance of effort and thought in their learning.
- Jumana Msour from South Burlington avoids using AI due to environmental concerns and potential cognitive decline risks.
- Essex Westford School District has employed three digital learning leaders to help educators effectively integrate AI into their instruction.
- Stowe High’s academic integrity coordinator, Roger Murphy, works to maintain student originality using handwritten samples as reference in cases of suspected AI usage.
- The shift in implementing AI in education is being viewed as a major change in teaching and assessment methods, according to digital learning leaders.
