@indigpolitics As you say, it is fair enough. You have every right to decide who you will speak to and who you trust to mediate with integrity, e hoa. You don’t owe any explanation to anyone.

If you're an educator who's been using ChatGPT (or other generative AI) in some way for planning, instruction, assessment, and/or student learning etc., please reply with what you've been trying so far. I'd love to hear it and & I'm sure that many could benefit. #edtech #pedagogy

@thegreatsookini Yes, thanks, book was published last year. Pleased with how it came together

@difo38 Did you find the writers you needed? I’m interested.
