Such an impt pt: We need to equip people with "practices (skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits of mind) that allow them to exert agency over technology." This aligns with John's comment on the pod that adults who use genAI well already have critical thinking along w relevant knowledge.
John Warner@biblioracle.bsky.social · 2y agoThe best we can do, IMO, is to equip young people with practices (skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits of mind) that allow them to exert agency over the technology. This is true of all tech. Years ago when I was first battling the distraction of smart phones, I used to do an exercise with students..
This is the 1st time, as far as I can gather from my own research, that the CESCR has raised the issue of children in care from families in poverty in relation to any country. The UK Gov admitted failure, and that it has to change. It's something to hold them to account in the future. #CESCR2025 🇬🇧
Koldo Casla@koldocasla.bsky.social · 2y agoIn response to the UN CESCR, the Government acknowledges that too many children in poverty are taken away from their families. They commit to working towards ensuring that children stay with their families, including via kinship care. #CESCR2025 🇬🇧 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k16...
