Scotty unpacks policy & the ethics of AI to Year 12 (20 mins)
Teachers are not the only ones navigating the generative AI space. Students are also curious and want to know how they can use this technology without breaking any rules. As schools, it is our responsibility to ensure we take them on this journey with us and include them in the conversations.
Scotty outlines ways to use generative AI, ethically and responsibly.
VIDEO: Using technology with purpose
Scotty shows students how to inform a STEEPLE (8 mins)
We need to educate students HOW, WHEN, and WHY to use gen AI.
This is what Scotty has as a guided practice in her classroom based on her school policy that states the use of generative AI for school work must be agreed on by the teacher and disclosed through a reference list.
Every teacher, school, and institution has its own set of rules and processes.

The prompt is everything
Writing a good prompt will help the AI form what you are looking for. Otherwise, the response will be generic.
What makes a good prompt? Before you can ask the AI to do something, you need to help it understand the task.
Tell the AI who it is
Example: You are an English teacher, a deputy principal, the Head of Teaching and Learning, a HR manager, a business teacher, social media influencer, parent of a Year 11 student.
Outline the job it needs to do
Example:
- you’re responsible for writing engaging 100-word emails to teachers.
- your job is to write 50-word captions for our Linkedin feed based on articles that are provided
- your role is to write 40-minute lesson plans that require no technology to prepare or deliver.
Describe the tone of its persona
Example:
- Your voice is funny, engaging, and witty
- Your tone is professional but informal
- Your voice is friendly and approachable
Give clear instruction
Example:
- Your first task is to summarise the article below into the key points
- My first request is for an email to Year 11 students reminding them of their homework on finding an Australian mature business and describing it in 100 words. Provide an authentic example in the email.
- First, you need to write an article on importance of connection for teenagers
Remember
You can always ask for it to rewrite the response and be more concise or to provide different information.
You are also able to ask for it to provide resources, like case studies, worksheets as well as answer sheets based on previous responses.

IDEAS FOR REFERENCING
If students are granted access in schools to utilise generative AI for their work, it stands to reason that schools need to establish a standard guide for students to use so they can reference and acknowledge their use.
Referencing generative AI usage is essential to maintain transparency, acknowledge the AI’s contribution, and ensure that readers can differentiate between human-generated and AI-assisted content.
APA Referencing
Provide the name of the AI model & version (ChatGPT4), the developer (OpenAI), the query, and the date when the information was retrieved.
Here’s an example of an APA reference for ChatGPT:
OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT4 [AI model]. “How many female Prime Ministers are there in the world?” Retrieved May 1st, 2023, from https://www.openai.com/chatgpt
In-text citation
Students can cite ChatGPT within the body of their work, indicating the specific point where they have used the AI-generated content. This method helps maintain the flow of their writing while ensuring proper attribution.
Example: According to recent research on climate change (ChatGPT, 2023), the primary cause of global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases emitted by human activities.
Footnotes
Students can provide additional information about the generated content without disrupting their main text. Useful when referencing multiple sources.
Example: The economic impact of climate change is expected to be significant, with some estimates suggesting a global GDP loss of up to 10% by 2100¹.
¹ ChatGPT (2023). Economic consequences of climate change. OpenAI.
Bibliography
A comprehensive list of sources used in a student’s work, including ChatGPT, e included at the end of their assignment. This method ensures all sources are acknowledged and provides readers with additional resources for further exploration.
Example:
References:
ChatGPT (2023). Effects of climate change on wildlife. OpenAI.
ChatGPT (2023). Strategies for mitigating climate change. OpenAI.
Dessler, A. E., & Zhang, Z. (2018). Climate change: Processes, characteristics, and threats. Cambridge University Press.
Giving feedback made easy
Set criteria standards, then create a custom comment.
- Follow the prompt tips above (who it is, what it needs to do, its voice)
- Enter the criteria in for a task at different levels
- Tell it to write a 50 words comment in the second person for a hard-working student who received an A in KU & B in Com.

Schools of the future
In an era marked by rapid technological advances and global interconnectedness, future-proofing schools is imperative. Adapting curricula, embracing digital fluency, and cultivating a skilled workforce are essential to prepare students for unforeseen challenges and careers that do not yet exist, ensuring educational relevance in a dynamically evolving future.
In a world where the pace of change is constantly accelerating, education must evolve to prepare students not just with knowledge, but with the skills they need to navigate an unpredictable future.
Technological, emotional, and cultural intelligences are three pillars upon which a modern education system can build to ensure that learners are equipped to take charge of their learning journey. These skills foster independence and adaptability, which are essential for students and teachers as they face a shifting educational landscape.
