How I'm Using AI Bots with My Writing Classes To give students more detailed feedback on a writing assignment than she could provide herself, Katie Durkin experimented with AI. She's happy with the results.

A teacher used AI to give students personalized feedback and rubric-based evaluations during writing revisions, improving their stories and guiding targeted instruction. middleweb.com/52204/how-im... #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEd

2-Minute Read. ChatGPT & Generative AI. When Students Use AI in Ways They Shouldn’t, Be Curious, Not Judgmental. By Jen Roberts.

When Jen Roberts / @jen.litandtech.com talks to students who she knows have turned in AI writing as their own work, she almost always starts with the same question:

“Tell me what happened here?”

ROTATE! Now teachers using have an easy way to assign stations AND show students which station they should go to next. Special thanks to @catlintucker.com for her awesome guidance on supporting station rotation. We're excited to do more. What else would you like Grouper to do?

The Research Paper Is Dead. Now What? Some thoughts on Stanford's STORM and Gemini's Deep Research

“Let’s be clear: research itself isn’t dead. Inquiry, analysis, and synthesis still matter. What’s obsolete is the performance of research—the idea that we can measure intellectual engagement by forcing students to produce a 10-page document that AI can generate in an instant.” #EduSkyAi #TLSky

If you’re not using Thin Slides yet… why not? Seriously. It’s the easiest way to get every student to think AND talk in under 5 minutes. Start by asking a great question. #edusky #EduProtocols

The AI Era Demands Curriculum Redesign: Stories from the Frontlines of Change Sharing concrete examples of process-based assessment methods in the age of AI

“… the educational system must adapt… because its here, students are using it, we can’t reliably detect it, and we owe it to them to prepare for a future where AI systems are ubiquitous and its use is expected in the workplace.”

13 Ways to Detect AI Writing Without Technology As more of my students have submitted AI-generated work, I’ve gotten better at recognizing it.

"[S]uspected AI use isn’t immediate grounds for disciplinary action. These cases should be used as conversation starters... and teachable moments to explain the problems with using AI-generated work." techlearning.com/news/7-ways-... #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEd

This simple tactic can help you manage all the student requests during a project or independent activity. 🙌

When Your Classroom Management Goes Off the Rails It can happen to the best of us: classroom management deteriorating over time. By figuring out where the problems are, you can turn things back around.

This week, Claire English — @theunteachables.bsky.social — shares three reasons classroom management can fall apart midway through a school year and what teachers can do to get things heading back in the right direction.

This image serves as a reminder about social media sharing on Bluesky. It features a blue sky background with white clouds and a bold heading reading "REMINDER" accompanied by an exclamation mark in a red circle. The text emphasizes: Bluesky's algorithm is not based on capitalism, so it works differently. Engagement operates differently compared to other platforms. While likes are good, reposting boosts visibility. To support the community, repost content you resonate with to increase its visibility. The message is designed to encourage users to engage through reposting for greater community impact.

Just a reminder that BlueSky works a bit differently. If something resonates with you be sure to repost to let others know it is agreat idea! While likes are great, reposting highlights great ideas for the communities we are building. #TLSky #EduSky #KidLit #Skybrarian #Edtech #Education

Porto worked beautifully. My old Twitter posts were reposts from services like Zite and Feedly--those links didn't open.

Tried the "Porto" Chrome Extension and imported my Twitter archive to Bluesky (hence the 1K posts on my timeline now!). So much is outdated or the links are broken, but it was an interesting experiment nonetheless.

One of my colleagues has her students create a radio broadcast on a given topic from the era, including the content, sound effects, and an advertisement. I don't have a copy of her lesson plan, but I have helped her with the technology using Flip, but that is no longer an option.

We talk about the best AI...Ethan Mollick, Wharton School said, "But the real way to understand AI is to use it. A lot. For about 10 hours, just do stuff with AI that you do for work or fun. Poke it, prod it, ask it weird questions. See where it shines and where it stumbles." #tlsky #aiedu #edusky
