Essayed in the menchies again. Sub🧵in case you want to teach students *how* to collaborate before you throw them in the group project deep-end instead of assuming they already know. Short version: Let the class define & agree on what a good teammate looks like

To be fair, I did do a bit of “sort it yourselves” while the projects were still underway, but it came with coaching: 1) What’s *your* plan for talking to your wayward peer and seeing if you can wrangle them back onside? 2) What’s your contingency for filling the gaps & getting stuff done?

I think current genAI is, for the most part, an anti-social attack on culture and society. And I'm gonna need y'all to stop making that position look ridiculous by turning yourselves into an over-correcting anti-social attack on culture & society.

I think it was Cory Doctrow who pointed out that SF is a luddite genre in the original sense of the word: Not fearful of tech as such, but cautious and critical of how it's likely to be used. How many SF novels are there (going back to Frankenstein) where the beautiful creation just goes amok?
