In this panel, writing program faculty share the collective "Principles of Teaching Critical AI Literacy" that we have developed and implemented in Writing and Culture seminars. In particular, we share survey data about AI use among first-year students and detail practical activities and assignments to engage students in critically and ethically using AI to generate ideas, analyze audiences, and conduct research for writing. We also share our efforts to bring more student voices the AI conversation in higher education by developing a collaborative class project across multiple sections in which students created original multimedia web content about AI use in writing, learning, and creative arts.
