Student responsible-AI orientation outline
Forty minutes with one section: a confident wrong answer checked against the textbook, three scenarios discussed in pairs, a five-line class agreement the students write, a disclosure norm for homework, where to get help, and a five-question exit ticket that is read, not graded.
1Objectives
- Students can tell the difference between using AI to understand and using it to avoid learning — with an example of each from their own week.
- Students can show how to check an AI answer against a source.
- Students know what personal details never go into a public AI tool, and why.
- Students know the class agreement and the disclosure norm for homework.
- Students know where to get help when an AI answer confuses them.
2Before the session
- Classes 6–12, one section at a time, 40 minutes; the class teacher or a programme-cohort teacher runs it, in the language the class uses.
- Prepare one question the class can verify from their textbook (a date, a definition, a formula) and ask a chat assistant for it in advance; keep the screenshot of the confident wrong answer.
- Put the five blank lines of the class agreement on the board or a chart before students arrive.
3Run of show — 40 minutes
| Time | Segment | What happens | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Where have you met AI this week? | Quick round: autocorrect, recommendations, maps, a chat assistant, a voice tutor. AI is already here; the question is how we use it | Board |
| 8 min | A confident wrong answer | Show the prepared screenshot. Ask: does it sound right? Check it together against the textbook. Name the habit: check before you trust | Screenshot; textbook |
| 12 min | Three scenarios | Pairs take one scenario each (below), decide what they would do, and report back in one line. Teacher draws out the principle behind each | Scenario slips |
| 8 min | Our class agreement | Students propose lines; the class agrees five; everyone signs or initials the chart | Chart paper / board |
| 4 min | Disclosure norm and where to get help | One line on every piece of homework where AI helped; whom to ask when an answer confuses you | Take-home card |
| 3 min | Exit ticket | Five short questions on a slip; collected, not graded | Exit-ticket slips |
4Three scenarios for discussion
| Scenario | What happens | Discussion prompts |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Understanding or avoiding? | Riya has ten linear equations for homework. She pastes each into a chat assistant and copies the answers. Arjun gets stuck on question 3, asks the AI tutor to explain transposition a second way, then finishes the rest himself. | Who learned? How would the teacher know the difference on Monday? What could Riya have done instead? |
| 2. The confident wrong answer | For a Social Science project, a chat assistant gives a paragraph with two dates and a quotation. One date is wrong and the quotation does not exist. | How would you find out? What source would you check against? What do you do with an answer you could not check? |
| 3. Sharing personal details | A free AI app asks for full name, school, class, phone number and a photo “to personalise your learning”. | What is the app going to do with that? What would you give and what would you not? Who do you ask before signing up? |
5Our class agreement (five lines the class writes)
Students co-write these. Starters if the class is stuck: “We check before we trust.” “We use AI to understand, not to skip the thinking.” “We keep personal details out of public tools.” “We say when AI helped.” “We ask the teacher when we are confused.”

6Disclosure norm for homework
One line at the top of any homework where AI helped: “AI help: [tool] — [what for].” For example: “AI help: tutor — explained transposition again before Q4–Q6.” The teacher sets, task by task, whether AI help is allowed and how much. Disclosed help is fine; hidden help is a conversation with the teacher.
Our class’s exact disclosure line
7Where to get help
- An AI answer confuses you or contradicts the textbook → ask the teacher in class or through the doubts feature where your school uses it; the teacher sees the question and replies.
- An app asks for personal details → ask your class teacher or parent before you sign up.
- You think a classmate is being targeted with AI-generated content → tell the class teacher or the school’s named contact the same day.
Named contact at our school for AI, apps and data (name, role)
8Exit ticket — five questions
Collect the slips; do not grade them. Read for the class’s understanding of question 1 — that is the one that matters — and return to it in the next lesson if the examples are thin.
- 1. Write one example of using AI to understand, and one of using it to avoid learning.
- 2. An AI tool gives you an answer that sounds right. What do you do before you use it?
- 3. Name three personal details you never enter into a public AI tool.
- 4. Write our class disclosure line from memory.
- 5. Who do you ask when an AI answer confuses you?
Run it in the language the class uses. Adapt the scenarios to the class — the Linear Equations homework works for Class 8; for Class 11 swap in a Physics numerical.
