AI Literacy Tags

It’s time to move past the question of if AI is being used and start exploring how it’s being used.

In today’s classrooms, artificial intelligence is an everyday learning tool—helping students generate ideas, organize thoughts, translate languages, and visualize complex concepts. But as these tools become more integrated into the educational experience, educators need to help promote transparency, reflection, and ownership in the use of AI in learning.

AI Literacy Tags were created to promote transparency, reflection, and ownership in the use of AI in learning. These tags allow students and educators to clearly communicate the role AI played in their work—whether it supported the writing process, provided research insights, or generated images for a presentation. 

Rather than hiding or minimizing AI use, these tags empower learners to recognize their agency, document their choices, and build the critical thinking skills they need to use technology responsibly.

This system isn’t about compliance—it’s about clarity. 

It’s about giving credit where it’s due, while also giving learners the language to describe their process. And most importantly, it’s about creating space for dialogue, equity, and innovation as we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of AI in education.

I’d love to hear how they’re working for you.

Whether you’re using them with students, applying them to your own work, or adapting them for your classroom—your feedback matters. Let me know what’s useful, what’s missing, or what could be clearer.

This is a living system, and your voice helps shape it.
