💯 That's exactly what I'm hearing from friends & colleagues who are having in-depth discussions *with* their students about GenAI.

I always appreciate @cjdenial.bsky.social's insights on editorials! I also noticed that the author describes talking *to* students about GenAI but not *with* students. No easy answers here obvi but a students-as-partners approach could yield strategies beyond "more blue book exams."

A stack of books: Inclusive Teaching; The Caring University; Of Many Minds; The Opposite of Cheating; Designing and Facilitating Workshops with Intentionality

Stack 'o reading! On my own, for informal book clubs & as part of CTLE programs. @kellyhogan.bsky.social @vijisathy.bsky.social @drkevinrmcclure.com @agilefacultyrpr.bsky.social @drtolunoah.bsky.social @oupress.bsky.social @katiepryal.bsky.social @cjdenial.bsky.social

Updated my @syracuseu.bsky.social Center for Teaching & Learning Excellence thrifted office decorations & snack dispensers with a back-to-school / apple-for-the-teacher theme. 🍎✏️🔔

Legit LOL 😂

A real hot teaching take in the NYT today by a professor who banned phones & laptops in class. He explained to students why phones are distracting, so of course everyone complied! They "loved it" & praised him to the skies in their evals! Just ban phones, why didn’t we think of that??

🗃️ Variation of this: I gave students one of my chapters w/no footnotes, asked where they thought footnotes should go: What type of source was used? What makes you think that? They have to consider how writing shows evidence vs. context vs. author’s voice. They liked it a lot and had great questions!

This could fix me.

I'll be keynoting at SUNY Oswego's Academic Affairs Retreat tomorrow & excited to be talking about Snafu Edu
(@oupress.bsky.social). Plus celebrating my friend @johnkane.bsky.social's promotion to SUNY Distinguished Service Professor! 👏 🎉 🙌

I'm really looking forward to visiting the UM CETL in October! Gonna talk about Snafu Edu & hang out with #SoTL superstars like @josheyler.bsky.social, @empittsdonahoe.bsky.social & @liznorell.bsky.social.

A photograph of the cover of the book Of Many Minds. The main title is in bright blue, green, and red, and down the edges of the page you see a multitude of different pens, pencils, and highlighters, no two the same

A photograph of the first page of an essay, by me, called "For Those Who Do Not Love the Archives."

My copy of the wonderful -Of Many Minds: Neurodiversity and Mental Health Among University Faculty and Staff- arrived! I'm honored to have the first essay in this collection; it's far past time for us to talk about all the minds that work (sometimes idiosyncratically, always creatively) in higher ed

🎉!

Thank you, @jlgittinger.bsky.social!

Sometimes the Universe enjoys underlining a life lesson I need. I wrote a whole-a** book about things going wrong and I was still beside myself when something went wrong.

Thank you, @profpatch.bsky.social! That means so much to me. 🙏

Thank you, my friend!

It arrived way late -- I kid you not -- after two big shipping snafus. #ThingsGoingWrongInTheMail #SnafuEdu

Thank you, @drleonj.bsky.social! Check out the last sentence in the Acknowledgments of Snafu Edu. I dedicated it to readers who enjoyed Geeky Pedagogy because knowing educators liked words I wrote about teaching was a huge inspiration for writing more words.
