Mine said the same thing when I asked about Taskmaster. It's fine, I'm fine.

Please tell Jon that Williamsburg isn't as bad as he's making it out to be! We lived in Richmond for several years and took day trips there (for fun!). There are breweries now! Restaurants, even! Bakeries too! And the cheese shop is still doing its thing. I see now that these are all food-related. 🤔

The Teaching Takes podcast is back with another episode this week! I'm joined by @drtolunoah.bsky.social to discuss The Best Workshop Ever, so this might be especially interesting to my Ed/Fac Dev friends!

We'll discuss:
- Improved student motivation and engagement

- Decreased tension between faculty and students

and much more!

Hey App State faculty: Join CETLSS on 4/10 @ 9am for a virtual panel on the impact of alternative grading practices on student and faculty success! You'll hear from faculty across disciplines, and get a student perspective as well!

Registration Link: workshops.appstate.edu/course/info/...

I have a student this semester (NOT an education major) doing their final project on the impact that traditional grades have on students. I can't tell if I need to strongly urge this student to pursue Education as a career, or if they're trolling me because I'm easy.

Oh that's interesting. I haven't seen that trend in the faculty that I'm working with, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. I wouldn't be surprised if that trend continues.

CETLSS is hosting a new "Slow Learning/Analog Classrooms" Learning Community. Would love for you to join those discussions, Stephen. Send me an email if you're interested!

Also, not all students are using (or even want to use) this technology. Students are allies, not adversaries.

I think this is a great time for instructors to consider a flipped approach to teaching. Have students engage with content outside class. Then have them do the work for the course during class, where you're present and available. Maybe I should start marketing my Flipped Learning workshop as such.

For reference, the Learning Objectives for the workshop are:
- Identify key challenges and opportunities AI tools present for traditional assessment methods.
- Evaluate existing assignments for vulnerability to AI misuse and adapt them to promote authentic learning and critical thinking.

As I prepare for this workshop, I'd like to crowdsource helpful resources, frameworks, and ideas/suggestions that I can share with faculty who are curious, experimenting, and/or struggling.

If you have anything to send my way, please do!

I'm facilitating a workshop in a couple weeks titled "Re-evaluating Student Assessment in the Age of AI" and I'm really looking forward to digging in with faculty on philosophical considerations and practical strategies for assessing student learning amid a constantly changing AI landscape.

It has happened before and it will happen again! Although there's something about the MM streaming platforms that doesn't like being shown on the big screen in the CETLSS Classroom. Nevertheless, I persist.

We're doing another Study Hall on April 30th. Come on over!

Perfectly understandable! We'll have another study hall on April 30th that won't be a watch party.

Oh most definitely. We usually do one or two each semester. Our next one is April 30th from 9-3!
