De la vocation à l’abandon : les chiffres derrière la crise du métier d’enseignant

"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" UL's Dr Ann Marcus-Quinn on the need for clarity around school AI policies: www.independent.ie/opinion/comm... #AI

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

This is so important: educating rather than banning. #DigitalLiteracy
