Some important human-centered insights from my National Writing Project colleague @paulallison, taken from his ongoing weekly inquiry discussions with educators and students and others on how to be intentional and thoughtful in any use of GenAI for writing and learning #etmooc2 #ds106

This collection is off a slide from a presentation I facilitated with middle and high school teachers last week on Teaching Writing in the Age of GenAI -- these excerpted quotes come from a New York Times feature in which teenagers wrote about their experience and use of GenAI. So many of them hone in on how inauthentic the AI writing was and how they perceive writing as a way to think through issues, be creative and more. I found their responses to be hopeful, for sure. #edutoot #etmooc2

With a new #ds106 class launching that has an AI twist, I figured I would re-share this collection of webcomics that came from an inquiry I was part of last year for #etmooc2. These comics helped me think about the issues, poke fun at it all, and engage in a different way in how generative AI was changing things. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAAPjs

AI Analogy: Wedding Bands and Disc Jockeys

My dad was a drummer in wedding bands and party bands ... until DJs emerged on the scene, and live music was changed forever ... here, I am trying to explore the analogy of that time period with the period we're coming into now ... thinking out loud ... #etmooc2
