Today's complaint about the AI in education discourse: Too much of it is framed around a future that is going to happen to us, as opposed to seeing the future as something we may have some agency to shape. I reject the deterministic view of AI, particularly genAI. It's a tool, not our master.

GenAI is a fascist infoweapon, and techbros are a supervillain class.

Hi! Looking for anything other than first year comp. ☺️

I do! My main inquiry is in adapting my dept. requirements for FYC to better reflect the kinds of writing Ss *actually* do in other CC courses (of all disciplines)…

Hi! Do you teach at a community college? I’m looking for descriptions of ANY assignment you give Ss that involves writing.

Trying to make my FYC course as helpful to Ss as possible so would love to see as many assignments from other CC courses as I can… please share!🙏

The #autistic experience of suddenly understanding that your distaste for a whole lot of the kind of work you’ve done for the past 10 years is b/c it’s not what you *really* wanted to do—you were just mirroring what others in your profession were doing 🫠😭💔

PSA: Never ask a career community college professor why they don't teach at a better school.

the ai cycle:

this will do things on it's own

this will do things with human supervision

well if we have a human go over everything it does we'll save some money

turns out it actually can't do anything

I think my access is denied b/c it’s from a Canadian journal, so if any of my CA friends can help, I’d be so so grateful! 🩷🩷#highered #EduSky #DoctoralResearch #femme #autism

Our Turn | A call to 'strengthen the human connections at the heart of education' An open letter, from an inter-generational mix of 23 Urbana High School students, preservice teachers and supportive faculty.

Two Saturdays ago, a high school teacher and I got 11 high school students together with 9 preservice teachers and had a big conversation about school and teaching and learning. Then, we drafted a collective op-ed. It was published this morning!

What’s especially fascinating to me about this is that so-called “academic” writing, which is the kind of writing most often privileged in FYC, is highly patriarchal & masculine.

Again, just my experience: every student who I’ve discovered (or who was suspected of) using it has been a cisgender male. I teach first-year comp.

THE GOOD TROUBLE CHECKLIST keep all your shenanigans in one place

The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said,

"The power of the people is greater than the people in power."

This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward.

“I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now.

It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus.

I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks.

Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.
