Good morning! We have a three-part lesson plan about writing and A.I. Plus, a writing prompt for students and a callout for educators. — The Learning NetworkWriting in the age of A.I.
At a time when artificial intelligence chatbots can produce entire polished essays using nothing but a prompt, writers, researchers, educators, students and others are asking: What does it mean to write now? We have two new resources that can help you explore that question with your students using resources from The New York Times and elsewhere. The first is a three-part lesson plan that invites students to reflect on their own relationship with generative A.I., examine why we write in the first place, and then discuss what we gain and lose by using chatbots to help us compose. Second, we have a Student Opinion forum where they can share their thoughts on the question: Does learning to write still matter in the age of A.I.? We hope students will post their thoughts, read what other teenagers have to say, and continue the conversation in the comments. How are you teaching with and about A.I.?We want to hear from teachers across levels, subjects and learning contexts about how they are teaching with and about A.I. Have you banned the technology? Are you teaching A.I. literacy? Are you using chatbots in your lessons? Use our form to answer any or all of these questions. We’re interested in specific, short classroom examples you can provide — on both what has and hasn’t been successful. We hope to publish a collection of your thoughts and ideas later this fall.
