There are sites that can check and let you know how likely it is that student content is AI generated. How reliable they are is hard to tell. I tested a few, and they detected suspect content pretty accurately. However, once I edited the content and used my own “voice,” the generators did not detect AI. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out in the classroom. As the Head of School in a Charter School, I’m working w my English dept. to try and find a solution. Our kids may have to start writing all of their papers in class. The flipped classroom model may indeed make a comeback.

My son had a class at UF this past spring where the professor made it pen and paper in class just for this reason. My son actually liked it because there was no homework outside of class.

When I was teaching, my kids wrote all of their papers in class. Pen and paper. Computers only for final drafts. Saves a lot of headaches and makes the kids THINK!

Yup writing by hand the old fashioned way might be the new thing 😁 I actually think that would be an improvement, for many reasons.

Very little modification is needed, and it is passing the plagiarism checker at our school.

There are new ones developed specially for AI. It’s easy to pass a plagiarism check as not much is plagiarized...just written by “someone” else 🤷‍♀️.

Wow, as a former teacher, I like not only the “in-class” exercise, but also the pen and paper aspect since most kids have lost the skill and the art of handwriting. As a con, though, it sure does limit the editing aspect to yield a great paper.
