I love incorporating work where students get to work with others. It's very easy to with the labs we complete in our Chemistry course. The students are given a set of instructions and have to be able to read and follow along as they conduct the experiment in the classroom. They rely on one another where technology really wouldn't help them at all. They can then engage in the post-lab questions together in class where I can monitor that they are working together and not where one student is copying the answers from the other. They get a lot out of the lab, not only because it is hands-on, but because they get to work through the experiment and questions with another student.

I think this is a really important point that students and most people may not be aware of. Oftentimes, our students are trying to quickly get through the assignment so they can move on to work for another class, not have homework, and/or be able to go on their phone because they are done with their work. They are quick to copy down an answer without thinking through what they are writing. They aren't really taking the time to learn but rather checking the box (for most students, not all).

I had a student cheat on a test using AI. He turned in a broken phone and kept his normal, working phone. As he was sitting in the hallway behind my classroom, another teacher found him with his phone and turned it in to me. When I looked, he had taken pictures of my test and uploaded them to AI. AI had provided him with the correct answers to all of the questions, including ones with graphics. First, I battled calculators for cheating and cell phones and now we're adding AI to the list!
