Well, thanks a lot @drtink.bsky.social and @writandrhet.bsky.social. Your amazing #POD25 session, "Building Support for Negotiated Grading," has inspired me to completely rework my spring syllabus. Will be thinking of you both as I tear down & rebuild my Blackboard site!

The audience of educational developers at #POD25 cheered at @edufuturist.bsky.social ‘s comment that the only known solution to “the cheating problem” with AI is to “rethink assessment top to bottom.” Apparently, that’s not the usual response. 😂

West Coast time says 6 p.m. but it's 9:00 in Syracuse & that's long past robe & slippers time.
See you tomorrow, @claudiach.bsky.social, @thomasjtobin.bsky.social, @drtnt3.bsky.social, and @jamesmlang.bsky.social.

I always appreciate @cjdenial.bsky.social's insights on editorials! I also noticed that the author describes talking *to* students about GenAI but not *with* students. No easy answers here obvi but a students-as-partners approach could yield strategies beyond "more blue book exams."
Blue books and oral exams etc are definitely one way to respond to GenAI. I find it telling, however, that the OP here does not address disability at all. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...

A real hot teaching take in the NYT today by a professor who banned phones & laptops in class. He explained to students why phones are distracting, so of course everyone complied! They "loved it" & praised him to the skies in their evals! Just ban phones, why didn’t we think of that??

🗃️ Variation of this: I gave students one of my chapters w/no footnotes, asked where they thought footnotes should go: What type of source was used? What makes you think that? They have to consider how writing shows evidence vs. context vs. author’s voice. They liked it a lot and had great questions!
Just sharing the “Xtreme endnotes” assignment @parisnoire.bsky.social mentions here in case anyone else finds it helpful as we begin a new academic year.
FWIW, it’s a purely analog exercise in an AI-freaky world & my students have never not had fun doing it.✌🏽
