We wanted to challenge the current narrative surrounding AI in education and explore its uses beyond plagiarism. To begin our experiment, we asked, <em>\u201cHow can teachers implement the use of AI in high-school writing workshops to create an empowered writing community where each person values their process over their product?\u201d<\/em> We then created several student personas who may need extra assistance with their writing (e.g. student who is a second language learner, student with autism, student with dyslexia).

We spent a lot of time trying to get ChatGPT to give us the answers that would be helpful for students. The time spent on prompt-engineering may take away from classroom instruction too much. ChatGPT does also have its own biases and at times gave us demoralizing advice that could be harmful for students. Our project was a valuable opportunity to think through how technology can be used in education, in our own writing processes, and how we as future teachers will teach our students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-47p0876-c70be2fcdb564cf3f118c47789568cb9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-47p0876-c70be2fcdb564cf3f118c47789568cb9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-47p0876-c70be2fcdb564cf3f118c47789568cb9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-47p0876-c70be2fcdb564cf3f118c47789568cb9 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-1030x579.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-768x432.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-705x397.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE.jpg\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/12\/Margaret-Molly-and-Annalynn-with-SOU-friends-at-OCTE-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-93615 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-93615 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Margaret Molly and Annalynn with SOU friends at OCTE\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m47auiv8-76108513fc9f67584a43a74c7ddb6bdb\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-m47auiv8-76108513fc9f67584a43a74c7ddb6bdb .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m47auiv8-76108513fc9f67584a43a74c7ddb6bdb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Margaret, Molly, and Annalynn with SOU friends at OCTE<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m47auq90-d4ac36711c202b5bbef360495ffea7f7\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-m47auq90-d4ac36711c202b5bbef360495ffea7f7 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m47auq90-d4ac36711c202b5bbef360495ffea7f7 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Presenting our project, as part of Margaret&#8217;s presentation: \u201cAI &amp; Writing: Centering Student Voices\u201d at the OCTE conference this October was an incredible experience for us.

I was inspired both by watching educators present on topics I share a passion for and by having them listen to us present. I continually find myself looking up to Margaret as an educator and loved being a part of a process that she has put so much time and work into. Margaret&#8217;s confidence in our project and abilities was overwhelming, and I am incredibly grateful for the unique opportunities she gave us to learn and grow. The entire journey of ENG\/PHL 399\u2014starting from the first day of class to The Creativity Conference, the OCTE Conference, and now this blog post\u2014has taught me so much about myself as a thinker, learner, writer, and professional. It has expanded my understanding of key concepts such as creativity, authorship, collaboration, and, most importantly, agency. I will continue to carry the concepts I have learned with me throughout my professional and personal journey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3loi4v6-27a73cf0edfe7d193294f673f2b38462\">\n#top .hr.av-3loi4v6-27a73cf0edfe7d193294f673f2b38462{\nmargin-top:0;\nmargin-bottom:20px;\n}\n.hr.av-3loi4v6-27a73cf0edfe7d193294f673f2b38462 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-3loi4v6-27a73cf0edfe7d193294f673f2b38462 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#d31d22;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-3loi4v6-27a73cf0edfe7d193294f673f2b38462 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-32  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue837' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-31p67s2-34d2df6f4536ab6a71e0dee8fdb0d2d0\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-31p67s2-34d2df6f4536ab6a71e0dee8fdb0d2d0 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-31p67s2-34d2df6f4536ab6a71e0dee8fdb0d2d0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>You can stay up-to-date with all of the exciting things happening in our department by following the English Program on Instagram (souenglish) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SOUEnglishProgram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and by <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdB-YJRDHj3QYJJkUw4TuSh2eYZGSXo7GW60qGcOGUj2wLAWw\/viewform?vc=0&amp;c=0&amp;w=1&amp;flr=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subscribing to this blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Interested in being featured on the English Program blog?
