Greetings, ,
As we settle into the heart of winter here in Michigan, I am looking forward to leading a professional development session tomorrow and preparing for an upcoming webinar with my colleague and co-author, Kristen Hawley Turner.
Also of note this week, the Brookings education team just released a new report, "A new direction for students in an AI world: Prosper, prepare, protect," which is worth a read.
While they argue that "AI-enriched learning," where "[w]ell-designed AI tools and platforms can offer students a number of learning benefits if deployed as a part of an overall, pedagogically sound approach" is possible, their outlook is much gloomier.
Still, Kristen and I hope to, as Brookings suggests, "bend the arc," and consider the ways that
"AI holds significant promise for enhancing writing instruction and student outcomes across multiple dimensions of the writing process when used to amplify student learning rather than shortcut it. Interviews with teachers and education experts, alongside emerging research, suggest that AI technologies can support both teachers and students across the entire writing continuum-when thoughtfully integrated into pedagogical frameworks."
Please consider joining us for an upcoming webinar where we will discuss these ideas and show practical strategies for engaging writers with AI.
Thanks,
Troy |
