Working with National Writing Project teachers and students to create Writing Partners writingpartners.net a social annotation platform that supports AI-guided writing, reading, and discussion. I'll be posting here about what we are learning together.
- Granting that "Student Reflections on AI Use Doesn’t Work" Patrick Dempsey: open.substack.com/pub/thepatri... Here's an image of a revision process by a student on writingpartners.net. How to avoid Dempsey's closed loop? Escaping a Reflection Loop via AI - 1 of 4 #AIinEducation #eduskyAI #edusky
- With breakfast, I read a new post in Psychology Today by John Nosta, "The Curvature of Thought - Personal Perspective: Can AI bend the geometry of human knowing?" www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-... From Blog Post to Peer-Reviewed Article Inquiry via AI 1 of 4 #AIinEducation #eduskyAI #edusky
- Let's start with a paragraph from "Animal Farm," Chapter V, which includes: "Of late the sheep had taken to bleating "Four legs good, two legs bad" both in and out of season, and they often interrupted the Meeting with this." From Literature to Inquiry via AI 1 of 4 #AIinEducation #eduskyAI #edusky
- This Writing Partner (GPT) is really helping me to think about this Abstract. writingpartners.net/documents/85.... #eduskyAI #AIinEducation #edusky
- Where to start?
- Educators Paul Allison, David Cole, and Sam Reed explore strategies for integrating AI into a reading and writing unit focused on Jackie Robinson and his values. 1/5 #eduskyai #aiineducation youtu.be/gqUTDEJLvRY?...
- “Generative AI should not be banned outright, nor should it be embraced without thought. What we really need is guidance, resources, and practice in how to utilize it wisely.” This is the most sensible (from experience) nuanced treatment of AI that I have read. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
- Though it's a stretch for me to understand the metrics in this study, ever since I started reading, I keep returning to these ideas. Their "setup provides explicit estimates of uncertainty and benchmarks AI model by quantifying the synergy they provide to human interaction." doi.org/10.31234/osf...
- John Nosta unpacks the AI tool metaphor here: “This is the quiet revolution we’re living through. This is technology moving from external utility to internal participation.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-... #eduskyAI
- I want to invite you to a conversation about AI through the lens of fiction. Gideon Dishon, the author of "From Monsters to Mazes" writingpartners.net/documents/85... in the abstract: "...fictional texts, can shape our shared imagination of possible and probable futures." #eduskyAI 1/3
- We are reading and annotating together. We would love to see your marginalia on From Monsters to Mazes: Sociotechnical Imaginaries of AI Between Frankenstein and Kafka writingpartners.net/documents/85... before we meet on Wednesday evening, October 1, at 8E/7C/6M/5P in Kumospace.com/youthvoices.
- Why social annotation:“Intelligence—whether human or artificial—is inherently interactive, contextual, and collaborative. Sophisticated thinking rarely occurs in isolation; it emerges instead through dialogue, feedback, refinement, and the integration of diverse perspectives.” osf.io/preprints/ps...
- “What we really need are nuanced approaches that center human agency and experience about how new technologies complicate and alter our habits and skills.” Three cheers for nuance! youtu.be/Fgxf_EJnYEU?...
- “AI can… be the ultimate training partner, a sparring partner for the mind that forces us to level up. The essential challenge is to keep agency at the center of the interaction and to make sure we are directing the conversation rather than outsourcing it.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...
- We invite you to meet Dr. Rachel Horst www.rachelhorst.ca with us on Wed. evening, September 17 at 8E/7C/6M/5P. We'll be meeting in Kumospace.com/youthvoices. www.kumospace.com/youthvoices?... Join us to engage in a collaborative inquiry that seeks to move beyond binary thinking about AI. #eduskyAI
- In this conversation Chris Sloan shares insights on how students in his AP English classes interact with AI-generated feedback, emphasizing the importance of students maintaining agency over their writing. youtu.be/JT9wH-Z5ChY #eduskyAI
