Teaching Writing in the Age of AI

MSELA Summit: A Session For ELA Teachers

Available all year long

Virtual

I recently joined the MSELA Summit, a virtual conference for middle school ELA teachers, to talk about one of the trickiest parts of teaching writing right now: how do we teach students to use AI responsibly while still building real writing skills?

In my session, I walk through practical ways to teach students proper AI use and rethink how we assess writing now that advanced AI tools are just a tap away. We talk through what it actually looks like to guide students toward stronger writing instead of letting AI do the thinking for them.

This session was pre-recorded, and the recording stays up all year, so you can watch it whenever it fits your schedule. Head to the MSELA Summit site here to grab your free pass and check it out.
