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

Teachers don’t need another mandate. We need ideas that work. So I built the course I wish I had last year:
Teaching with AI in the ELA Classroom with @eduspark.bsky.social Real classroom, real kids, real strategies.

We spent 3 days leading “AI in the Classroom: Rethinking What’s Possible” at UNH—grounded in real student work, not product pitches. Just hard Qs, classroom-tested examples, & honest conversations about what AI can and can’t do. If you’re wrestling w/ AI, we’re happy to share what’s working! #AIWW

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

Icebreaker idea:
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

The real danger isn’t just AI itself. It’s how we implement it without trust, context, or human guidance. Let's center this conversation where it belongs: on students, and the teachers who know them best. #EduSky #AIinEsucation #AIWW www.heinemann.com/products/187...

AI is exposing the cracks in practices that may have gone unchallenged for too long. When the focus is purely on product, it’s easy for AI to step in. But when we shift toward reflection, process, and authentic engagement, the work becomes human again. #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #AIWW

The sky isn't falling; it's shifting. Workshop classrooms don’t fear AI- we reframe it. Students write in class; receive feedback from teachers & SS. They reflect on their process & learn to use AI ethically, not hide it. Most importantly: they develop voice, thinking, and ownership. #EduSkyAI #AIWW

I use AI often to plan and scaffold. And the support students as a thought partner, research partner and writing partner. It’s all about a balance. For more about finding the write balance check out this book.

Sometimes inspiration lands exactly when u need!While planning a research unit, I received this poster for poetry month. Everything clicked. I will now ask SS to research for the NTY Open Letter contest, envisioning "the shared world we want to live in." Can't wait to see what they imagine! #EduSky

I am still buzzing from the incredible energy at our recent gathering of New Hampshire English teachers! It was a joy to see so much creativity and community bloom. Feeling grateful for colleagues who are committed to redefining learning together. #EduSky #iTeachEnglish #NHCTE

AI detectors often yield false positives, particularly for ESL & neurodivergent learners —raising ethical concerns about fairness and bias. Education is about preparation, not punishment. The best teachers don’t fear AI—we teach SS to use it responsibly. That’s the real future of education. #EduSky
