Introduction:
Whether they’re writing for work, study, social media, or creative writing, the modern writer has an abundance of tools at their disposal. Spell-checkers, grammar editors, translation tools, word reference websites, online templates, and many more. And now, they have Artificial Intelligence too. Since the release of ChatGPT, the education industry has been scrambling to keep up. The conversation has often focused on how we can use AI to create lessons, identifying writing created by AI or on policing the use of AI. However, like all tools, the focus should be on how to use them effectively.

In this session, I will explore the skills that are necessary to create an effective piece of writing using AI tools, and I will make the case for incorporating these skills into our writing lessons and courses. Participants will get practical ideas they can immediately put into action in their writing lessons or weave into future writing courses. We will also attempt to answer the question: can the use of AI tools to create a piece of writing be considered cheating?
