As AI evolves, schools must understand how different AI tools fit (or don't fit) on campus. These resources help you explore AI in your teaching practice and also support your daily work.

[~~[Use Generative AI Tools]~~]

== 🛠️ Recommended Tools ==

AI is rapidly changing and being integrated into familiar tools. Riverdale continuously monitors and vets AI platforms to support your work while protecting your data. Many free AI tools use your activity to train their models, so we prioritize protecting everyone's online presence. Refer to the resource below for acceptable AI platforms at Riverdale. To suggest a useful AI tool, [mailto:support-ticket@riverdale.edu email the Technology Department at support-ticket@riverdale.edu].

== 📝 Prompt Engineering Tips ==

Effective AI use requires strong prompts. Detailed and focused input yields the best output. Find prompt engineering resources below for students, faculty and administrators.

[[Access Flint]]

'''Tip:''' Prompting is iterative. Experiment, be patient, and refine your prompts for better results. For help with prompt development, [mailto:support-ticket@riverdale.edu email support-ticket@riverdale.edu]! We're happy to help you brainstorm and develop better prompts.

== 📜 Riverdale AI Policy ==

Riverdale's AI policy guides AI use for students, faculty and other community members:

* '''Students:''' Can only use AI as directed by teachers and utilize school-approved platforms ([[Access Flint|Flint]]).

* '''Faculty:''' Must clearly define how AI can be used and can choose the appropriate level of AI use for their classes ([https://portals.veracross.com/riverdale/faculty/pages/ms-us AI Tutor Chart]).

For details:

* '''Employees:''' Access the AI Policy, AI Tutor Chart, and Cover Sheet on the [https://portals.veracross.com/riverdale/faculty/pages/ms-us Employee Portal MS/US Page under '''''Academics''''']

* '''Students:''' Ask your teachers about the policy and find it in the [https://handbook.riverdale.edu/ Student Handbook] soon.

== 🔎 Detecting AI Work ==

AI text detectors are unreliable and often inaccurate. Riverdale recommends against them. Instead, use reliable methods like revision history in Google Workspace or Turnitin's plagiarism detection.
