And believe it is essential to cultivating the capacity to think in our students. https://writingpartners.net/documents/11376?scroll_to=59427 https://writingpartners.net/documents/11376?scroll_to=59427 Wed, 27 May 2026 20:33:30 -0400 It's interesting that he proposes neither to demonize nor idolize "technological tools" (presumably AI), as a lot of the excerpts I have read seem to demonize it. This postion sounds more open. https://writingpartners.net/documents/11376?scroll_to=59424 https://writingpartners.net/documents/11376?scroll_to=59424 Perhaps he is questioning to what extent AI (as a technological tool) is suitable to creating the ecology of communication he speaks of later? Maybe it is too powerful, it does not allow anything else to grow or be in balance -- to stick with the biological metaphor. We need more of a push and pull that allows for a balance of power within our communication spheres. Wed, 27 May 2026 20:36:51 -0400
