Husband, father, English teacher, and education disrupter. Fan of banter and blasphemy. Ruthlessly and unapologetically #ungrading. *Opinions mine.

Do good.
Slay the grades.

As long as grades are the currency, learning will be a transaction, people the product.

Once generative A.I. is integrated into systems like Canvas Speedgrader, will students get notified: “feedback and grade likely given by A.I.”? https://t.co/vIelb7f7NF

Enjoying a much needed spring break knowing that senioritis will be a full blown epidemic next week. 🫠

@BrentGWarner These detectors seem too easy to fool for anyone who puts in even minimal effort.

The wording “likely” is a huge red flag for the inefficiency of these detectors.

Last week I released my 100th ep (96 regular & 4 bonus eps), so to commemorate, I'm sharing some links to some older eps in the comments below. I want celebrate all of the amazing things I've learned from great educators on my podcast & on Twitter!

[Jacob Johnson @gradeslayer]

Yeah — it was epic.

@MichaelDeSousa5 I joined Twitter during my credentialing program.

It was honestly the most I got out of it.

In the age of ChatGPT, this is how I feel as a writing and rhetoric teacher some days.😆

@alexbrouhardEDU It's been a long time overdue to reassess assessments in our schools. Now it seems we're being shoved into the abyss.

@brian_behrman My hope is that A.I. will untether teachers from their computer desks and, ironically, allow us to be more human.

Today’s classroom: Palm Springs and #SpringCUE — let’s goooo!

[Jacob Johnson @gradeslayer]

@Chris_C_Barber Bangers indeed! 👏

[Jacob Johnson @gradeslayer]

I asked ChatGPT to write 10 tweets about how "grades aid learning." Wow -- it even included hashtags. 😂

[Jacob Johnson @gradeslayer]

@Ed_by_design I actually did 😃

Though a bit cliché, they're pretty good. I would have liked to have seen some hashtags. I guess #ungrading gets too redundant

[Jacob Johnson @gradeslayer]

@cleander They're all cringe-worthy. I wonder what dataset it pulled these from?

[Jacob Johnson @gradeslayer]

@mbcourtneyedd I'm so tired of data for data's sake.

Those numbers go right into my round file.🗑️

Schooling for a world that no longer exists is a scam.

Educating for the future is hard to predict.

The answer has always been to educate the individual to become inspired, resilient, self-confident, and self-aware, so that he or she creates the future by design.
