I would welcome #advice on building a community on #Mastodon for our #educationalcharity. We support #Humanistschools in #Uganda. They are #inclusive schools based on #reason, #compassion and #tolerance. We support 2 #highschools and 7 #primaryschools. Schools welcome children of #allbeliefs - #religious and #secular. All are treated with #dignity and #respect and encouraged to #value the #opinions of others.
We have a website https://ugandahumanistschoolstrust.org and a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ugandahumanistschoolstrust/.

To every #parent, #educator, #techintegrator, and #schooladministrator of #primaryschools and #secondaryschools : I highly recommend the book “The Digital Delusion” by Jared Cooney Horvath. He takes off the rose tinted glasses on our views and hype of #educationaltechnology —how it has affected our children’s #cognitivedevelopment from #literacy to #CriticalThinking and what we can do about it moving forward https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jared-cooney-horvath_%F0%9D%97%A7%F0%9D%97%B5%F0%9D%97%B2-%F0%9D%97%97%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%97%B4%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%98%81%F0%9D%97%AE%F0%9D%97%B9-%F0%9D%97%97%F0%9D%97%B2%F0%9D%97%B9%F0%9D%98%82%F0%9D%98%80%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%97%BC%F0%9D%97%BB-is-activity-7403636159559434241-64JK

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 111: Lunch Box Identities

What is “Canadian food” and how does its interpretation affect our identity and sense of belonging—especially in primary and secondary schools?

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2350341/

This episode unpacks the packed lunch, in particular those that the kids of first-generation immigrants bring to school. Two articles from Canadian Food Studies are covered, both co-written by Yukari Seko, “Unboxing the bento box” (Vol. 8, No. 3) and “Feeding children while Asian” (Vol. 12, No. 2). And in response, PhD student Shay Quinn offers up several perspectives on meaning-making, involving research participants in research, and arts-informed methodologies.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 106: School Food Programs

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2210715/

With the creation of Canada’s National School Food Program, myriad questions, challenges, and opportunities arise. Student success, cultural identity, food provisioning, and economics are all at play. As Rachel Engler-Stringer tells us in this episode, ongoing research and reflection will be needed.

First, Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment reveals a number of lessons—some more useful than others—from Saskatchewan’s early 1900s school food planning. And in the After Taste, Penelope Stam responds to the focus article, “The case for a Canadian national school food program” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i3.260) from Vol. 5 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies.
