Tool used
Name the app, model, website, or school tool. If you cannot name it, write “unknown” and talk about why that matters.

The AI Receipt
A simple after-action note that keeps AI use honest: what tool was used, what changed, what was checked, and what the kid actually learned.
Prompt or task
Write the job you gave it in plain English: “help me outline,” “quiz me,” “make a chore chart,” or “explain this paragraph.”
What AI gave back
Describe the output: answer, outline, code, image, study questions, plan, explanation, or first draft. Do not just write “it helped.”
What changed
Mark what the human did: edited, rejected, rewrote, checked, combined with another source, simplified, or turned into original work.
What we checked
List the receipt: teacher rule, source, calculator, parent review, textbook, rubric, or real-world test. No receipt means no blind trust.
What I learned
One sentence in your own words with the AI closed. If your kid cannot do this, the tool did too much of the thinking.
“A receipt is not a punishment. It is proof that the tool helped and the learning still belongs to you.”
The receipt rule
If AI changed the work, name the change. If it gave a fact, name the check. If your kid learned something, they should be able to say it plainly.
