I’m heading to Texas next week to chat about the impact AI is having in our classrooms. If you’re near Huntsville, I hope you join me for this free workshop. www.escweb.net/tx_esc_06/ca... #AIinEducation #EduSky #EduSkyAI #iTeachEnglish

Attending #NCTE25? Curious about keeping connection at the center & leveraging AI to support writers? Check out: From Comments to Conversations: Rethinking Writing Feedback @815 Cultivating Voice & Empathy Through Poetry @11am Literacy, Algorithms, and AI for Future Ready Students @245 #EduSky

My 9th graders now have full access to Gemini, so my goal isn’t to block AI. It’s to teach them to stay the author. Lochlin drafted his memoir by hand, then used Gemini as a second reader, keeping his voice & tossing what didn’t sound like him. AI as mirror, not ghostwriter. #AIinEducation #EduSky

Here’s a quick clip on why my students write first, then ask AI. Never the other way around. Curious how this looks period by period with real teens? Take a listen & drop your questions. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish on.soundcloud.com/IyseNqlBfXv6...

Heading to Denver for #NCTE2025? I would love connect! I’m presenting three sessions on Saturday, Nov 22 on feedback, poetry, and AI. Each session packed with practical, classroom-tested moves. #EduSky #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish

POL offers SS a chance to develop confidence, improve public speaking skills, & develop their appreciation for poetry. In a time of uncertainty regarding funding, it is more important than ever to consider the essential tools and techniques that can make POL work. bit.ly/47qoTwC #iTeachEnglish

The clock’s ticking, essays stacked, & that voice whispers: AI could grade faster. Tempting. But I’d miss the human moments. Like when a student stopped by & I’d just graded her essay. Stunning. The pride on her face: Worth every minute. AI’s efficient. But it can’t feel that. #AIinEducation #AIWW

I am looking forward to being on the AI panel for this virtual summit! I hope you’ll join us.

Praise for AI in the Writing Workshop from THE Penny Kittle. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish www.heinemann.com/products/187...

Amazing opportunity to support student writers AND grow professionally.

Teaching isn’t just “great tutoring.” It’s trust, relationships, creativity, & seeing the whole human. AI is a tool, only as powerful as the humans who wield it. Is Gates underestimating the human side, or am I overestimating it? #EduSky #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #AIWW #EduSkyAI bit.ly/4nieQQ

Teachers don’t need another mandate. We need ideas that work. So I built the course I wish I had last year: Teaching with AI in the ELA Classroom with @eduspark.bsky.social Real classroom, real kids, real strategies. eduspark.world/courses/teac... #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #EduSky

NH Teachers: Our Fall Gathering is going virtual this year to make it easy for educators from every corner of NH to join. We'd love your help to choose the topic! To vote for topics & RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Just because AI can grade student writing doesn’t mean it should. Our students don’t write to impress a rubric—they write to be heard. Let’s not hand their voices over to the algorithm. www.eschoolnews.com/digital-lear... #EduSky #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #EdTech #AIWW

We spent 3 days leading “AI in the Classroom: Rethinking What’s Possible” at UNH—grounded in real student work, not product pitches. Just hard Qs, classroom-tested examples, & honest conversations about what AI can and can’t do. If you’re wrestling w/ AI, we’re happy to share what’s working! #AIWW

These are the real Qs educators are asking about #AI —not just how to use it, but how to use it ethically, authentically, & in ways that deepen learning. This is what the front lines of education look like: thoughtful, curious, & deeply human. How would you respond? #EduSkyAI #AIWW #AIinEducation

Can AI actually help students write and think more deeply? Yes—really! In this Education Week article, Dennis Magliozzi and Kristina Peterson share practical, classroom-tested ways AI can support student writing and critical thinking. Read it here: http://spr.ly/633224CG1M

Icebreaker idea: 1. Introduce yourself as a word you love (like “serendipity” or “bananas”) 2. Mix words. Pass back out at random + a random image 3. Write a quick story or poem on or alongside the image Silly, creative, and builds instant community. Try it. You’ll love it. We sure did. #EduSky

This book is not about gimmicks. It’s about process. Discovery. And reminding students that the most powerful writing still comes from them. www.heinemann.com/products/187... #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #AIWW #AI #WritingWorkshop #EdTech #TeacherLife #Heinemann

From cutting report writing time in half to strengthening community trust through transparent, ethical use of generative AI, this hands-on course gives law enforcement professionals the practical tools they need to bring AI into their daily work. To register: dirigosafety.com/training/art...

