Opinion: AI can generate words. College students still need to learn how to write.

A heartening article about a burgeoning bookstore culture in Philadelphia that might be of interest to some attending #NCTE26 this year in Philly! Kinda makes me want to take students on a book crawl bus trip! share.inquirer.com/74HRYz

Philadelphia's bookstores are booming, with readers seeking an 'escape'
Across Greater Philadelphia, bookstores are back. Sellers say screen fatigue, a hunger for community, and a desire to support local businesses are fueling the surge.

I Think a MacArthur Genius Is Wrong About 'Grit'
The development of "grit" as a key to success is a popular theory among education reformers. I think it tells a very limited story.

For 3 years, I taught a writing course to first-year college students that asked these questions and others about AI. Curious to know, in fall 2026, the approximate # of courses being taught at US universities on these topics. I know there are some great ones, but what % of students are taking them?
To do that, global groups like UNESCO, the U.N.’s agency for education, are urging schools to take a more human-centered approach to A.I. education — one that is less focused on how to use chatbots, and more focused on teaching kids about where A.I. products come from, how they work and how they are upending humanity.
