There are going to be some very hot children this week 😬
I wrote a document the other day and spotted a typo that I left in to prove that it had been written by me and not AI. And now I think I might be losing my mind.
This is my very lovely colleague, Clair Draper.
Meanwhile, Tony Blair...
My kid learned to play the guitar from You Tube. There’s a lot of educational stuff on there regularly used by schools - ‘how to’ tutorials, science demos, documentaries, grammar and pronunciation of languages…Seems mad to ban rather than regulate.
Blown away by Guy Claxton and Emily Poel's book "Bodies of Learning: How Embodiment Science Transforms Education." It presents to us an overwhelming body of research to argue that we must overhaul education systems in order for learners to thrive. Moving, feeling, doing...all critical to learning.
'Cycling Through Water' goes through a pond in Limburg where you walk or cycle at head height to the water and it's lovely. There are loads of quirky sculptures in the middle of fields or unusual cycling/walking paths in Belgium. The govt realise that art and nature are essential to human wellbeing.
Exactly.
Wanna do something about harmful social media?
Change the law so the platform's owners are classed as publishers, and become responsible for harmful / unlawful / slanderous/ offensive content. Same standards you'd apply to any print publisher.
And enforce it with hefty fines.
Our 15 yo learned Japanese on YouTube during the covid lockdowns, got a GCSE in Japanese, passed JLPT level 2 and got into university to study it. Mind you, our kids knew what a VPN was early on too. Ridiculous to infantilise teenagers like this imo.

Prohibition has never worked. We already know that very high numbers of under 16s in Australia continue to access social media notwithstanding the 'ban'. The same will happen in the UK. All a ban does is given the impression of having 'done something' while ignoring the actual issues.
