• Generative AI, plagiarism, and “cheating”

  

  Back in January, I wrote a post called Beyond Cheating, reflecting on the ChatGPT bans that were rolling out across various Australian states and the “cheating” narrative that had accompanied the chatbot since its release. In that earlier post, I argued that banning and blocking generative AI would only contribute to the digital divide –…

• Hands on with Adobe Firefly: Finally an image generator that can be used in school

• Teaching Writing with Generative AI

  

  This post is based on a presentation I ran recently at the AATE conference.

• Secondary School Assessment and Artificial Intelligence

  

  When ChatGPT landed on our doorsteps in November 2022, it largely slipped beneath the education radar. By the time term 1 2023 rolled around, however, it’s fair to say that the situation had changed. Most states in Australia banned the technology in Department schools, and those bans remained in place for several months. Despite the…
