My students are reading a difficult article this week, so I thought I’d explore how to use GenAI to scaffold the reading. The class is “Culturally Sustaining Teaching with Technology”, and we have discussed Freire’s Critical Pedagogy as well as culturally responsive/sustaining pedagogy. I’m attempting to practice what I preach by providing resources but not […]
Note: This post originates from collaboration and discussions between Melissa, Punya, and Nicole. However, it is written from Nicoleās point of view as a current student, reflecting our efforts to explore student perspectives when considering the integration of AI in education. Newsweek recently reported how a former educator and curriculum designer devised a strategy for ācatchingā students using […]
Note: This is a continuation of the shared blogging of Warr, Mishra, and Oster. In this post, Melissa wrote the first draft to which Punya and Nicole added substantial revisions and edits. āScienceā is social. We build on each otherās ideas. We critique each otherās ideas. And thatās how these ideas get refined; and, hopefully, […]
Note: Warr, Oster, and Mishra are at it again with a shared blog post. First (really terrible) draft by Punya, which was cleaned up by ChatGPT and then went through cycles of editing by all of us. Here we go again. Turns out that Googleās new AI search feature is acting up. It told some […]
Note 1: We have written a follow-up post that delves deeper into the “racist” vs “biased” responses- Racist or Just Biased? It’s Complicated Note 2: The shared blogging withĀ Punya Mishra and Nicole Oster continues. Punya crafted the student essay and I generated and analyzed the data. Punya wrote the first draft which was then edited […]
Today ChatGPT4o (the o stands for “omni” apparently š¤·š¼āāļø) was helping me summarize some research I was working on. I gave it some slides of what I was analyzing and, after a few back-and-forths, it told me this: Overall, these differences highlight an evolution in the significance and influence of demographic and socioeconomic variables between […]
Note: This is the next post in the shared blogging experiment with Punya Mishra and Nicole Oster. This time we question what and how we should be teaching about generative AI. The core idea and first draft came from me, to which Punya and Nicole added revisions and edits. The final version emerged through a […]
Note: Featured image made with Adobe Firefly 3. I’ve written a fair number of posts lately where I’ve explored my experiences with large language models, like ChatGPT, and questioned whether what was happening was a “new” type of learning or simply an amplified or enhanced process that is basically the same as the other learning […]
*Cover image of me learning with a computer in a fairy tale created (obviously) with AI…Adobe Firefly, to be exact. I’ve been thinking a lot about what learning with generative AI is or could be. Is it different from other ways we learn? Does it call for a whole different theory of learning, or is […]
Note: The shared blogging experiment with Punya Mishra andĀ Nicole OsterĀ continues. This time we delve into metaphors of the mind, technology and generative AI.Ā The core idea and first draft came from me, to which Punya contributed a substantial rewrite. The final version emerged through a collaborative process between all three. The featured image above was created […]
