Had a great time talking to staff at the University of Maryland yesterday about my four 'rules' for writing in the age of AI. People are using these tools at work in all kinds of ways and while some of the questions are different outside of education, many are the same. /1

Great suggestions here from Tyler Rablin for those designing PD:

Hey teachers…if you have some Sphero robots, give your students a teamwork challenge using 2 of them

Something we can do as teachers, I think, to sometimes interrupt negative cycles for students around missing class: make sure they are welcomed back immediately once they return.

(Which I know is hard/exhausting sometimes, but that doesn't make it any less important.)

In an effort to help kids in Salt Lake County get off their devices, get more exercise, and connect as a family, we are giving FREE rec center passes to kids ages 5-18. #utpol #slco

Do not use AI detectors in schools!

Accuracy of AI detectors, already low, dropped to 22% when researchers added simple changes, like purposeful spelling errors. Worse, the writing of non-native speakers are more likely to be falsely flagged as AI writing arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/pape…

Excellent thread by John Warner on student writing in the age of AI:

If writing is thinking (as I believe it to be) the last thing you want to outsource to AI is the first draft because that's where the initial gathering of thoughts happens. It's why first drafts are hard. That difficulty signals their importance.

Congrats Graham Bany, one of our digital coaches, for his win as UCET's Innovative Teacher Award for Jordan District!

This award recognizes teachers for supporting student learning through innovative teaching practices using tech. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Couldn’t be more excited to be in Cache County School District today to talk about using Nearpod, Duolingo, Flip, Google for Education, and #AI to support multilingual learners.

Fight bullying by making school interesting.

Engagement at school boosts learning... and also decreases bullying. This paper uses multiple studies to show a significant link between boredom in school and sadism, which in turns leads to bullying behavior psyarxiv.com/37ru9/download…

Fine then,
I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf
unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all.
