Many see artificial intelligence as a way for students to cheat in school, but others see it as a useful tool for education. 

Mary Vogt, Superintendent of Bement Schools, explains that some of her staff have participated in classes that teach educators how to appropriately use AI in the classroom. She sees AI as just the next piece of technology for them to get used to. 

Vogt emphasizes that her staff and students use AI as a tool, not a shortcut. She mentions using it to create labs or worksheets and even resumes for students. 

AI can also be used to help a teacher reach a student and understand what that child is struggling with. Vogt states that being able to tailor a lesson to a student's understanding is a big benefit of the technology.

When it comes to cheating, Vogt indicates that teachers can often tell the difference between something written by a student and something written by a computer. 

At the end of the day, preventing students from cheating with AI is all about setting expectations. Get more information on Bement Schools by visiting bement.k12.il.us
