Featured Resource: Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Family Guides & FAQs

Plain-language guides to help families understand what AI is, where it shows up, and how to use it responsibly.

Try at home: Compare two AI answers to the same question. Ask: “What’s missing?” “How would we verify this?” Practice citing any AI help.
PTO/PTA Workshop Kits (Slides, Handouts, Activities)

Ready-to-adapt materials for family AI nights hosted by PTO/PTA. Run a 45–60 minute session in the cafeteria, gym, or media center—co-led with a teacher or counselor.

Sample agenda: Welcome & goals (5) • What is AI? (10) • Benefits & risks (10) • “Human → AI → Human” review loop (10) • Family demo station(s) (15) • Take-home tips + approved tools (10).
Safety, Privacy & Wellbeing

Help families evaluate tools, protect data, and set age-appropriate boundaries.

House rules to consider: No personal or medical details in public AI tools; disclose any AI help; verify health/mental-health advice with trusted adults; avoid AI “friend” apps.
At-Home Learning: Prompts & Mini-Projects

Short, age-friendly activities that build AI literacy and critical thinking.

  • Fact-check challenge: Ask an AI for three facts about a local landmark; use library databases to verify.
  • Bias check: “Write two different product reviews for the same item.” Compare tone/claims; discuss what’s fair vs. promotional.
  • Creative remix: Co-write a story beginning with AI, then revise together and disclose AI help.
Tip: Keep it Human → AI → Human: adults frame the task, AI drafts, family revises and reflects. Always cite or disclose AI use.