Why do teachers really fear AI? It forces us to examine what we value in education instead of maintaining the status quo. If you’d like to enter your classroom next year w/ purpose instead of fear read this book. www.heinemann.com/products/187... #EduSky #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #AIWW

I believe in a classroom where AI is a thought partner, not a ghostwriter. Where feedback (whether human or machine) is always a dialogue. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #AIWW #EdTech www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Paper won’t fix disconnection. AI didn’t cause the disengagement crisis. It exposed it. The goal of education isn’t control. It’s connection. Not AI-proof classrooms, but ones worth showing up for. bit.ly/4kP8k2C Here's how: bit.ly/3T4aSOc #AIinEducation #EduSkyAI #EduSky #AIWW #iTeachEnglish

The real danger isn’t just AI itself. It’s how we implement it without trust, context, or human guidance. Let's center this conversation where it belongs: on students, and the teachers who know them best. #EduSky #AIinEsucation #AIWW www.heinemann.com/products/187...

AI is exposing the cracks in practices that may have gone unchallenged for too long. When the focus is purely on product, it’s easy for AI to step in. But when we shift toward reflection, process, and authentic engagement, the work becomes human again. #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation #iTeachEnglish #AIWW

The sky isn't falling; it's shifting. Workshop classrooms don’t fear AI- we reframe it. Students write in class; receive feedback from teachers & SS. They reflect on their process & learn to use AI ethically, not hide it. Most importantly: they develop voice, thinking, and ownership. #EduSkyAI #AIWW

In this episode we share how students use #GenAI not as a shortcut, but as a sounding board—one they could push back on, revise from, and ultimately use to sharpen their own voice. This work isn’t about trusting AI. It’s about trusting students. #EduSkyAI #EduSky #AIinEducation

For a taste of what this workshop has to offer check out this three part podcast. blog.heinemann.com/podcast-ai-i...?

Teachers: Join me for this dynamic 3 day workshop. We’ll think through ways in which we might use AI to enhance writing instruction without sacrificing authenticity, ownership, or student voice. Register now: bit.ly/3VImdpB #EduSky #EdSkyAI #AIinEducation #AIWW

So honored Ana chose AI in the Writing Workshop as her prize! Big thanks to @heinemannpub.bsky.social and @rutgersgse.bsky.social Center for Literacy for hosting such an inspiring event. Grateful to share this work with educators who believe in the power of student voice—especially in the age of AI!

AI in the Writing Workshop argues: AI matters, but teaching students to think deeply matters more. Through simple habits — daily reading, quick writes — helping students reclaim focus and reflection. AI will forever be in classrooms. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐞. #EduSky #AIinEducation lnkd.in/eaptSRYZ

There’s a lot of noise about AI and plagiarism detectors. Teachers aren’t playing “gotcha.” We’re asking: Did my student actually learn anything? That’s the real focus. AI can support critical thinking & writing. Authentic learning can still happen: www.heinemann.com/products/187... #EduSky #AIinEdu

If you’re seeing this there’s still time to register for the live Zoom this afternoon. #EduSky #iTeach #AIinEducation #AIWW

Yes! Helping Ss sit with uncertainty & explore possibilities before turning to AI is essential. When we frame AI as a creative collaborator—not just a shortcut—we deepen learning & agency. Love this call to preserve the productive struggle. Follow @mindfulaiedu.bsky.social for more. #AIWW

So grateful for this thoughtful read of AI in the Writing Workshop! We wrote this book to empower educators, not overwhelm them. AI can support the journey, but the teacher is still the compass. Let’s keep the human in the loop. Thank you for spreading the word and helping shift the narrative.
