First habits

Three Ideas to Build Around

These planned habits are starting points for future learning design, not measured outcomes.

1. 01Planned Habit

   Think First

   Pause and say what you already know, think or wonder before asking AI.

2. 02Planned Habit

   Keep Personal Information Private

   Do not share names, addresses, login details, school details or other identifying information.

3. 03Planned Habit

   Check Before You Trust

   Treat an AI answer as something to examine, not something that is automatically true.

For adults and educators

Support the Conversation

Any future activity should be used with active adult or educator guidance. A useful starting approach is to:

• Choose a low-stakes topic that the young person already understands.
• Ask for their own view before showing an AI response.
• Read the response together and discuss what might be missing.
• Check important claims with an appropriate, reliable source.
• Stop if the activity asks for personal information or creates uncertainty about safety.

Current safeguards

No Account, Chat or Data Entry

This page is informational. It does not provide an account, open text chat, form or place to enter personal information. It does not send or save answers.

Planned work

Closed-Choice Activities First

The first planned activities would use a small set of prepared choices and explain the reasoning after a selection. Open-ended chat and personal data entry are not part of this roadmap.

No activity should be described as ready for children until these gates and an appropriate adult or educator review are complete.

For now

Use the Beginner Guide Together

Adults and older learners can review the current beginner guidance while this pathway is developed.
