| Abstract: | This paper examines the use of ChatGPT as an educational tool to teach writing and revision in a first-semester writing course in Fall 2023 at a regional university. The course used ChatGPT as a classroom model to show students how to ethically use generative AI as part of their writing and revision process. One-on-one conferences about student writing showed marked improvement to students engaging their writer agency when discussing their own writing and in-class activities showed students aware of best practices for using generative AI as part of their writing process. |
