Squatter 36 - AI Literacy IS Literacy
Welcome to Squatter 36 - AI Literacy IS Literacy
Squatter 36 is an anchor issue focused on AI literacy for educators.
This Squatter is NOT about putting AI directly in students' hands... yet. It is about preparing ourselves - as educators - to understand, evaluate, and use AI thoughtfully, ethically, and responsibly so we're ready when students DO have access.
Inside, you'll find
- A clear definition of AI literacy
- Why increased. AI literacy actually leads to better (not more) AI use
- A side-by-side comparison showing why AI literacy IS literacy
- Practical mindset shifts for using AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut
Below this Squatter, you'll also find clickable links to free, educator-focused AI literacy training from Microsoft, NEA, and Google. These resources are optional, self-paced, and designed for teachers - not programmers.
Take what is useful. Skip what's not!
This is about clarity, not compliance.
Microsoft - AI for Educators
Helps you understand what AI is, how AI works, and how to use it responsibly in your practice (including writing good prompts).
NEA - Enhancing Educator Practice with AI
Builds foundational AI literacy for teaching, with ethical and practical strategies.
NEA - Preparing Students for an AI-Powered Future Supports understanding why student AI literacy matters and introduces student competency frameworks.
Google - Generative AI for Educators with Gemini Offers practical training tied to Google’s AI tools in educational workflows.
And now.... Squatter 36

Squatter 32 - Is A.I. Cheating?
Keeping up on the rapid fire posting of squatters. Don't expect it to continue. I was WAY behind on posting. That being said, this Squatter asks the question what exactly is "cheating" when it comes to A.I.? It's not as black and white as you would think. Teachers need to consider this question on a continuum, rather than a yes or no. Check out Squatter 32 to see what I mean. Drop a comment and share your thoughts. Do you have experience with students trying to pass of AI generated work as their own? What do you do in your classes to encourage responsible use of AI... or do you just ban it and pretend it doesn't exist? As usual, click the image below for a full-sized PDF of Squatter 32.
