A group of teachers in the US was asked to share their experiences as a teacher.

Below are five comments made by teachers.

The question is... which of these are real and which are made up?

1. A high school student asked me what it means to "put in his own words" instead of copying and pasting.

2. One of the questions on a 2nd year (sophomore) high school test asked "What do Chile, California, Alaska and Japan have in common?" One student answered "They're all in America."

3. I asked an undergraduate student for their opinion on a text. They pulled out their phone, typed my question into ChatGPT, and read aloud the answer it gave.

4. I asked my fifth grade student if I buy 5 apples and you buy 20 more than me, how many apples do you buy? She answered "20?"

5. My eighth-grade class was studying the Sahara Desert. One student asked if the desert was dry.

Modern devices like smartphones and computers can be configured to use biometrics (ex: fingerprints, facial recognition) to identify the user and grant access to the device. Biometrics replace older security systems like passwords, passcodes, and PINs.

Do you use biometrics on your phone or computer, or do you continue to use passcodes?

If you do, have you thought about what might happen if you are incapacitated and someone else needs to access your device?

Feel free to add an opinion, and let us know if you also use two-factor authorization, typically a phone call or text message with a code that you must enter to get access.
