43. Teaching Grammar in the Age of AI: An Interview with Patty McGee

It's no secret that artificial intelligence (AI) has changed how we can access information and perform tasks. While you may find the benefits and risks of using AI debatable, its ability to make the completion of work more efficient, for better or worse, is hard to deny. But what if you are a teacher who wants your students to learn how to write, and they use AI tools to complete their assignments instead of applying what you teach? Along with how social media has impacted communication, AI may feel like an impossible struggle when teaching your students to write and apply grammar skills. In this interview with national literacy consultant and author Patty McGee, we discuss how to teach students grammar in the availability of AI and strategies to make writing instruction relevant in the digital age.  You can learn more about how to integrate grammar instruction in the content area and more of Patty's resources at www.pattymcgee.orgGet your copy of Not Your Granny's Grammar: An Innovative Approach to Meaningful and Engaging Grammar Instruction here!Have a question or idea for a future episode on teacher burnout or classroom management?
