This is a big one that I do within my class. I do not tend to assign homework, because I like to be able to monitor my students' progress in class. In addition, I like them being able to ask me questions when I am in-front of them versus emailing me after school, or just texting their peers for answers. I feel that because I have students do almost all in-class assingments (including working on essays) they are less likely to just use AI because they know that I will be walking around the room and checking in. Whereas, if they are given it to work on at home, then I cannot monitor where they are getting the information from.

This is an area that I have tried to explain to my students. AI is not 100% accurate and they tend not to believe me. However, my colleagues and I have noticed that if you are trying to have ChatGPT write a paper and there needs to be specific quotes from a novel included and you ask ChatGPT to include them, they either are wrong or don't actually exist in the story.

Has anyone else noticed any falsehoods when using AI?

As an English teacher, this is an area that I am struggling with when it comes to the usage of AI in the classroom. We have not been able to find a good system or software that can detect if AI was used. Most of the time, I can tell by the writing style or word choice that a student did not write it, but it is hard to prove. Therefore, I am trying to find authentic ways to get students to not only write, but to write their own work.
