This 4-part course introduces high school students to the ethical and productive use of ChatGPT, an AI language model. Students will explore how to use AI tools to enhance learning, creativity, and personal growth while understanding the ethical boundaries that govern its use. The course aims to empower students with the skills needed to use ChatGPT responsibly in academic and everyday contexts. With a focus on practical application and real-world scenarios, I have designed a clear and engaging approach to teach responsible AI use. Through interactive activities and thoughtful discussions, we will build skills step by step. No prior experience with AI is needed, as we will cover the fundamentals of using ChatGPT responsibly. Whether you’re new to AI or looking to deepen your understanding, join us on this journey to become a confident and ethical user of ChatGPT. We will begin with an overview of AI and the capabilities of ChatGPT, discussing ethical considerations and identifying appropriate uses of the tool. We will then learn how to use ChatGPT effectively for brainstorming, research, and creative projects while understanding the importance of verifying AI-generated content. We will cover ethical boundaries in using ChatGPT for schoolwork, addressing plagiarism, academic integrity, and proper citation practices. Finally, we will explore how to use ChatGPT to enhance skills such as writing and public speaking, and discuss the future of AI in career development.

Hi! I’m Karimah. I am an AP authorized teacher. I’m also a mom of four, global citizen, ardent traveler, and communications specialist of 25 years. I’m originally from Alabama but call Raleigh, NC home for now. I’ve spent 15 years traveling and working abroad, primarily in journalism, communications, and marketing. Among the many roles I’ve assumed, I’ve worked as a teacher, AP teacher, university instructor, coach, trainer, consultant, curriculum developer, and evaluator.
It goes without saying that my professional passion is helping others effectively communicate – whether through a speech, essay, presentation, or ad. My methodology springs from a singular truth; great communication is about understanding the motivations of the receiver and what you want the end result to be. Once you’re able to understand that, everything else will fall into place!
I’ve had immense fun seeing my students bloom into effective communicators. When it “clicks”, there’s an excitement in their eyes, which I look forward to seeing in each of my students’ eyes here!
