Let’s minimize AI!

 There have several news articles and opinion articles about the impact of AI on student brains.  Have you read the MIT article?   As a result of this evidence, I’m doing everything I can to minimize use of AI. ( I don’t encourage the use of AI, with the exception of  Grammarly AI , and only for  kids with profound learning differences.) How?  Kids are hand-writing their lab reports, homework, and tests.  We’re collecting data on paper and later creating spreadsheets.  I think we should resume using textbooks whenever possible.  Yes, I’m still using tech, such as slide decks.  I’m insisting the kids look up terms in their books or use instructional videos from class.  Going forward I’m evaluating each assignment in light of these studies about cognitive decline and AI.
