Oh Mann. Nochmal zu dem Schulelternrat eines Gehrdener Gymnasiums und #Schnüffelsoftware auf PRIVATEN SuS-Tablets: Die Argumentation des Vorsitzenden: #Classroom und #Relution sind ganz beschdümmt #DSGVO-Konform und durch die Nutzung von #Microslop 365 sei Datenschutz im Allgemeinen ohnehin eher fragwürdig. Er ist ganz nah dran. Nur noch ein kleiner Schritt… 🤦🏻‍♂️

So what's the truth about ChatGPT and the future of AI in education? We don't really know. But […]

Using ChatGPT for Conferencing and Feedback

I've used conferencing for years as my main form of feedback and assessment. I stopped collecting piles of books, stopped writing margin notes that no-one ever read, and stopped correcting work like a human spell-checker. Aside from the hours of time saved by not "correcting" work, I also built stronger relationships with students as a result of regularly sitting with them 1:1 to go through their work. At the moment, ChatGPT has been banned by the Department of Education in most states […]

Teaching Writing in the Age of AI: Assessment and “Cheating”

This is the fourth post in a series on Teaching Writing in the Age of AI. The first post provided an overview of some of the changes we're facing as the number of AI writing tools increases. Post two covered conversations about academic integrity, and the third post offered some practical advice on teaching students to be critical readers and writers.
