Rethinking Assessment

2026-06-12 16:20:40 UTC

Swati, yes...great work. By far (IMO 🙂) rethinking assessment by changing the questions we ask is the heavy lifting all educators need to push for. We have to move beyond, "My students are using AI, this is AI generated." to "The students are going to use AI, how can I make this assignment work with AI by using it as a thought partner?"

I love to explore more about 4Cs action plan and framework!

swatitan_22 — 2026-06-12 16:24:25 UTC

Thank you for sharing this. I completely agree. AI is pushing us to focus less on what students create and more on how they think, question, evaluate, and make meaning. It has also challenged me to spend less time trying to catch AI and more time looking for evidence of student thinking and learning.

First- You are amazing Suzanne! :)

I love seeing student work and appreciate how you seamlessly integrate AI use into your teaching. The visuals are pretty stunning and I am sure your students not only enjoyed learning with AI, but took away valuable skills/knowlege they can apply in other areas of their studies/lives.

Suzanne, your presentation was engaging, and thus making the immediate contrasts between old and new ways so clear. Had to smile in remembering Turtle Robots! -Kate Z.

I love the way you use AI by assessing your students during their research.

I was so impressed with your focus on process and ethical transparency, Adam. This message needs to spread.

Thank you, Mannu for your timely presentation. Your focus on critical thinking as part of reimaging is so needed.

Educators and AI- Controlled Urgency

2026-06-12 16:29:54 UTC

Thank you Adam! One takeaway from your presentation is that we (educators) would be wise to move forward with controlled urgency. We have to be fast and nimble, but also cautious. The core question when considering using AI in your teaching with students is...does this tech fit what I want my students to learn and do at the end of my lesson today? If the answer is no, then I wouldn't use it.

This feels like the crux of the problem

dvandyke_edc — 2026-06-12 16:32:37 UTC

We should be asking why students feel the need to skip the processes that learning entails and skip right to the products. Is it because schooling (as opposed to education) has fetishized the grade? Equated the grade with assessment? One potential outcome of the advent of AI is an acceleration of the ungrading movement. You research here, Swati, fits nicely with the wider critique of the focus on grading and artifacts and their being overvalued at the expense of the processes of learning. Thanks!

Mannu,

As a badge student, I have come to know your work during our time together and can confidently say that whoever you interact with is in good hands. You have the ability to approach AI from an authentic human perspective and you never forget that it is just a tool.

dvandyke_edc — 2026-06-12 16:42:02 UTC

I appreciate work that has the temerity to suggest that human beings are capable of more than mindless consumption regardless of the product, material, or information that is being devoured. I also appreciate the application of the 4C's to AI. What's "old" is new again...even in the hyper-accelerated time of the digital and postdigial ages.

2026-06-12 16:46:38 UTC

I love how you conducted your research and shared insights on rethinking assessment for students.
