Setting Student Expectations
Help students understand:
Ask Lexa is NOT:
- A search engine - It's focused on the current worksheet question
- An answer generator - It won't do the work for them
- A replacement for learning - It's a tool to help them learn
Ask Lexa IS:
- A study buddy that guides thinking
- A 24/7 helper when you're not available
- Based on your teaching materials
- Designed to help them learn, not complete work
Limitations Students Should Know
- Focused on the current page - Not for general questions about the assignment
- Hints only - Won't provide complete solutions
- Uses your materials - Guidance aligns with what you've taught
- Complements your teaching - Doesn't replace teacher guidance
Tips for Teachers
- Build your Knowledgebase - More materials = better, more consistent guidance aligned with your teaching
- Encourage "try first" - Students learn better when they attempt before asking
- Remind students it's for learning - Not for getting quick answers
- Use it to supplement, not replace - Your teaching is primary; Lexa supports it
