As we dive into Digital Well-Being & Safety, letโs look at how we can help build student awareness and understanding of "AImaginary" relationships, where learners turn to AI for emotional companionship.
While AI is a powerful study partner, it is crucial we help students distinguish between digital support and human connection.
Discussion Challenge: How are you addressing the "human-to-machine" line in your classroom?
- How do you (or might you) help learners maintain a human-first habit when they need emotional support??
- How do you use Gemini to model healthy, task-based interactions?
Learning Activity (Secondary):
- Activity: "Fact-Checking the Bot."
- Task: Use Gemini to generate a response on a complex topic. Have students use Google Docs to highlight which parts feel "human-like" and cross-reference the data and information against trusted sources to identify where Gemini may have made a mistake.
