Create a scenario in which a participant will need to apply their learning. The more real-world the scenario, the more your participants will be able to relate to it and the more authentic the question will be for your participants (which leads to more buy-in). || #EduSky #AcademicSky

In higher education, we feel this pressure that we need to be perfect in our video delivery. Don't. Be authentic. Make mistakes. The students will connect with you better if you're authentically yourself. theeddesigner.com/2024/06/20/p... #EduSky #EdTech #AcademicSky

Hate it or love it, students are going to use it, and they will need to use it in their careers. If we teach them how to use it, they may understand the ethical implications of using it and be able to think critically about what's generated. wp.me/peKPOF-hM #AIinEDU #EdTech #EduSky #Academicsky

I'm always so intrigued by conversations surrounding norms. It's often a conversation that involves someone complaining that others don't follow their norm, and no thought or consideration that everyone has their own norms. || theeddesigner.com/2024/07/18/s... #EduSky #AcademicSky #UDL

We get so uncomfortable when we ask the class a question and are met with silence, but students need time to process. If we talk over that silence then someone who might want to respond doesn’t have a chance to. || theeddesigner.com/2025/06/05/t... #EduSky #EdChat #AcademicSky

Don’t get me started on student evaluation of teaching. Get feedback outside that mechanism and use it to improve the course in the same semester that they give the feedback. theeddesigner.com/2025/01/10/t... || #UDL #AcademicSky #EduSky

Enacting student feedback supports student agency and helps them to feel included and respected in the learning process. How do you separate valid criticisms from noise? This post offers three criteria for determining whether to implement student feedback. || #EduSky #AcademicSky #HigherEd
Feedback from students: Moving beyond eliciting and towards enacting

All information has bias, and AI amalgamates the dominant bias. Everyone needs critical data literacy, now more than ever.

Super important disclaimer: AI always needs human oversight. If you're creating any kind of branching scenario about people, know the bias inherent within AI and take steps to manage it by being selective about what you use. theeddesigner.com/2024/05/23/u... || #Edusky #EdTech #AIinEDU
