Generative AI, plagiarism, and “cheating”
Back in January, I wrote a post called Beyond Cheating, reflecting on the ChatGPT bans that were rolling out across various Australian states and the "cheating" narrative that had accompanied the chatbot since its release. In that earlier post, I argued that banning and blocking generative AI would only contribute to the digital divide - students who have greater access to digital technologies would inevitably be able to access and use GAI, putting those who rely on in-school technology […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/09/20/generative-ai-plagiarism-and-cheating/

Hands on with Adobe Firefly: Finally an image generator that can be used in school
Generative AI is a multimodal technology, with applications in text, image, video, audio, and code. Unfortunately, up until now, the actual usefulness of GAI in schools has been limited by technical and practical barriers. ChatGPT, for example, is easy to access but problematic in the classroom due to its obscure terms and conditions and dubious privacy and data storage. There are also ethical concerns with its construction, the bias in the output, and the potential to generate inappropriate […]

AI Principles to Practical Strategies: How Schools Can Apply the National AI Framework
The draft schools AI framework for education is currently open for feedback, alongside a House Standing Committee parliamentary inquiry into Generative Artificial Intelligence in education. The draft framework represents an important step for schools trying to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of Generative AI. I’ve been working with schools on developing their own policies and guidelines, and we are now incorporating elements of the draft framework to align with these national […]

Teaching Writing with Generative AI
This post is based on a presentation I ran recently at the AATE conference. It takes the writing cycle approach from our book 'Practical Writing Strategies' and applies Generative AI at various stages. One of the most pressing concerns at the recent Australian Association for the Teaching of English (AATE) conference was the implications of Generative AI for teachers. There were multiple panels and sessions on the topic, ranging from discussions of AI Ethics to practical considerations for […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/07/13/teaching-writing-with-generative-ai/

Secondary School Assessment and Artificial Intelligence
When ChatGPT landed on our doorsteps in November 2022, it largely slipped beneath the education radar. By the time term 1 2023 rolled around, however, it's fair to say that the situation had changed. Most states in Australia banned the technology in Department schools, and those bans remained in place for several months. Despite the bumpy start, policy is quickly catching up with the reality of these technologies. We're now starting to see some guidelines emerging from various states and […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/06/13/secondary-school-assessment-and-artificial-intelligence/

The AI Iceberg: Understanding ChatGPT
Analogies are useful for understanding complex ideas, and there are plenty of complexities for educators trying to wrap their heads around ChatGPT. In this post, I’ll try to explain some of the features of the chatbot and the model it’s built on top of. I'm deliberately avoiding any kind of analogy that represents the AI as magical, mythical, human, or godlike - we've seen enough of them. I’m not claiming that this analogy is watertight or that there is no better way to conceptualise […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/05/18/the-ai-iceberg-understanding-chatgpt/

Artificial Intelligence and Film Studies: Midjourney versus CAMELS
CAMELS? As an English teacher, I’ve done a lot of analytical film studies over the years. The biggest problem is always students’ grasp of technical language: film analysis tends to drift off into character and plot description, even more so than for written texts. So, when I teach film, I lean more into my Media Studies background. In the UK I completed my undergrad in English and American Literatures. When I trained to teach, it was in English, Media, and Drama. Then, when I first […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/03/29/artificial-intelligence-and-film-studies-midjourney-versus-camels/

Artificial Intelligence Policy in Secondary Schools
As artificial intelligence technologies like ChatGPT and Microsoft's new Bing search engine enter our classrooms, it is important for schools to develop clear and robust policies and guidelines. Having clarity over the acceptable and responsible use of AI is as important for students as it is for teachers, and can provide parents and the wider community with a sense of how AI is being brought into the school. Important update to the OpenAI terms and conditions: OpenAI has changed the age […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/02/23/artificial-intelligence-policy-in-secondary-schools/
