Some important human-centered insights from my National Writing Project colleague @paulallison, taken from his ongoing weekly inquiry discussions with educators and students and others on how to be intentional and thoughtful in any use of GenAI for writing and learning

CHART: Intentionality When Using Al 

Excerpts via Insights by Paul Allison 

Always start with your own authentic, purposeful, human creation. 

Choose an Al Thinking Partner to help you to see what you have created and to take you to the next level of understanding and expression. 

Pay close attention to how helpful, honest, and harmless the Al output is that is sitting next to your deeply committed work.

Spend time reflecting on the gap between the best response you could receive from a human who truly sees

you and knows more than you do about the content of your work and what your Al Thinking Partner has given you. Work to fill in the gap.

This collection is off a slide from a presentation I facilitated with middle and high school teachers last week on Teaching Writing in the Age of GenAI -- these excerpted quotes come from a New York Times feature in which teenagers wrote about their experience and use of GenAI. So many of them hone in on how inauthentic the AI writing was and how they perceive writing as a way to think through issues, be creative and more. I found their responses to be hopeful, for sure.

With a new class launching that has an AI twist, I figured I would re-share this collection of webcomics that came from an inquiry I was part of last year for . These comics helped me think about the issues, poke fun at it all, and engage in a different way in how generative AI was changing things. flic.kr/s/aHBqjAAPjs

@dogtrax As I was writing that paper it was being mirrored by your work earlier this year like 'seedlings of flight...' dogtrax.edublogs.org/2023/05/2 and other work in

Are you aware of the UCLA Center for Mental Health in Schools? They've been working to change systems of support for economically disadvantaged kids for almost 20 years. This graphic is from a comprehensive plan for building students/learning supports. View PDF at smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/br

This is one of the graphics from a 2023 publication from the UCLA Center for Mental Health in Schools. It's part of a comprehensive plan that any school district can adopts.

This particular graphic visualizes the many different school-community initiatives  that are seldom part of a coordinated, long-term plan.

Thanks Doug for being my first follower here. I've been using Mastodon.cloud since 2017 and have about 250 followers, but I've not been able to access it for a few days, so I decided to open an account here.

I've been connected to many educators on Twitter since 2013 via and other groups.

Here's a blog article I wrote in March pointing to blogs being written during a learning event hosted by group. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2023/

AI Analogy: Wedding Bands and Disc Jockeys
dogtrax.edublogs.org/2023/07/1
My dad was a drummer in wedding bands and party bands ... until DJs emerged on the scene, and live music was changed forever ... here, I am trying to explore the analogy of that time period with the period we're coming into now ... thinking out loud ...

@InternetofWords

Thank you for these considerations on where we leave our work behind in the age of AI data scraping. I'm still wrestling with dual notions of being a poet in the open and finding community as a writer with others (which is build on the notions of sharing), and wondering where my words end up. I consider myself more of a "social poet" (I write quick in order to write) than a "published poet" (who is seeking to have works published and recognized).

Thanks for sharing the post

"At the end of the day, I am here to teach. I am here to give students room to grow, shift, change, solidify, or whatever else they might do in relation to the skills and content that I present. I feel like my time is better spent in helping students to learn new things rather than policing everyone on the off chance that I might catch one or two people using AI inappropriately." -- Laura Dumin

@Lawrie@scholar.social True, and I hope some balance emerges, where some possibilities for using AI for learning might make sense and be worth considering and diving into for possibilities, and other concepts just never leave the "maybe this is an idea" pile. It does feel as it if is everywhere all at once now, doesn't it?

@dogtrax @explorergrace

The last #ETMOOC2 ZOOM gathering was last night. There was praise for the contributions from #clmooc folk in the Discord channel.

I wish @dogtrax , @tellio , @nomadwarmachine& others could have participated.

Has anything replaced Vialogues?. If something like that were available, those who could not be in the live ZOOM could still contribute to those conversations.

Do you know if anything like that has emerged?
