Or maybe both. In a new [lesson plan](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm-S3FP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDkvMjcvbGVhcm5pbmcvbGVzc29uLXBsYW4tYXBwbHlpbmctdG8tY29sbGVnZS1pbi10aGUtYWdlLW9mLWFpLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbG5fMjAyMzA5MjkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTAzOTE1Jm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZy1uZXR3b3JrJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDYwMTQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmUUxagWZc-sa_lSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), students learn why chatbots are disrupting college admissions and how institutions are responding. They also look critically at what happens when chatbots are given essay prompts. Finally, they formulate opinions about the practical and ethical uses of A.I. chatbots in the college application process. Then, they have an opportunity to share those opinions by commenting on our [writing prompt](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm-S3FP4QRAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDkvMjcvbGVhcm5pbmcvc2hvdWxkLXN0dWRlbnRzLWxldC1jaGF0Z3B0LWhlbHAtdGhlbS13cml0ZS10aGVpci1jb2xsZWdlLWVzc2F5cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjMwOTI5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwMzkxNSZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQ2MDE0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgplFMWoFmXPrGv5Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).
