🤖 Introduction
As AI continues to evolve, we have a responsibility to understand how AI might fit—or not fit—into our classrooms so we can best guide our students, support each other, and explore ways that we (as educators) can use AI to support our teaching practices and curriculum development. The resources below are meant to help you explore ways you can incorporate AI into your teaching practice and other day-to-day work for the school.
🛠️ Recommended Tools
AI tools are quickly evolving, and they are being incorporated into many popular tools users already know and love (Google Search, Bing Search, Instagram, macOS, iOS, Android, and more). Riverdale will continue to monitor and vet AI platforms so that we can support your work on campus while also protecting your data and activity based on Privacy Policies. Many free AI tools will use your activity to further train their AI models. As a school, we want to protect everyone's online presence as best as possible. Please refer to the resource below for acceptable AI platforms to use at Riverdale. If there is an AI tool or platform you think would be useful for your work at Riverdale, please reach out to the Technology Department by sending an email to support-ticket@riverdale.edu.
📝 Prompt Engineering Tips
No matter how good AI tools get, prompt engineering will always be important. The more detailed and focused your prompt/input is, the better the output you can expect! Find prompt engineering resources below for both faculty and students.
Tip for everyone: if you are not getting the output from an AI tool that you were expecting, don't be discouraged! Prompting is an iterative process, and requires experimentation, time and patience. Once you develop a working prompt model, then you can save a lot of time in the future. Reach out to the Technology Department by sending an email to support-ticket@riverdale.edu if you would like help developing prompts for your work at Riverdale (as either a teacher or a student). We would be happy to help point you in the right direction!
