"Teachers were very frustrated, as the department was not telling them how to use AI – only telling them how to cite it. This was effectively putting the cart before the horse"

Australian politicians think that they can ban all young people under 16 from using social media … I talked to Dr. Clare Southerton about what this ban might look like in practice, the mis-use of research to support it, and its implications for tech use in schools: www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...
Fascinating thread on the environmental impact of #AI and digital technology. Education & reasonable use are the key. #DigitalCitizenship Thanks @joedale.bsky.social
See you soon
This is so important: educating rather than banning. #DigitalLiteracy
