I want to finish the first make cycle, which means remixing:
- setting up logs
- making a notebook collection
-
commenting on Youth Voices posts
Paragraph 4 changes
That's plenty.
I also want the process for designing a make transparent, and I want to invite others to make them.

Title: AI Make Cycle One completed
So I finished AI Make Cycle 1.
This is how I would start my semester with students. These three AI MAKES are how I would introduce teachers to this work of teaching with AI on the multimodal, networked platforms of Youth Voices and NowComment. There is so much more, but these are great places to start. And I would recommend that teachers do these three makes themsleves. Each takes 30 minutes to complete, and by doing them a teacher will have a good idea of where their students might need more (or less) support that we have provided. Also, I've opened up comments on each of these makes. I hope teachers and students will leave their questions and their ideas for extendeing or suplemementing each of these AI Makes. Next questions have to do with how to get others to build makes like this, and/or how can I take a teacher's ideas and build a make out of them? Being able to copy each other's makes is an important technological move, but I'm not sure how to help others -- teachers, first, and eventually students -- create makes for other teachers and students to use. What would a Write Out make cycle look like, for example?

Title: with and about AI
Quick thought here. I'm wondering if it might be worth writing very specific sentences for each AI MAKE for what we are making or learning with AI and what we are learning about how AI works It's worth a try. .

Title: My first attempt at With and About AI
Still not sure what I think about this explicit pointing--whether it's helpful for the learner or just extra, but I added this to the first AI MAKE: Personalize your profile:
With and About AI
You have made:
- two text-to-image prompts WITH two different AI Mojo templates.
- two images based on the generated prompts WITH two different AI image generators
You have learned:
- ABOUT how AI can combine your brainstormed words (for SUBJECT, BACKGROUND, and STYLE) with the prompt we have saved in the template and shape the results into a well-formed, detailed, useful paragraph that can act as a prompt for image generation.
- ABOUT how AI Image Generators produce different images based on the prompts they are given and that fine-tuning the language of a prompt changes the image.

Choose three different types of Thinking Partners for dialogue
Engage with peers in mutual commenting
Yes, making time and space for these three moves, providing examples, and scaffolding these activities is important to slow down for. Experiencing your own voice, the power of peer interaction, and the potential of Thinking Partners dialogue makes clear why you are keeping logs on NowComment.

Instead, we circled around on the college essay and where to create it… and privacy and how students and we understand tools and what it means to put something on line. All of which I (obviously) want to get into, but why?

An AI MAKE is designed as a twofer, giving the maker both an experience with awareness-raising, analyzing, seeing, creating, learning, recalling, revising, or remixing something WITH the assistance of AI AND through this creative or analytical process the maker will come to understand something worth knowing ABOUT how AI and Large Language Models work. With this in mind, we are adding a WITH and ABOUT AI section toward the end of each AI MAKE to support the maker’s reflection.

It sounds like you’re trying to reach the end of your first cycle of making, and would like to achieve that by remixing by setting up logs, creating notebooks, and commenting on Youth Voices posts. Additionally, you want to add transparency to the process of designing a make and invite others to create their own. So overall, this text suggests you have a lot of tasks ahead of you and are focused on reaching the end goal of completing your first cycle of making. You seem to be making a plan of action to achieve this goal. What might be some of the challenges you face in this process?
