Abstract
The research question addressed in this capstone project is: “How can students and educators ethically use Generative AI in the classroom?” This paper, created for the benefit of general education classroom staff, details the creation of a professional development intended to inform educators about the pros, cons, and possible implementations of Generative AI in secondary and tertiary classrooms. The six key topics covered in the capstone are: Defining Generative AI, Ethics of Generative AI, The Effects of Generative AI on the Human Brain, Perception of Generative AI in Education, and finally Monitoring, Teaching About & Handling Generative AI in Schools. Becoming aware of the environmental impacts of Generative AI and its heightened use by students, the goal of the capstone is to inform educators on the risks and benefits of Generative AI use, understand common reasons behind Generative AI misuse in their learning communities, and then provide them with tools to appropriately implement Generative AI and confront its misuse in the classroom.
