This episode of the podcast tackles the issue of how we, as educators, might engage with GenAI in our classrooms and features Dr Michelle Kassorla, an Associate Professor of English at Georgia State University, Perimeter College. Michelle has served as a Chair and Expert Panel member for Educause, a non-profit association dedicated to transforming Higher Education through technology. She has co-written the AI Literacy in Teaching and Learning framework for Educause and has published elsewhere on the value of teaching with GenAI. She also writes the substack “The Academic Platypus,” where she advocates strongly for educators to embrace AI in the classroom. In the episode, she outlines practical approaches to teaching with AI, ways of rethinking Bloom’s taxonomy and assessment, the value of human empathy and creativity, and the huge impact that AI agents are likely to have in the coming months.
