Te Puna Wai o Waipapa - Hagley College are conducting three Artificial Intelligence trials in 2024. All trials are using Microsoft Copilot and are focused on the senior school. Top of mind for all trials is the New Zealand Qualification Authourity's Authenticity statement:  Therefore AI is only used in the teaching and learning phase of the process: Trial 1 involves using AI as a Research Assistant in Year 13 Health, Trial 2 focuses on Year 11 students gaining feedback to improve their writing and Trial 3 sees Year 13 students using AI as a project stakeholder.  Student feedback from all three trials so far has been positive: “It was mean! I’ll use it again to research my next assignment… it made summarising useful articles much easier (Student I).” “It was quicker when there was a bunch of complicated jargon, we could make the article easier to understand (Student F).” “I prefer teachers, but when asking a teacher, there’s always about 8 other people wanting help too. With the AI,

Using Google Bard to help summarise teaching cues... This time of year we start preparing for Junior Athletics Day and few of us in the Department are expert in Track and Field so sometimes we need a bit of help with cues for students learning a new skill. I have been trailing AI to help me with this... I input a prompt into Bard asking the following: The first draft it gave me looked like this: I asked Bard to break it down into more of a sequence and this was the result: Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your throwing foot slightly in front of your other foot. Turn your body so that your throwing shoulder is facing the target area. Bend your knees slightly and keep your back straight. Hold the discus in your throwing hand, with your grip on the rim. Grip: Place your index and middle fingers on the rim of the discus, and your thumb and other fingers on the bottom. Your grip should be firm but not too tight. The discus should rest comfortably in your hand, with th

Hagley College English Language Learner teacher Sally has been using ChatGPT with her beginner-level adult English class. ChatGPT is an Artificial Intelligence 'chat bot' that produces human-like text-based content.  Sally used ChatGPT to help students create a clear, accurate email inquiring about flights for a fictitious holiday. Students in this particular class had very good ideas and could identify key points needed for the email, however creating a clear and accurate email was challenging.  Step 1:  Students used the classroom whiteboard to brainstorm important points for their email:  Step 2: Students discussed key things they needed to know or ask in the email: Step 3: Sally collaborated with the class to gather key requirements for the email. These were very informally entered into ChatGPT:  Step 4: Sally clicked "generate" and created the following email and shared this with students to critique.  Step 5: Sally used the ' Regenerate ' feature in

Introduction : A pilot trial was undertaken in Term Two 2023 to encourage students to use the Dictation Tool in Microsoft Word. Research has shown that online tools such as dictation and read-aloud can support the writing process and benefit students who have learning challenges (MacArthur, 1999) and students who do not (Quinlan, 2004).  Students in a Year 11 Physical Education class were studying a level 1 Achievement Standard which required them to demonstrate interpersonal skills and explain how these skills impact others. In practice, students would participate in a game of Kī o Rahi, and at the conclusion of the game, they would enter their explanation into a Word document within the Assignments section of the class's Microsoft Team. For this trial, students could choose to type their explanation or use the Dictation Tool to speak their explanation into the document. Once the Physical Education teacher had set up the class and all students were clear with the requirements
