"Teachers are still struggling with generative AI use even with policy-setting and training around the technology, according to new survey research from the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT)." #edtech #K12TechTalk eschoolnews.com/digital-lear… via @eschoolnews

Despite guidance, generative AI remains a challenge for educators

Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩 Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study found.⁠
Bar chart titled Read Aloud to Improve Writing. "When students were asked to proofread texts aloud, they found up to 12 percentage points more typos, grammatical mistakes, and errors in word choice, a 2022 study found." The bar chart shows the difference between accuracy during silent and aloud reading: silent, 59%, and aloud, 71%.

#ICYMI | A California bill, which passed the state Senate last week and is making its way to the Assembly, would recognize colleges and universities in the state that enroll high numbers of Black students and take intentional steps to better serve them. The bill would establish a formal “Black-Serving Institution” designation for these institutions. Colleges and universities are eligible for the designation if they enroll a student body that’s at least 10 percent Black, or has at least 1,500 Black students, and take various measures to support them, including drafting a Black student success plan (and allocating resources to that plan), fostering a “robust” African American studies program and cocurricular educational activities or affinity centers for Black students. #HigherEd bit.ly/4bC1wRq
