Everyone seems to have an opinion on #chatgpt so no point adding to the noise with more of the same. Hence a different take on AI in Education in this speculative fiction and postscript from the grave to follow… https://markbrown.blog/2023/02/01/looking-back-to-the-future-doublethink-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence-part-1/ #highered #highereducation #DigitalEd #digitallearning #educationfutures

This is the first in a series of four blog posts that share two unique and very personal speculative fiction on education futures in the new age of Artificial Intelligence... https://markbrown.blog/2023/02/01/looking-back-to-the-future-doublethink-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence-part-1/ #highered #highereducaton #digitaleducation #educationfutures

This is a really good (and open access!) paper on futures-oriented methods in education from Cerratto-Pargman, Lindberg and Buch - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42438-022-00349-6 - I especially appreciate the distinction they make between representational and futures-oriented methods. #EducationFutures #PostdigitalScienceEducation #EdTechodon

There is nothing more crucial than literacy for an equitable society & that means enough resources & well staffed schools where allocated resources are used properly … An illiterate population has no way to fight for their rights, keep steady jobs with reasonable pay & sustainable work conditions. Be independent knowledgeable persons
Real, live, well trained teachers and well staffed schools matter. To us all everywhere & our future together

there are weights on their own little rack *in* my hotel room, with a sign inviting me to "stay empowered"... 💪??? I'm happy to be in Sweden though and really looking forward to the workshop I'll be part of at Jönköping University - "Storytelling as method and approach to engage with future(s) of educational data-driven practices in the Nordic Countries" #EdTechodon #EducationFutures #Travel

My book about speculative methods and pedagogies for digital learning futures will be published next week, on 8 November. It brings together a decade of research and teaching to explore ways of working creatively with the uncertainty of the future. It’s been a really great experience writing and publishing it, and I hope it’s useful for other researchers and teachers doing #EducationFutures work. https://routledge.pub/Digital-Futures-for-Learning
