No surprise, today's youth are leading the charge from middle school to college. Amy and Mike invited ed tech expert Annie Chechitelli to describe how students use generative AI. What are five things you will learn in this episode? How are students using generative AI?  What are positive and productive ways to use generative AI? What are less-productive ways to use generative AI? Are current detection tools keeping up with AI-generated work? How can educators promote positive adoption and use of AI tools?
