"If your child is born this year, they are likely going to live through +1.5°C of warming by the time they are 25. A fact that is likely going to cause a 40% to 50% drop in the global food supply and a reduction of 2.5 to 4 billion in the global population by 2050, at a minimum." #wow

What percentage of students are you willing to falsely accuse of cheating with AI? There is a trade-off between false accusations and detection rates for AI. At a 10% false positive rate, detectors find 80% or less of AI content. At a 1% rate most find 60% or less. Don’t trust AI detectors!

"Finland aims to achieve the best financial literacy in the world by 2030, and projects such as Yrityskylä are a big part of the push...She added that 'learning by doing' or through gamification was vital in addition to more theoretical lessons." See: all the photos of kids *doing things*.

Today I introduced this in Parliament. It’s time the Big Tech giants were made to manage their algorithms to make our online experience safe, time we stopped asking users and parents to be the solution to social media harm. The operators of these platforms should step up. My Bill would achieve that.

Labor’s Social Media Ban for kids bill is a masterclass in incompetence. The bill tells social media companies to take ‘reasonable steps’ to determine age without ever defining what that means. That’s not governance, that’s a dereliction of duty. Look at some of this mess.👇

Let's stop using the word, "mistake" whenever kids get things wrong. Call them what they really are: Discoveries! Imagine what could happen if we sought out & celebrated these "discoveries" during learning instead of harping on mistakes. There's magic in mistakes! #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead
