This winter I taught a new course entitled "Politics of Digital Technologies" and we had tons of fun discussing a range of digital policy issues. I'm making the syllabus & reading list open access, hope it's helpful for your own teaching or learning! Materials here: www.blairaf.com/resources/

You should do an explainer article on how the deficit levels got to these numbers. I consider myself a news-aware human and I dont really see where the money isnt coming in like it used to and where the deficits are being spent (compared to the surplus years under Horgan)

would you ever work with a highschool teacher to provide students short term opportunities to contribute so they can get a little resume/experience on their resume? Asking for a teacher (I am the teacher) Not sure what that looks like but it might be something that could be helpful to both

Hi Mark, curious if yourlve written about a potential social media regulation framework or have thoughts about how best to step back and re evaluate these platforms and tools and set up a rigorous rule set to support a healthier online media system (if that moment ever happens)

Transparency is the number 1 starting point. If you won't be open with its use there is probably a reason. Agreed on this completely

I've had very good conversations posing these dilemmas to teacher candidates. There is different lines for different folks. Reference letters is a great one. Lots say yes to writing references with it until I ask if they would want their principal to do their reference with it for a dream job..
