So what kind of response to AI do we need? Rather than just turning to literacy for the answers, we need to carefully consider what kind of ‘text’ AI is. Is it amenable to a literacies response? The stakes are high if we do not think carefully about an appropriate educative response. Not only will we not use AI effectively, ethically or well, we will stop looking for a more suitable and perhaps more robust response to it. We also risk literacy being coopted for compliance and productivity purposes, so it operates as a kind of ‘soft governance’ for participation in the digital economy (Pangrazio and Sefton-Green Citation2024), just as it did in the late nineteenth century when it was used to teach values and morality. If literacy is the right response, then it needs to be more nuanced in how it is operationalised. Currently, it is used in ways that are both too narrow to capture the digital platforms and political and economic systems it is embedded in, but also too broad to capture the huge variations of how it is employed.
On "AI Literacy Day" I suggest reading "The (im)possibility of AI literacy" by @lucipangrazio.bsky.social questioning whether "literacy" is even the right response to AI and, if so, how a meaningful AI literacy could build on the history of "critical digital literacies" doi.org/10.1080/1743...
A decalogue I will definitely consider with my students (future teachers and educators).
Happy to announce this CfP!
A space to discuss globally the role of ethics washing in educational technologies.
Come and join us!

Ambiguous announcement: is it the student and colleagues who get access to Copilot, or Copilot that gets access to the students and colleagues?
Sale otra versión de DigComp 3.0. Más IA, bienestar y derechos, pero sigue pesando una mirada muy centrada en la “competencia” individual.
Una lectura crítica sobre lo que este marco europeo visibiliza… y sobre lo que deja en silencio. jraffaghelli.com/2025/12/15/s...
DigComp 3.0 is out. More AI, wellbeing, rights — and still a strong focus on individual “competence”.
A critical reading on what this EU framework makes visible, and what it quietly leaves out. jraffaghelli.com/2025/12/15/s...
A real challenge, indeed. Openness and public knowledge require praxis and critical reflection on their impacts, risks, and problematic contours, especially in the context of the AI extractive industry. Still, I find this space liberatory amid the many hyped debates on AI.

For those who don't know, I produce a podcast featuring some of the latest thinking in the critical studies of education & tech.

Here is a collection of cards to explore the ethics of AI and data. The result of a participatory design process, from terms selection to the art contest defining the best images illustrating keywords. Instructions for educators included!
Postdigital, postdigital, postdigital...una palabra que circula por mi cabeza insistentemente. Tanto como para denominar mi último libro con ella ;)

Take a look at UNESCO’s Blue Dot magazine about “AI for Flourishing.” An interesting perspective, with relevant contributions enriching it.
My two cents: Can AI Literacy be a Catalyst for Human Flourishing? Insights from the Global South.

Proud to announce yet another creative moment with my good friends of ESBRINA-UB!
We will reflect critically (but through a relaxed conversation!) on the implications of platformisation, datafication, and generative AI for educational research and practice.
Txs Ben and Janja for the advance and insights on the topic. Maybe an idea would be to advance this topic as a network, exploring and comparing transnationally how these factors are crossing our HEd systems and what is the space for a response (including policy making and funding!).
Morning of a new day at #Ecces25 #conference on #criticaledtech
Values in education-I ask myself- lost in the "technological translation" made by Edtech?

Slowness as Postdigital Positionality in the Era of Generative AI: A Conversation
link.springer.com/article/10.1...
A methodological exploration (autoethnography), a conversation lasting long, slowness as a response to life in the "blink of AI".
Thanks @ferrarellim.bsky.social and Nohemí Lugo!
We're delighted to welcome @ojcollective.bsky.social to Bluesky. Take a look at their website www.openjournalscollective.org, which soft launches today.

From Germany, Romania, Spain, and Italy, exploring how future educators engage with AI and data —beyond "techno-myths" toward critical and constructive reflection.

Un recorrido alrededor de la "sospecha" tecnológica. De esa intuición de no repuesta a nuestras identidades y nuestras prácticas.
Nueve mitos Edtech y una reflexión metodologica: desde una conversación iniciada en el 2020.
Finally published :)
Go through this article to discover that this is not another celebration of quantification in educational research. Instead, we propose our critical interpretation about the way we look at the progress of learning analytics research.

Great piece from Civics of Technology about the "move fast and break things" techno ethos. No matter what it is to be broken (our souls, our planet, our future).
