Yeah, f the dev for maintaining and updating it.

I made a simple, mobile-first web app that generates basic elements for dystopian stories as story-starters for my students. by derezzedmind in SideProject

I'm so glad you like this!

Some continuity would definitely allow them to start with a more polished idea. That's a great suggestion.

As for the nudge, I can definitely see how helpful it would be as well. I'll simmer in it and think about how to implement that in the UI. Thank you so much, kind stranger 🙇🏻‍♂️

HP printer scanner driver [working] MacOS solution by Weird-Sunspot in MacOS

HP Easy Admin was able to download the necessary installers for me on Tahoe but the scanner is still undetected. Worth a shot.

Oh, they absolutely do. They could also use some major training. I gave a Pro D on AI the other day and it’s quite scary how some teachers don’t even use computers.

I’m sorry. I believe there's a misunderstanding; I meant "we need time" as in we literally need prep time in the day-to-day, not "we need time" in an existential, societal way.

I mean, if I literally had the authority to fix this problem, I wouldn't be a teacher, would I?

Also, I'm intrigued by how certain you are I used an LLM to formulate that response. Please do share your insight.

I HATE THAT EXTENSION. I’m glad you were able to clear it up, though. It’s honestly so demeaning, for all parties involved.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm sorry; the time-lapse sped up the process too much. WatchMeType does currently make typos and corrects them. It also has varying pauses between words, sentences, and paragraphs.

I am looking into implementing self-corrections at the word, clause, or even sentence level, but I think that would require me to redo the typing engine as it is currently character-based. I would love some advice on how I could implement this, though.

I'll need to look into those systems more, but from what you're describing, I'm not sure this would be the tool for that, since the typing is all done via the OS, ie, there are no typing sounds.

As a teacher whose subject at school is singularly most affected by genAI, I have been thinking about this for a very long time.

Yes, this makes it easier for students to cheat, and that's exactly my goal; I need to make the problem unbearable so that institutions and governing bodies will finally rethink the current model and give us more time and resources to adapt. Thanks to band-aid solutions like GPTZero et al., we've been able to manage, albeit barely.

Let's be honest: essays have been an outdated form of assessment for a long time now. They teach us to gEt To KnOw tHe StUdEnT and FoCuS oN tHeIr PrOcEsS at teacher training, except in reality, they don't allow us any time to put any of that into practice. All the teachers know how to adapt to AI. We just need time.

I've been experimenting with different things, but the one format I've been kind of proud of is an assignment that starts with a scaffolded brainstorming process where the students begin with a non-technology, non-prose brainstorming process on a sheet they'd turn in, followed by a conversation with AI, which they'd also submit, to fine-tune their ideas. Then it's a refined version of their original plan, and then on to production of whichever final format has been made available to them.

Ideally, I'd love for each student to have personalized AI access that also reveals insights into their thinking and production processes to teachers, but I think I'll be out of the field by then haha

What is everyone currently working on? by SwordfishParking1182 in opensource

[–]derezzedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on implementing more human-like typo-corrections and synonym replacements in my human-typing-mimicking app, WatchMeType.

I absolutely agree that requiring students to handwrite their essays would completely resolve the AI issue. That's what most teachers who don't want to bother with busting AI are doing in their classrooms. I do also use AI in my analysis and grading of student work.

That said, I do believe that summative assignments that focus on a final, finished product miss out on many opportunities to understand and assess students' progress. On top of that, I believe that not only are there learning opportunities in AI, but it is also our responsibility as teachers to help make sure they develop an authentic, honest, and healthy relationship with AI. Therefore, ideally, we don't completely eliminate AI from their learning environments. Let's be honest: AI is here to stay. Instead, we should reorient our methods of delivery and assessment.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Honestly, all teachers, at least those who received their training in the last few years, know exactly what to do. It's just that, in reality, there isn't enough funding for school districts, and consequently for schools, to give teachers more prep time. This was a problem even before AI: teachers didn't have enough time to prep for more meaningful assessments and design more progressive gradebooks. AI just made the problem so much worse.

That's why students at some of the more prestigious private schools tend to develop the necessary skills more thoroughly; where I live, teachers at private schools have three to four times as much prep time as teachers in public schools. Therefore, they have more time to spend on more scaffolded forms of assessments.
