I am hopeful we can return to a time where computers are treated as devices that extend our skills and thinking, rather than used to extract rent. The majority of my students can’t even remember a world where this was the case.

"Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people—they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress." -Paulo Freire

Teachers and students alike fall victim to this trap. Writing is thought in its tangible form. This one conviction may be the only thing keeping education alive today, and we need to do our part as teachers to showcase this throughout our curriculum.

Student jouralists in Minneapolis documenting ICE raids in their community like this are the most authentic demonstration for why writing still matters. Show your students and empower them!

Profoundly mature take from 7th grader Micha on EdTech (and some FOSS alternatives) that points toward the need for schools to own their tech, not just rent it.

It doesn’t look like this includes “sales” from services like Kindle Unlimited or library checkouts like Libby in the US. I wonder how those would affect these stats in terms of what method readers interact with text

Great quick read to send out before a meeting. Learning Styles is something that I still see permeate the education space to the ultimate detriment of students and lesson design

Such a racket. No one in their right mind would buy these books in an online shop. Getting libraries to foot the cost if someone is duped into checking it out is next-level disgusting.
