Anna Mills facilitates the MYFest session held on 26 June 2024 with the full title: AI for Writing Feedback: Supporting a Human-Centered Writing Process and Building AI Literacy. In this interactive session, we’ll test out various forms of targeted AI writing feedback. How can AI feedback be incorporated to support students’ development of their own voice and ideas and also to give students practice questioning plausible AI advice? Can we put AI in a limited place where it supplements the responses of human readers and stimulates student thinking without telling them what to write? We’ll explore student comments on how it felt to use AI feedback from recent pilots of the teacher-created app MyEssayFeedback.ai.

How can AI support students’ writing processes without taking the place of writing or thinking? I have been a volunteer advisor on an app developed by teachers, MyEssayFeedback.ai. I wanted to share a little about why this approach makes sense to me as. way to support both AI literacy and students’ development of their own words and ideas.
