Slide: AI is a powerful helper, not a human mind.

AI can help with words, ideas, examples, translation, and practice. It can also make mistakes. The family job is simple: help the student use AI to learn, not to skip thinking. La IA puede ayudar con palabras, ideas, ejemplos, traduccion y practica. Tambien puede cometer errores. La tarea de la familia es sencilla: ayudar al estudiante a usar IA para aprender, no para evitar pensar.

Step 1: Ask the goal / Paso 1: Pregunta la meta "What are you trying to learn?" "Que estas tratando de aprender?"
Step 2: Choose the AI job / Paso 2: Escoge el trabajo de IA Hint, example, vocabulary, translation, or practice. Pista, ejemplo, vocabulario, traduccion o practica.
Step 3: Student explains / Paso 3: El estudiante explica "Tell me what you understand now." "Dime que entiendes ahora."
Ask / Pregunta What do I need help with?
Check / Verifica Does this match class?
Explain / Explica Can I say it myself?

Try now / Practica ahora Say this with your student: "AI can help us practice. You still need to explain the answer." Di con tu estudiante: "La IA puede ayudarnos a practicar. Todavia necesitas explicar la respuesta."
Green / Verde Ask for hints, practice, vocabulary, translation, or a similar example. Pide pistas, practica, vocabulario, traduccion o un ejemplo parecido.
Yellow / Amarillo Pause and check facts, sources, and whether the student can explain. Pausa y revisa datos, fuentes y si el estudiante puede explicar.
Red / Rojo Do not paste private information or submit AI writing as student work. No pegues informacion privada ni entregues texto de IA como trabajo del estudiante.

Practice: Sort the AI job / Practica: Clasifica el uso de IA

Click each card. Decide: Is AI helping the student learn, or replacing the student's work? Haz clic en cada tarjeta. Decide: La IA ayuda al estudiante a aprender, o reemplaza su trabajo?

Pick a card to see a family coaching move. / Elige una tarjeta para ver una estrategia familiar.
  • Family phrase: "Use AI to get unstuck, then show me what you understand." "Usa la IA para destrabarte, luego muestrame lo que entiendes."
  • Student phrase: "Explain it another way, but do not give me the final answer yet." "Explicalo de otra manera, pero todavia no me des la respuesta final."
Good use / Buen uso "Give me one similar problem to practice." "Dame un problema parecido para practicar."
Not okay / No esta bien "Do my homework and make it sound like me." "Haz mi tarea y que suene como yo."

AI answer: "The moon makes its own light, so it shines at night. You can write that in your science paragraph."
Choose a next step.

Slide: The tutor rule

The safest family rule is: AI may coach, but the student must think, try, and explain. Parents do not need perfect English or tech skills. They can ask AI to slow down, use simple words, and give one step at a time. La regla familiar mas segura es: la IA puede guiar, pero el estudiante debe pensar, intentar y explicar. Las familias no necesitan ingles perfecto ni mucha tecnologia. Pueden pedir a la IA que vaya despacio, use palabras sencillas y de un paso a la vez.

Step 1: Parent asks / Paso 1: La familia pregunta "Show me the directions. What part is hard?" "Muestrame las instrucciones. Que parte es dificil?"
Step 2: AI gives help / Paso 2: La IA ayuda Ask for hints, a similar example, vocabulary, or a checklist. Pide pistas, un ejemplo parecido, vocabulario o una lista.
Step 3: Student tries / Paso 3: El estudiante intenta Student completes the real problem or paragraph in their own words. El estudiante completa el problema o parrafo real con sus propias palabras.

Slide: The 3-check routine

Before a student pastes information into AI or uses an AI answer, pause for three checks: Is it private? Is there a source? Can the student explain it? Antes de pegar informacion en IA o usar una respuesta de IA, hagan tres revisiones: Es privado? Hay una fuente? El estudiante puede explicarlo?

  • Privacy / Privacidad: Remove full names, addresses, passwords, school IDs, photos, medical details, and IEP information. Quita nombres completos, direcciones, contrasenas, numeros escolares, fotos, informacion medica e informacion de IEP.
  • Source / Fuente: Verify facts with class materials, trusted websites, books, or a teacher. Verifica datos con materiales de clase, sitios confiables, libros o un maestro.
  • Sense / Sentido: Ask, "Can my student explain this in their own words?" Pregunta: "Puede mi estudiante explicarlo con sus propias palabras?"
Step 1: Cover private details / Paso 1: Cubre datos privados Change "Maya Johnson at 18 Cedar Lane" to "my student." Cambia "Maya Johnson en 18 Cedar Lane" a "mi estudiante."
Step 2: Ask for a source / Paso 2: Pide una fuente "What source supports this? What should I check?" "Que fuente apoya esto? Que debo revisar?"
Step 3: Student teaches back / Paso 3: El estudiante explica "Explain it to me in your own words before you turn it in." "Explicamelo con tus propias palabras antes de entregarlo."
