So how do you create "AI-Proof" assignments?

Let's start by allowing students to have passion and pride in their work.

North Carolina won’t pay teachers extra for having a master’s degree, but Wake County will now. Starting July 1, Wake County will compensate school employees who missed the state's 2013 cutoff to get paid more for having an advanced degree. #wcpss #nced https://t.co/q4raq0ofUM

How do you innovate within the box of k-12 education until the box changes its shape and color? Such a thought provoking session at #Cosn2023 on "Journey to #AsYetImagined Futures" with transformation of education through blended and personalized learning. @CoSN #WonderWake

[EdTech K–12 Magazine @EdTech_K12]

Panelists @AlisonSchlo, @Keith_Bockwoldt and @MrsAReid come together at #CoSN2023 to discuss AI and ChatGPT. @PeteJust moderates. #cosn2023

[Laura Barnes @LPBarnes1]

Generative AI needs to push our educational philosophies toward more rigorous assignments and activities that build students critical thinking and creation skills. Yes, you might need to re-envision how you develop assessments... #CoSN2023 #WonderWake

[Laura Barnes @LPBarnes1]

Generative AI can build scaffolds for students to grow as they analyze the content provided in their exploration of tools like Chat GPT. #CoSN2023

[Laura Barnes @LPBarnes1]

🥰Thank you!

In the midst of my first @CoSN conference in Austin this week! Engaging conversation on the CoSN EdTechNext Report session. Major topic--Generative AI and thinking about how we can adapt with rapid change and build mindsets for resilience through change. #CoSN2023

[Laura Barnes @LPBarnes1]

@hooverwv Yes! Providing opportunities for students to read and hear themselves reading too, they can replay it and work on fluency! Plus, how fun would this be to show a grown up during student led conferences?

[Laura Barnes @LPBarnes1]

Wondering how to use Canvas for in person learning? "Create deeper dialogues by asking students to post thoughts using Discussions; this gives students who may be too shy to speak up in class a voice."📌ES tip-have students record a video of themselves in their discussion post!
