We know how to teach people to improve their writing--but it takes a lot of work. In this episode of Future Fluent, Betsy Corcoran and Jeremy Roschelle talk with Peter Gault, the founder of nonprofit Quill, which gives students feedback on 500 million sentences a year. Quill's been using AI for years and is now sharing its "playbook" on how to build ethically -- and effectively -- with AI.
Here are hefty but important resources around AI and writing.
- Let’s start with the newest one: In our interview, Peter Gault describes a playbook that Quill.org has just created describing its approach to the ethical development of AI. You can check it out here.
- We also discussed the National Reading Panel's 449-page report on what works and doesn't work in literacy. It’s a 25-year old classic and you can get it here. There are a ton of great ideas in this report about how to apply AI to advance student learning.
- Journalist Peg Tyre, a long-time collaborator of Quill, wrote a powerful piece about how to teach writing, “The Writing Revolution,” for The Atlantic in 2012. Check it out here.
