Hickman County Schools AI Usage Report
Student AI Usage
In Hickman County Schools, we want to make sure technology is used safely and well.
Right now, NotebookLM is the only approved Al program for students. We chose this tool
because it is secure and only uses the documents that students provide themselves.
NotebookLM helps students by:
Focusing on their work: Students can upload their own class notes and textbooks, so
the AI gives answers based on their actual school materials.
Creating study aids: It can automatically make summaries, study guides, and quizzes
to help students practice.
Helping with complex topics: It acts like a helper that can explain difficult ideas and
help students work through their lessons.
Staff AI Usage
Teachers use a few different tools to help with their daily work and teaching. These are
categorized by their primary function and AI integration level.
Furthermore, Google-based AI tools are already integrated into our existing Google
Workspace environment, allowing for seamless use.
Fully Al-Powered Tools
These platforms are fully Al-driven and are used by teachers for brainstorming, drafting,
and complex content generation:
ChatGPT: An AI tool used to generate text, answer questions, draft emails, and
brainstorm lesson ideas.
Gemini: An Al assistant integrated into our Workspace, used to help teachers plan
lessons, create instructional content, and analyze complex information.
Other Educational Tools (Partial AI Integration)
These platforms use AI as a helpful, supplementary feature to improve specific tasks, but
they are not fully Al-powered environments:
NotebookLM: Used to manage and synthesize teacher-provided documents.
MagicSchool: Used for creating lesson plans and classroom materials with some AI
support.
Canva: Used to design graphics and presentations, with AI features for layout and
creativity.
Brisk: Used to help give feedback on student work and review resources, using AI to
speed up the process.
Adobe: Used to create and manage digital projects and designs, utilizing some Al
features.
These tools are used to help save time and boost creativity, serving as effective assistants
to our teaching staff.
