Great moment! I love how still the water is in the foreground.

Awesome! If teachers understood this, I think they'd use it more. I just need to come up with a less nerdy way of saying "it lowers the activation energy for grading."

How did this go?

I was wondering if the glow and grow is a good low stakes way to start. Did they know the feedback was generated? How did they respond to it?

@emollick.bsky.social's fantastic to getting the 30,000 ft overview where we're headed with generative AI in work and education.

This is going to be a lot more important as generative AI renders essays less valuable as a tool for assessing understanding of reading assignments.

Sure thing! Claude, Google Gemini, and Meta.ai should work, too.

For younger kids, use ChatGPT to reword word problems that cater to their interests.

Also try to get them to connect what they do in class with things they experience every day.

"Why do I need to learn about complex numbers?"

Complex numbers help make the animation in video games more smooth and natural.

If they make beats, complex numbers are needed for the EQ and other effects.

If any of your students are athletes, they'll understand putting in the work (doing boring drills, lifting weights, etc.) so that they can compete better in their games. Every day that they do math, they become better problem solvers. People who like solving problems enjoy their jobs a lot more.

Check my pinned post. If you create the audio, you can also create your own podcast feed for students to add to their podcast players.

Now let's just hope Google doesn't abandon it like has for so many other useful tools they created.

Thanks, Mia. I'll join!

Doesn't that depend on for whom it stops working? If a system still works for those with money and power, aren't they in the advantageous position to keep it going regardless of how it's working for others?

I think this is absolutely the way to go. Students will learn more about the content if they have to vet everything in the generated podcast. It's a great way to build their critical reading & listening skills.

Maybe start w/students choosing 1-3 facts/conclusions in the pod they want to challenge.

If your students like to listen to podcasts, I created a tutorial for teachers to create a podcast feed for their NotebookLM audio overviews.

I feel like the cuts are too quick to make an emotional connection. That and the cuts are all the same length, which feels robotic.
