Teaching: We Can Help Students Think

In this article, John Warner, author of Why They Can’t Write, ruminates on what it means to think and what it means to teach students to think in the age of AI. He usefully points out that students have always turned to strategies and tools to help them think or to help them avoid thinking. AI is just the most recent and disruptive technology to date. He writes, “the problem we need to tackle, then, is how to get students to think,” but to do that, we first need to better understand what we mean by “thinking.”
