AI should help you understand the next step rather than submit work you cannot explain. Permission can differ between schools, subjects, and assignments, so check with the teacher first. A child's use also depends on age, maturity, platform terms, and adult guidance; an adult workplace workflow is not automatically suitable. Choose a learning objective you can demonstrate afterwards without relying on the generated answer.
What to have ready
Before you start
EDB's digital education blueprint includes an AI learning framework and teaching resources to read alongside the school's current rules. Write what you understand and where you are stuck, then request a hint, another example, or a practice question. When researching, trace each citation to a trustworthy original source. A generated book title or address is not evidence that the source exists or that you have read what supports the claim.
What to do, step by step
- Attempt a short section yourself and identify the difficulty. Confirm whether AI hints or wording assistance are allowed instead of assuming every form of assistance is permitted.
- Ask the tool not to provide the final answer, but to question you or offer a first-step hint. Work through the reasoning and explain each step in your own words.
- Recheck facts, calculations, and citations, write the final version yourself, and retain the initial draft and record of tool use to show how the work developed.
- Disclose use as the teacher requires and ensure you can explain methods and sources without AI. If you cannot, revisit the learning rather than submitting a polished answer.
Costs, timing, and things to check
Do not input classmates' photographs, names, marks, or private school information. Remove your own identifiers and unnecessary attachments when handling coursework.
AI may provide confident but incorrect reasoning or miss the question's limits. Check with the teacher or reliable materials instead of presenting the model's statement as proof.
A practical example
For a percentage exercise, write your own formula, then ask for a similar question with different figures and feedback only after you attempt it. Explain in your own words why a particular quantity is the denominator. This makes the learning visible to you and the teacher, and keeps the tool's role as guided practice rather than a substitute for understanding.
Check the rules, learn through hints, produce your own work, and disclose assistance honestly.
