Resources
At the latest work group meeting in October, colleagues reviewed the new AI tool from the Oak National Academy, investigated whether ChatGPT could generate as good a resource as TeachMateAI, and developed a one-page Acceptable Use Policy for AI use by teachers that can be adapted by different settings.
Acceptable Use Policy for AI – Please note that this should be adapted to meet the priorities of your own setting and needs to be reinforced by robust safeguarding, GDPR and assessment policies.
Aila – Oak National Review – The new AI tool from Oak National Academy can be used to create lesson resources.
