Below please find a 5-minute video (requested by our Board members) intended to explain to our community how RSU 56 is using (and not using) Generative AI. Like any new technology, there are lots of risks and we know it. We felt that it was important to try and set up norms and regulations around AI instead of just pretending it isn't there (because ready or not, it is here). Please contact Curriculum Coordinator Jason Long if you have any questions at 562-7552. Go Cougars! https://youtu.be/T_HAE28m-sU
