11. AI and What are we Teaching?
Episode 11 of Teaching Writing in College has been posted!
In this second of two episodes about artificial intelligence and teaching writing, I continue exploring an important concept in cognitive psychology about learning–that the mind must focus on what we want it to learn. The same is true of teaching–if we want students to learn something, we have to decide what we want the focus of our teaching to be. This episode provides a discussion of choices about where to focus our teaching energy and a story from Make it Stick that helps explain why.
