Women Talkin' 'Bout AI
We're Jessica and Kimberly – two non-computer scientists who stumbled into the world of generative AI right alongside everyone else when ChatGPT 3 was released. Since then, we've pivoted our careers to explore the capabilities and limitations of generative AI in teaching, learning, and research. But we're more than just academics –we're also mothers, friends, and colleagues, so of course our conversations sometimes wander into the broader landscape of life.
Women Talkin' 'Bout AI
Writing with AI: Voice, Agency, and the Future of Feedback
🎧 Episode Summary
Dr. Tamara Tate joins Jessica and Kimberly to talk about AI, education, and the evolving role of writing in a world where students can co-write with machines. Tamara shares how she transitioned from a 17-year legal career into education research, what she’s learning through the development of Papyrus AI, and why feedback, voice, and agency matter more than ever. The conversation covers everything from AI literacy and middle school classrooms to the complexities of funding, parent engagement, and what it really means to “offload” learning. It’s a thoughtful, practical look at how generative AI is reshaping writing instruction—and why it’s not just about speed, but meaning.
