For their final assignment, @JenRoberts1 has students edit an essay written entirely by #AI. But they must change at least 50% of the text, make it longer, write their own thesis, and add quotes from classroom reading material. calmatters.org/economy/techn…

California teachers are using AI to grade papers. Who’s grading the AI?

AI is increasingly a part of some students’ education as California teachers use tools to grade papers and give students feedback.
