This guide is so ... misguided ... I truly don't understand why integration is viewed as so necessary here.
AI literacy is super important. You can teach AI literacy without telling people to use generative AI.

It says that for students, genAI is good for learning (tutors), content creation (bring ideas to "life" and overcome writer's block."
Also says it's good as a collaborative brainstorming partner.
This is astounding to read, because we're talking about a damn school. /

There is quite literally no environment better suited for peer-to-peer collaboration, brainstorming, editing, tutoring, etc.
Also, there are real methods to work through writer's block and plenty of learning opportunities to bring ideas to life through sketches, art, music, videos, etc. /

Why not, since we're in a school, teach the kids to do these things?
I am not a good artist (I wish I was). But when I was in middle school I (and everyone else) gave it my best shot every other day in art class.
And my classmates and I edited each other's essays and brainstormed story ideas together regularly. We were encouraged to do so.
I remember once bringing Shakespeare to life with an impassioned (and terrible) reading, with a friend, in front of the class.
Where does genAI genuinely factor into all this?

Last thought here - this asks so much of teachers. They have to monitor each student's use of an unreliable, unusable "tool" that they are being required to integrate without the necessary training/education to do so.
And I see nothing in this guideline about AI education and improving AI literacy (historical context of AI and genAI, environmental threats, how these systems operate, training, etc.)
That would be important information. This just reads like "hey, use ChatGPT! ChatGPT is cool! We're hip!"

I guess it's a lot to ask, but schools, please, teach your students about artificial intelligence and machine learning. Teach them the history, and the ethics. Let them ponder the philosophy and the morality of it.
Teach them how it works, and what it's actually good for.
Don't just tell them to run wild with it.
