My 9th graders now have full access to Gemini, so my goal isn’t to block AI. It’s to teach them to stay the author. Lochlin drafted his memoir by hand, then used Gemini as a second reader, keeping his voice & tossing what didn’t sound like him. AI as mirror, not ghostwriter. #AIinEducation #EduSky

Here’s a quick clip on why my students write first, then ask AI. Never the other way around. Curious how this looks period by period with real teens? Take a listen & drop your questions. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish

Teaching isn’t just “great tutoring.” It’s trust, relationships, creativity, & seeing the whole human. AI is a tool, only as powerful as the humans who wield it. Is Gates underestimating the human side, or am I overestimating it? #EduSky #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #AIWW #EduSkyAI bit.ly/4nieQQ

Grading student writing with AI: What we lose when AI replaces teachers

These are the real Qs educators are asking about #AI —not just how to use it, but how to use it ethically, authentically, & in ways that deepen learning. This is what the front lines of education look like: thoughtful, curious, & deeply human. How would you respond? #EduSkyAI #AIWW #AIinEducation

1. Introduce yourself as a word you love (like “serendipity” or “bananas”)
2. Mix words. Pass back out at random + a random image
3. Write a quick story or poem on or alongside the image
Silly, creative, and builds instant community. Try it. You’ll love it. We sure did. #EduSky
