Every teacher knows that our students are already using AI tools at school. But they know how to use them with accountability? The AI Classroom Code of Conduct turns that question into a logical, learner-driven experience. Your class will work together to define what smart, appropriate, and ethical use of AI looks like in your classroom together.
Instead of giving students a list of rules, this hands-on course invites them to explore real-world situations, discuss gray areas, and create shared expectations that they truly understand and believe in. Through discussion, collaboration, and reflection, students build the critical thinking skills they need to navigate AI both inside and outside the classroom.
You and your students will love this engaging, discussion-based activity that transforms AI from a gray area into a clear, shared responsibility.

Status Cards
A collection of realistic, conversation-based scenarios that describe students using AI in everyday school situations. They will consider what the use of AI should look like for homework help, discussion, test taking, and group work. These situations spark meaningful conversations about what is right, unclear, or wrong, helping students think critically about their choices. Because each example reflects situations students are likely to encounter this school year, they demystify expectations and give educators a realistic way to address real-world AI challenges before they arise.

Student Status Discussion Worksheet
This structured worksheet guides students through each scenario with clear instructions that help them analyze how AI is being used, identify potential concerns, and develop meaningful hypotheses. By breaking down complex situations into manageable questions, it supports meaningful discussion, encourages every student to participate, and builds critical thinking skills about fairness, accuracy, and responsibility.

Rulemaking Sheet
After exploring the scenarios, this collaborative worksheet helps students turn their ideas into actionable classroom guidelines. Students review patterns, identify common concerns, and write clear, student-friendly rules for the AI Classroom Code of Conduct. This step develops ownership, reinforces learning, and ensures the final Classroom Code of Conduct reflects shared understanding, not just teacher direction.

A Code of Conduct poster for our AI Classroom
This poster brings everything together into a shared, student-created set of expectations for AI use. After discussion and voting, the class records the rules they agreed on in one clear, visible place. Display it in your classroom as a daily reference point that reinforces accountability, builds community, and reminds students to help create the guidelines they are expected to follow.
