As long as grades are the currency, learning will be a transaction, people the product. #ungrading

These detectors seem too easy to fool for anyone who puts in even minimal effort. The wording “likely” is a huge red flag for the inefficiency of these detectors.

I joined Twitter during my credentialing program. It was honestly the most I got out of it.

In the age of ChatGPT, this is how I feel as a writing and rhetoric teacher some days.😆

It's been a long time overdue to reassess assessments in our schools. Now it seems we're being shoved into the abyss.

My hope is that A.I. will untether teachers from their computer desks and, ironically, allow us to be more human.

I actually did 😃 Though a bit cliché, they're pretty good. I would have liked to have seen some hashtags. I guess #ungrading gets too redundant

They're all cringe-worthy. I wonder what dataset it pulled these from?

I'm so tired of data for data's sake. Those numbers go right into my round file.🗑️

Schooling for a world that no longer exists is a scam. Educating for the future is hard to predict. The answer has always been to educate the individual to become inspired, resilient, self-confident, and self-aware, so that he or she creates the future by design.
