"If universities don’t start asking harder questions about AI’s real value, they’ll keep spending money they don’t have on tools their students don’t need—while real educational challenges go unresolved."

🟨New Publication in #LMT 🟪 In this paper @ameliajohns.bsky.social, Harris, Booth, @gilbertcaluya.bsky.social & Walton show a gap between how #DigitalCitizenship is framed in Australian schools + how diaspora youth conceptualise it through the lens of their own needs. Read more tinyurl.com/2djwfbfm

Beyond risk: reducing the gap between diaspora youth digital
citizenship needs and school curricula
by Amelia Johns, Anita Harris, Emily Booth, Gilbert Caluya and Jessica Walton
ABSTRACT
Young people’s digital citizenship education has often been approached
from a risk perspective with less attention given to how young people use
digital technologies to positively engage with social issues and citizenship
practices. Diaspora youth are further stigmatised, being defined as ‘at-risk’
of greater harm from digital environments, which frames them as victims
or non-agentic. This article draws on qualitative research with diaspora
youth, as well as policymakers and educators, about their digital
citizenship education needs, practices and views. We explore their
perceptions of digital citizenship: as a concept and practice, and also its
place and framing within Australian school education. The findings
reflect a disconnect between diaspora youth and key stakeholders
regarding the purpose and benefits of digital citizenship education. This
illustrates a need for a more nuanced approach that takes diaspora
youths’ own experiences, needs and aspirations seriously in the design
of school curricula.

If any proposed edtech tool doesn't necessarily help us do things better, why do we always phrase ethical use of AI as a "why not" question when the people who support its use don't offer a compelling "why even"? More detailed thoughts here blogs.lse.ac.uk/highereducat...

Keir Starmer in the FT, offering up UK society as a testing ground to global companies: “we can go our own way, taking a distinctively British approach that will test AI long before we regulate” #STS’ idea that turning society into a laboratory is how science creates assets is now national strategy

Britain doesn’t need to walk a US or EU path on AI
