PowerBuddy User Tips

Using It Responsibly and Effectively

Your Chat History is Saved 📂

  • PowerBuddy saves all conversations. This means teachers and administrators can review chats if needed.
  • Remember: Be mindful of what you say. Chat history is a record of your actions.

Inappropriate Language is Flagged 🚩

  • Language matters. Harmful, hateful, or inappropriate messages will be flagged automatically.
  • Consequences will follow school policies if inappropriate behavior is identified.
  • Tip: Speak respectfully to PowerBuddy, just like you would to a teacher or classmate.

PowerBuddy is Here to Support You, Not Do the Work for You ✏️

  • Ask for guidance, not answers. PowerBuddy is a tool to help you understand and grow, not to complete your assignments.
  • Example: If you’re stuck, try asking, “Can you explain this in another way?” instead of saying, “What’s the answer?”
