What would it look like to blow up homework? A few years ago, when I invited an AI founder to visit a high school with me, he offered the provocative thought: “Rather than an essay, why not assign the students to write a whole book?” While this obviously invites a host of other problem, it does make a compelling point: We aren’t thinking big enough. In the era of the so-called "homework apocalypse" -- is there another way to evaluate critical thinking & synthesis outside of the traditional take-home essay? After all, if we want the next generation to think bigger than we do today, that mindset needs to start in the classroom. With AI, no problem is too small. And no idea is too big. In this post, I unpack this problem a bit more and explore a few ideas for things to assign for homework that aren't papers... https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/things-to-assign-for-homework-that-arent-papers I wonder... what would an AI-supercharged assignment look like in your field?
