A Card Deck For Educators: Human-Centered Learning in the Age of GenAI
Carter Moulton
Hi folks,
I wanted to share a project I've been working on that might resonate with folks here who are thinking through AI's role in education and how we can shift from avoidance and policing toward co-creation and critical engagement with our students.
Analog Inspiration is a 48-card deck designed to spark new conversations between educators and students. Each card pairs a human concept, value, or skill (e.g. "trust," "curiosity," or "agency") with practical ideas for integrating AI in ways that center that concept in the classroom. Some cards are instructor-facing; some are student-facing. I designed the card deck to be a part of the conversation about teaching and AI, to encourage teachers to gather together and hold insightful discussions about what makes teaching and learning a worthwhile human endeavor.
The cards work solo for brainstorming or (ideally) with peers and students for deeper conversations about what we're trying to preserve and cultivate in our learning environments. I'm doing a limited run of 100 physical decks (US Shipping only for now), plus digital versions and a free Google Sheet with 47 activity ideas. More info at http://analoginspiration.ai.
Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who's been navigating similar questions about genAI and education. One of my big concerns is the loss of relationships and belonging as we move toward screen-facilitated feedback and ever-scaled class sizes, so hopefully the deck can bring folks together to wrestle with these questions in community.
Best,
Carter
