Episode 630
Feedback, Voice, and AI in the Writing Classroom with Anna Mills
|
Anna Mills shares Peer and AI Review and Reflection, plus a layered approach to writing feedback on episode 630 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. She described so well the feelings many of us can have when reading student work today:
There’s the fear that there’s not a human connection, like the fear on the part of the instructor as we’re reading. Is this really the student, or is my life energy being demanded for something that is not coming from a human? |

Dave Eggers Gives a Stark Warning
Silencing our voices
|
When asked what he wishes young people would know, Dave Eggers wants them to recognize that there's only one of them in the world. He cautions them not to let a machine tell their story. He urges them to remember that:
Your voice is essential. The human chorus is incomplete without your voice. Dave Eggers on NPR's Wild Card

Continuing to Catalog my Books
libib is a great tool for this
|
I have continued enjoying using libib to catalog my books at home. Their free, basic plan is perfect to meet my needs. I can scan books via their bar codes and easily manually add others that are too old or obscure to be imported that way. If you have a need for keeping track of who you have loaned your books to, or to have an interactive, published site, the libib Pro subscription might be of interest to you, instead.

...[frustrating] politics aside, what has had my attention this week is the celebrations other countries have had in honor of America250! I'm fortunate to work with the student athletes at my institution, many of whom are international students, and it was great to see countries they are from lighting up with red, white, and blue in honor of our 250! It was a nice reminder that diplomacy and friendship may still exist! 🙂

This week, I'm wondering:
What is a unique place (or context) where you've taught or facilitated?
Hit reply to let me know. I'll choose a few to include in the next Field Journal. Let me know in your reply if you prefer to remain anonymous, as otherwise, I'll assume it is ok to include your name.

Zeynep Tufekci's Advice
Start preparing for the real ways AI will change our world
|
In this piece, Zeynep argues that we're worrying about the wrong things when it comes to AI. We shouldn't be worried about artificial intelligence taking our jobs, she tells us. Instead, there are ways that it will destabilize society that should concern us enough that we take action.
