There’s this idea that I’ve been pondering for a bit that’s probably yet another Everyone Will Yell At Me thing, but… I don’t think that pointing out that AI is full of inaccuracies is an effective tactic at getting people not to use it. It’s based on cultural context that not everyone shares…

I still tense up at the end when there's no communication from them.

Annual story time! #EduSky
6 years ago, my friend Tom tweeted this. Because I’m a holiday LOVER who had a classroom tree and array of holiday assignments,
I paused and decided to poll my students to gauge their feelings.

The Somali community was well-established in Minnesota when I lived there in the late ‘90s and early aughts. The vitriol being directed at them is just as dangerous as any attack on any other group would be. Turning people against their neighbors only hurts communities.

We went to doing this for evaluation, promotion, and tenure letters from the department.
Annual reminder that one nice thing you can do as a coworker is, if you have to write peer reviews, just go ahead and ask your peers what accomplishments they’re proud of this year, and what they want to work on next year. It’ll make your job writing them easier, and help their best work be seen

Totally get that, but I guess I don’t see how the rest of the review supports that reading. Nowhere does it suggest that it would be better off that way.

I support this take.
Have to be honest: I think people are misreading this. I don’t think this sentence is suggesting a desire for it to be like this; it’s simply articulating a possible version of this story. The rest of the review in no way suggests a rejection of the show’s deviation from this possibility.

It takes me 3x as long to grade assignments now, because I have to explain gently and effectively why ChatGPT style writing is boring -- they swim in this stuff now even when they don't use the tools. Maybe no one has even told them their own voice matters, so that is down to us. 3/

Something I’ve noticed and that @johannawinant.bsky.social gets absolutely right: teaching students to focus long enough to build (on) an idea is a gift. It’s no longer standard, at least not in K-12. It requires safety and stamina, both of which are in danger in classrooms across the world.

Doing this takes a shit ton of knowledge, skill, and self/awareness. If you as an educator don’t know why you’re teaching and assessing something, you can’t say “you can’t do this so you don’t pass.”
You need to know and state the why behind everything in your classroom.

Already, we're seeing students in creative fields who don't distinguish between *thinking* about an idea and *generating a prompt* to ask a machine to think for them, because they had a moment of indecision and wanted an instant solution. They can't see how the generated idea *isn't their own*

Grading my favorite assignment where one of the question has students identify what they're most proud of with the research assignments. Always fun to get to say "Yes, you should be proud" as assignment feedback.
