Vincent Lauter, an #ELSpecialist in #Ankara, used the "English for Media Literacy" @ECAatState OPEN MOOC he built with @ASU to lead curriculum workshops. 20 teachers created materials to support the #MOOC in communities across #Türkiye & #Georgia.

Learned about a tool that helps you adjust your text to the right level. It takes your text and color-code it to show what level each word is. Tip: Use in combination w ChatGPT. https://t.co/svpF9VPRrb

A gold mine of information! Key takeaways for me: 1) slide 67 - "Students need guardrails and guidance" and the link to questions the ss can use for reflecting on the AI feedback. 2) The intro to the teahcher-created tool: https://t.co/qyutbLyNsh Follow @EnglishOER!

I tried to cover a lot, whew. Faculty members were so gracious and engaged. I just wanted the discussion to go on... #AIineducation

Language learning students who over rely on AI for translation may have gaps in intercultural communication, connecting and understanding. https://t.co/76X0QGdFAE @pearsonlanguage

I haven't been on X that much... just heard about this AI tool for giving formative feedback during the writing process. They're looking for pilot participants. Founders: Eric Kean at @WWU @EnglishOER https://t.co/qyutbLyNsh

Education used to be students before scores. That's when we excelled in education.

What did students say they would remember out of all the readings on AI last semester?
The excerpt from @FrankPasquale's The New Laws of Robotics was the clear winner in their evaluations.
Grateful to Lauren Goodlad of @CriticalAI for recommending it.

Great point by @EnglishOER that we should create microlessons on AI Literacy with/for students before we invite them to use Generative AI

[Marc Watkins @Marc__Watkins]

It is increasingly challenging to teach AI literacy and ethical/pragmatic use of GenAI in education when new models/updates continually change capabilities. We had a period 20-22, where GPT-3 was stable and we could explore, now the earth shifts beneath our feet monthly. 1/2

[Anna Mills, annamillsoer.bsky.social, she/her @AnnaRMills]

Someone asked what I would say to faculty who are very resistant to teaching with AI. I don't think we all have to teach with it. But we should teach about it! Students need guidance as it becomes widespread. Your wisdom as an educator is valuable.

I haven't been so moved by a piece about AI and education in a long time.
"A Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights for Education" by @KatieConradKS for @CriticalAI
This is a must-read. Let's share it widely and act on it!

When someone says that something changed their life, I pay attention. @TanKHuynh made that comment in chat during the #MLSummit session with @NataliaESL and @ValentinaESL on sentence-level writing. https://t.co/j6hqk3VGnJ

[Anita Tjan @atjan]

Looking for detailed picture scenes for teaching? @KatieToppel at #MLSummit suggested using a search with the subject and adding "puzzle piece". I googled "airport puzzle piece" and one of the results was this colorful and fun image from @puzzlewarehouse @ELTNetwork #TESOL

[Tan K Huynh (he/his) 🇱🇦🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 @TanKHuynh]

FABULOUS example of using sentence combining to teach complex academic writing by the legendary @NataliaESL #MLsummit
