I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

a woman in a red jacket is sitting at a table and talking about a job on a lousy ship .

Alt: Sigourney Weaver, playing Gwen DiMarco in Galaxy Quest, sits at her desk and yells "look, I have one job on this lousy ship. It's stupid, but I'm going to do it, okay?"

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Alice Wong made the world a better place with her fierce advocacy and insight and action. What a loss.

no brain, only alison@alisonborealis.bsky.social · 11mo ago

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us. I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making. May we live up to her example. (so you don't have to go to Instagram)

This might indeed be happening, but we should also keep in mind that “technology is ruining the children!” is a perpetual moral panic. The effect of AI on kids is way too early and amorphous to say anything definitive yet.

“Massive #s of students are going to emerge... who are essentially illiterate. Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate + having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” This isn't the only reason AI is bad, but it's why it is bad for students.

It isn’t as if cheating is new. But now, as one student put it, “the ceiling has been blown off.” Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences? After spending the better part of the past two years grading AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, and Cal State Chico ethics professor, has concerns. “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate,” he said. “Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” That future may arrive sooner than expected when you consider what a short window college really is. Already, roughly half of all undergrads have never experienced college without easy access to generative AI. “We’re talking about an entire generation of learning perhaps significantly undermined here,” said Green, the Santa Clara tech ethicist. “It’s short-circuiting the learning process, and it’s happening fast.”

We are not in a literacy crisis. We are in a moment that calls us to be intentional about teaching and learning. And as @badtoss.bsky.social's excellent thread notes: we know a lot about teaching and learning writing.

Catherine Prendergast@badtoss.bsky.social · last yr.

Every single generation thinks the next generation is ruining thinking because of a new technology. Every. Single. One. It's as perennial as apple pie. It's the literacy myth equivalent of "you'll go blind if you masturbate." Is AI a problem in college? Yes, because you're not ready for that convo

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

Spent some time today talking about A Wrinkle in Time with a group of friends from so many parts of my life. It's a great read in this moment, and the company of smart friends fills me with comfort and hope.

Folks who like crosswords, this is a great new podcast. Fun to get a peek behind the curtain and remember that these puzzles we love are made by real people

Happy Christmas Ellen! Years ago, my wife Ellen (whose sister is Eve) asked her dad why Eve had a holiday named for her but she, Ellen, did not. Her dad had the perfect answer: Dec 23 is Christmas Ellen, a day we now celebrate with loving gratitude for people who just see & love our quirky selves.

Nobody came to our Destressing in Crafty Company event at the CTL, but I enjoyed making some bracelets. I made GIVERS GAIN in honor of my just-finished seminar in which students all said that our peer review was the most significant learning strategy.

Three beaded friendship bracelets on a beige desk. The top, with rainbow sequenced beads, says GIVERS GAIN. the middle, with blue beads, says BREATHE. The bottom, with blue beads, says FEEDBACK IS A GIFT.

Completely agree: Laila McCloud's essay is fabulous and an important look at the racialized power dynamics shaping instructor experiences--we need to look beyond the student/teacher dynamics.

Nicholas A. Emmanuele, PhD (he/him/his)@naemmanuele.bsky.social · 2y ago

If you have not yet checked out Laila I. McCloud's (2023) "Keeping Receipts: Thoughts on Ungrading from a Black Woman Professor" as you explore assessment philosophies and practice, I highly recommend it! #UngradingChat zeal.kings.edu/zeal/article...
