Okay think I have slid into an alternate universe. As well as the drinking the train is now full of young people in tweed jackets and hats.

#altc25 Describe your feelings about AI

Not surprising inconsistency comes up as a barrier to accessing information and learning. #altc25

According to Marc Prensky's work, "digital natives" are those born after 1980. So you can be 45 and classed as a digital native. I suspect most people in this room were born after 1980, so isn’t it a defunct and unhelpful phrase? #altc25

Our afternoon keynote is a student panel- Beyond the Myth of the Digital Native #ALTc25
