Encourage Reflective Writing
Outside of a writing class (or a writing-intensive content class), you can use metacognitive wrappers shared out through Google Forms or such to help students reflect on their thinking and also have ways to refer back to their reflections.

GenAI will have an effect somewherebetween solving all of education’s problems and destroy-ing learning and education completely.
Yeah, I hate it when people think purely technical solutions will solve social problems. Like, there's a category difference going on. Technology will be a gas pedal, accelerating whatever dynamics were already going on.

One may be tempted to assume that GenAI tools, likeChatGPT, have negated the need for many types of knowl-edge.
I think people who fall to this temptation make a confusion between data and knowledge, which are two different types of things. GenAI produces tokenized words in a string that are statistically most associated with each other, but it's not really producing meaningful conceptual connections that can be used at application level or above, which means our students really can't have learning that transfers.

For example, if you are creating an environment with the theme of “adventure”, what elements would you add to the space to give the audience the overarching experience of adventure? You can see how understanding the theme can affect choices like materials, lighting, props and scenery.
This CONFIRMS what I know about creating video game levels, too. They have an entire field called "environmental storytelling" in game narrative design that is all about making sure the way you interact with the level matches with the themes of the game.

Students don’t know how to make proper use of its vast research options—and they aren’t asking university librarians for help.
This reminds me of The Breakfast Club where the kids are left alone in a giant library that's overwhelming
