AI, Assessments & A-Graders: A Student's POV What happens when AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's VEO3 land in the hands of curious, creative high schoolers? In this episode, we talk with Caitlyn, a Year 11 student from Sydney, who gives us a front-row seat to how students are really using AI in school right now. From refining English essays with high-modality language to producing eye-catching videos that bring creative writing to life, Caitlyn shows how AI has become her on-demand study buddy, grammar coach, and even a research assistant. She unpacks how her school's "traffic light system" guides ethical AI use and reveals what happens when students take ownership of the tools and the learning. Caitlyn's perspective offers a grounded, inspiring look at the future of learning with AI. Links Caitlin's VEO3 video for the creative writing exercise, that created the change momentum. VEO3 (Google's video AI tool) - only currently available to paid Gemini or Flow subscribers. The AI Assessment Scale (which Caitlin calls the Traffic Light System, although the AIAS team have moved away from that model a bit) for appropriate AI use in assignments. Ray mentioned a study comparing student trust in feedback from teachers vs. AI
