I already use some more creative prompts for student writing, and I can see myself going further in that direction.
Friends, we may be in trouble. My conversation with OpenAI's ChatGPT about the theme of honor in 1 Henry IV (on which I just graded student posts). These aren't brilliant, but they are credible and I would probably not recognize them as not being the students' own work. #Shakespeare #AI #EdTech

The Lawfare Podcast: Decentralized Social Media and the Great Twitter Exodus

It’s Election Day in the United States—so while you wait for the results to come in, why not listen to a podcast about the other biggest story obsessing the political commentariat right now?
