Editing

AI in writing is not as new as we might think it is. In fact, most of us have been
using AI to help with the editing process for quite a few years now. This
primarily includes tools like spellcheckers and grammar checkers. These were
very controversial when they first came out, but now, they have become largely
accepted as a normal way of engaging in the business of writing. Most
professionals use them regularly to improve their writing and catch inadvertent
mistakes.

Using these AI tools is like having an editor standing over our shoulders and
providing instant feedback and suggestions as we write. This can be extremely
powerful. As educators, we know that the more immediate and targeted our
feedback is, the more it can shape and improve our learning. And let’s face it,
teachers can’t possibly sit beside every student throughout the writing process
to provide this type of detailed feedback. There’s just not enough time . . . but
these AI tools can help us make it a reality.

Tools like Grammarly instantly highlight passages that could benefit from a
rewrite. They might flag a grammatical error, an awkward usage, or a
punctuation problem. They typically offer suggestions, rather than an automatic
correction, which requires students to actively engage in the practice of
reviewing a suggestion and then consciously choosing to change something or
leave it as it was originally written. This engagement and feedback loop can help
students improve their skills in real time. Even seasoned writers can benefit from
the watchful eye of an AI editor.
