This session will be devoted to a conversation about AI in the classroom, taking "AI Literacy, Explained<https://www.edweek.org/technology/ai-literacy-explained/2023/05>" (Education Week) as our point of departure. The article gives a good overview of digital literacy practices, and although Education Week imagines a K-12 audience, this approach is relevant to university students, faculty, and more. It gets us thinking about ways to guide students to understand, evaluate, and engage with popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Bard, or Perplexity. For a deeper dive, check out this interdisciplinary repository, Text Gen Ed: Teaching with Text Generation Technologies<https://wac.colostate.edu/repository/collections/textgened/>, from WAC Clearinghouse (Writing Across the Curriculum). It gathers and contextualizes AI assignments from a range of courses and critical perspectives. And even if you don't have time to look at these materials, please don't hesitate to add your voice to the conversation. We hope this session will bring colleagues from various disciplines together to discuss how AI developments shape, influence, or disrupt class activities.

The Talking Teaching discussions are a space to connect and talk about what's new in the world of teaching and learning.  Each session will have a focus on a specific topic but can also be a space to talk about what is happening in the classroom and identify new modalities to explore.  This is our new iteration of the Teaching Breakfast.

We will continue to meet both in person and virtually, so if you feel comfortable participating in person, we'd love to have you in the room; if you would rather meet via Teams, join from your computer.   These sessions will continue to be a place to come together to talk about teaching and hopefully share a few questions and get a few answers.

Join us in person in the Oneonta Room (just past the Experiential Learning Center on the first floor of Hunt Union) or virtually in the Talking Teaching teams space<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MjAxOWIwZWEtYTdhMi00NGM1LTlmZTUtZjdhZDQ2OTNmM2Uz%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22b2c9b1a8-d1ad-4c9f-9172-728a8c08eb65%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22acdbd4c6-8ceb-4ccb-b54d-35c4ab20321f%22%7d>.

We look discussing ways to help your students be more confident with their own learning in your classroom.  We hope to see you on Thursday morning for Talking Teaching (November 2) if you can make it!
