Social media is a megaphone for the loudest 5% on the extremes, while the "exhausted majority" stays silent to avoid the heat. 📣 We think we’re more divided than we actually are because the algorithm rewards the shout, not the conversation. #EM203KathleenClarke #DigitalDemocracy

The algorithm knows your politics better than your neighbors do. That’s a problem. 🚩

Let’s stop scrolling for confirmation and start searching for connection. 🤝 #EM203KathleenClarke #SocialMediaDesign

Working on a project for #EM203! @CivilGovernment , how can we use 21st-century digital tools to build community instead of further polarizing it?

[Tal Perry @EM203TPerry]

Algorithms aren't designed to show us the truth; they're designed to show us ourselves. When our digital world becomes a mirror, we lose the ability to see the "other side," fueling the polarization that stalls global progress.

Solving global problems requires us to step across the line. This infographic highlights the path from polarization to collaboration: Listen, Empathize, and Solve.

We can’t solve global problems if we’re stuck in echo chambers. Braver Angels provides real tools and workshops to help us move past "us vs. them" and start building common ground.

Hard to solve global problems when the person at the podium is busy adding fuel to the fire. #EM203KathleenClarke

State of the Union: Obama vs. Trump

[Tal Perry @EM203TPerry]

Digital algorithms often prioritize engagement over truth, trapping us in echo chambers that fuel political polarization. This division prevents global collaboration and stalls real-world problem-solving. #EM203KathleenClarke #EM203KathleenClarkeProblem

@EM203BLewis Many students with learning disabilities in low-income schools struggle to get proper diagnosis and classroom support due to limited resources and stigma, leading to exclusion and weaker learning outcomes. #EM203problems

@EM203AliciaS Agreed, and I do think that highlighting the diversity in how people learn is important.

[Tal Perry @EM203TPerry]

@EM203Kathryn Agreed, the discussion aspect adds an interactive layer to the course.

[Tal Perry @EM203TPerry]

@AntonioPerri24 We seem to be on the same page, Antonio. It’s interesting to see habits that I already put in practice subconsciously expressed conceptually.

[Tal Perry @EM203TPerry]

@EM203Tran Agree completely, that word recall really had me rethinking how good my memory was. Great exercise overall.

@em203adrien Involving your roommates is a great way to learn! Personally I did the sudoku task, so completed it individually.

After the first three lessons, I have learned the impact of digital tools and their implications on learning in the digital age. I was particularly intrigued by the notion of cognitive overload when multitasking. #EM203KathleenClarke
