      Encourage Creativity, Not Copying

      AI can be a wonderful tool for sparking children's imagination, but it should never take away the joy of thinking, creating, and discovering things for themselves. Instead of giving children ready-made answers, let's use AI to open doors to new ideas, encourage questions, and inspire them to explore different possibilities. Our goal is to nurture curious thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and confident little learners who are not afraid to use their imagination and come up with ideas of their own.

      At Home: Try using AI to create a fun story starter, then let your child do the rest Encourage them to invent their own characters, decide what happens next, create a surprising ending, and draw illustrations to bring their story to life. You can ask questions like, "What do you think should happen next?" or "What if your character could fly?" Let their imagination lead the way. Remember, AI can give children a starting point, but the most wonderful ideas are often the ones they create themselves!

      Students act safely, ethically, respectfully, and responsibly in digital environments.

      Example: A student asks permission before sharing a classmate's photograph and learns why personal information should be protected. 

      1. Asking permission before using a device

      A child asks a parent before using a phone, tablet, or computer and follows agreed screen-time routines.

      Parent prompt: “Let's ask before we use the tablet. What are we going to learn today?”

      2. Using age-appropriate content

      A child chooses a story, song, or learning game from a parent-approved collection.

      Parent prompt: “Let's choose something that helps us learn or create.”

      3. Balancing screen time with real-world play

      A child learns to put the device away when the agreed activity ends and move on to outdoor play, reading, movement, or hands-on activities.

      Parent prompt: “Our tablet time is finished. Would you like to build with blocks or water the plants?”

      • “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
