We talk a lot about why adolescent girls report more low mood and anxiety, and why this might be getting worse. But what do girls themselves think might explain this? As you might have guessed, we don’t really know. So, we asked them: doi.org/10.1186/s129... 1/8

This is bad news. Joan Donovan does insightful work... Misinformation expert says she was fired by Harvard under Meta pressure. #policysky #sociology #polisky #ethics

The office today. Feeling inspired to do some writing.

En utrolig trist utvikling for utdanningen. Jeg er lærer på et internasjonalt masterprogram hos NTNU som har i mange år nytta av perspektivene og erfaringene til studenter fra heile verden for å forberede dem på karrierer hvor som helst. Nå skal vi miste det.

Sliter med å være veldig uenig med Anne Holt her:

Attending a conference in a different discipline is like....

"Unfortunately, the ways evidence has been mobilised in the school mobile phone ban debate has turned children’s digital practices into a political football... “data” did not show that students’ “uptake” of mobile phones related to a “downturn” in their performance." blogs.lse.ac.uk/parenting4di...

Jeg er helt enig med Thomas Bråten Stangjordet "Poenget med internasjonale studenter er ikke å redde verden ved å åpne for et knippe studenter, men å øke kvaliteten på utdanningen." Viktig innlegg som må leses! khrono.no/kjaere-regje...

Private Edtech companies are being "granted access to all student data and then shielded from liability because they’re acting on behalf of government, which is frankly bonkers...This is big business, and the biggest losers are students". A must read article! www.law.virginia.edu/news/202309/...

A milestone report from UNESCO discusses the #edtechtragedy that unfolded during Covid school closures. It is important that we learn from what many called "a great edtech experiment" that included global school closures. I was honoured to comment on the draft version. www.unesco.org/en/digital-e...

Jeg er enige med Sten Ludvigsen som påpeker at "utdannings­institusjonene må bestemme seg for hvordan de skal forholde seg til og regulere den nye teknologien. Studentene blir satt i en situasjon som er helt umulig for dem å håndtere. For institusjonene er altfor uklare". khrono.no/mener-chatgp...

KrF med slagordet "Mindre nettbrett. Meir akebrett." Tror ikke de har forstått hvordan og hvorfor teknologi brukes i skolen.
