In middle school, I had to take a study skills class. Is this still part of today's curriculum? Maybe we need more of those to teach kids how to approach a text and take notes. Even when I was in college I had a few professors note that "none of you know how to write a research paper" or implemented pop quizzes when it was obvious no one read the material before coming to lecture. I'm probably one of the rare students that actually did my college reading. I used a highlighter and pencil to do my own version of Cornell notetaking in a book.
As a former teacher of High school student I always found it helpful to provide students with brand new materials to use and found it to motivate them to do what was required. Also, breaking things down into smaller tasks or reviewing an assignment as a group ensured the students were participating. I’m not sure where the topic of AI fits in here unless you are talking about writing.
Actually I need to explore the ramifications of AI.
Katy what are your feelings about AI? I’ve only heard minimal discussion and it was negative.
Beatrice, definitely go and read the articles that are shared in Article Club for full context ☺️ The one I reference about AI and reading is so thoughtful and echos a lot of my sentiments. I am embracing and cautious and open and skeptical.

Thank you Katy. I will go back and read that. I’ll be back to share my thoughts.
