A2 On a personal level--I'm floored with its level of social awareness and empathy...like how?! The responses it gives me when asking dating advice and such is astounding. (Given I haven't dated in almost 3 decades...it's nice to have AI to guide me.) LOL. #tlap

A3 Creativity is an amazing gift. I love how it's different for everyone AND I love that it can bypass stereotypes. Our jobs are not only to teach content, but showcase (loudly or quietly depending on the kid) shower them with praise and encourage the poem, the art, the music - whatever it is! #tlap

A2: At the end of each course (the end of each sem.), I have students fill out evaluations. I say, "The version of this class that YOU'RE getting is based on what previous students said they liked, didn't liked, needed, wanted, etc." Now I'll take what YOU tell me and build next year's class. #tlap
