The What if We Get It Right Podcast shared the following website as an alternative for the Carbon Footprint (made by BP🤢). The Carbon Wave instead focuses on good actions we can take to promote a healthier climate. www.thecarbonwave.com/calculator @ayanaeliza.bsky.social @leahstokes.bsky.social

Make Your Carbon Wave — The Carbon Wave

Forget your carbon footprint. Find the actions that grow your carbon wave — and see how big it gets when people act together.

Ah well then

How do we improve our services? We act on what young people tell us. As a result, our hubs have become more accessible to the young people we work with. Read more about how we turned young people's feedback into action in Leeds: https://ow.ly/3tkb50ZILrn

I think it’s cool how “this toaster might electrocute you” or “these brakes don’t always work” is acceptable in consumer products because it’s software.

Giving Claude access to your inbox can be helpful, but don't give it too much power. Allowing the AI to send emails without your approval could create problems.

According to UNICEF's recent Children's Climate Risk Report, over a billion children are now facing at least three overlapping #climate hazards. Often, those at greatest risk live in places where critical services are already strained, making it that much harder for children to cope and recover.

Understanding Children's Climate Risks

Understanding who is affected most, and where, is an important step toward reducing these risks and protecting children's futures.

Here is a brilliant article - an extremely comprehensive and critical review of literature about the concept of agency in education - authored by our fabulous and very talented PhD student, Sophie Cathcart, supported by her doctoral superviusors. doi.org/10.1002/rev3...

Review of Education | BERA Educational Research Journal | Wiley Online Library

Agency is a concept that is increasingly prevalent in educational research, policy and practice at local, national and international levels. However, agency is frequently ambiguously defined and subj....

Arriving at #ECER26 and decided to go 'retro' by doing live Tweeting of a conference as we used to do in the 2010's... so if you are interested in: - Education - Educational Research - Curriculum Studies - Pedagogy - Children's rights - Childhood studies You are more than welcome to tag along!

Really looking forward to presenting on 'Craft My Street' and how games, in particular digital games, can enable meaningful children's right to participate in climate decision-making part of the symposium at #ECER26 'Realising Children's Rights to Sustainability' @ecer-eera.bsky.social #ChildRights

The #SustainableED team's first publication is out in @pnas.org. We document the scale of potential pollutant & carcinogen exposure across US K12 schools. 8% of all schools are within a few blocks of EPA registered hazard sites. Exposure risk is highly inequitable. 🧵

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

This is a well-written argument against AI in classrooms, especially for younger kids.

‘I hate what AI is doing to the minds and happiness of the young’: Katherine Rundell on the view from the classroom

Education is at a crossroads, argues the author and academic. Should we embrace new technology in the name of efficiency, or is it time to fight back?

If you have so much work to do that you feel you need AI in order to get it all done: you don't. You need a union.

We’re launching a major new programme on Humanity, Climate and Nature. We wish to commission discussion papers from researchers/policymakers/practitioners to provide fresh insight into these themes. We’ll pay £2,500 for around 4000 words. Apply by 16 Sept www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/internationa...

This is a very serious problem for libraries, archives, and knowledge-keepers of all kinds. If you don’t control access to your collections, *you do not have collections.* If we do not have permanent access to records, stories, & sources of knowledge then our histories and memories are not our own.

"In 2022, Wiley removed over 1,300 ebooks from academic library collections; [they said] perpetual access is not an option for subscribed content. In 2025, Clarivate,... announced they would stop offering libraries perpetual access licenses for ebooks and primary-source digital collections."

Such a powerful and breathtaking story of pain, collective action and resilience. This book has brought back to me the idea of bringing literature & #HumanRightsEducation together in the #SustainableFutures classroom. I really want my students to read Kusum's words. #HumanRights #EduSky #VARiE

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
