The Death of Logic in a College Classroom
In this troubling Chronicle of Higher Education article, Brooke Hildebrand Clubbs, a professor at Southern Missouri State University, describes a recent change in her classroom. For the last twelve years, her public-speaking course has provided a delightful (if exhausting) forum for ideas, provocative exchanges, clarification, and redirection. But in a discussion this semester about demagoguery and the…

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
