@MissLozinski @bonstewart I agree, but it's so difficult to regulate. I think the best thing we can do at this point is make people aware of strategies to identify false information, and hopefully companies like Facebook and Google can step up and put more safeguards in place. #unboundeq

@msashleyspina @MissLaursull @polsinem @samantha_godden @bonstewart I had no idea it kept this information readily available. I was always creeped out by the Snapchat map; there's something even creepier, for me at least, about people you know knowing exactly where you are #unboundeq

@msashleyspina @LucasLavoie10 You're right, Google must be tired of hearing me yell "Oscar, what are you eating?!" twenty times a day 😂#unboundeq

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

@MissFancyU @bonstewart I totally agree, and a lot of times people don't have the ability to assess their own bias. Maybe we can first teach leaders to check their biases, and then move on to avoiding bias in general. #unboundeq

@GibbyReznor @bonstewart @UnboundEq Unless that's just what "they" want you to think? Uh oh... oh well, we're probably fine! #unboundeq

@MissLozinski @bonstewart I definitely think incognito mode can help us protect our privacy, but if you read the new disclaimer when you go to incognito mode, Google tells us "Your activity might still be visible to other websites, your employer, etc." #unboundeq

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

@msashleyspina @bonstewart I agree, I always think of AI as a kind of neutral force, something that doesn't really care about us, but a lot of its biases reflect our own, and we need to be aware of that #unboundeq

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

@NanBot3 @bonstewart You're right, I think exposure is definitely important. We could also show them some of the "deep fakes" we've talked about in class so that they can see just how credible these fakes can look. #unboundeq

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

@GibbyReznor @bonstewart @UnboundEq I never considered this before you mentioned it, but you're totally right! I think even buying gifts for your significant other or a family member can make your algorithms go wonky - especially when they're interested in something you aren't. #unboundeq

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

@samantha_godden @bonstewart Similar to this, Google knows when my work shift is over and sends me information on traffic and how long it will take me to get home; it gets really annoying, especially when I have to work late and Google is trying to tell me I can go home #unboundeq

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

@bonstewart Q1. I was thinking a couple weeks ago that I still needed to watch the new season of Black Mirror. I never said anything out loud, but when I opened Facebook later that day there was an advertisement for Black Mirror posters. #unboundeq #creepy

16. Above all, Hinck believes that students need to take agency; they need to see themselves as makers, creators, and speakers who have something valuable to share. #UWinDig

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

1. The creative licence of students is being taken away, and Ashley Hinck tells us all about it in her article: https://t.co/ubAGUHPsAI
Hinck refers to the "template/shortcut platforms" that are dampening creativity in the classroom. #UWinDig

[Emily D @EmLAFormat5]

15. Acknowledge the fear and excitement that comes with the creative process. Creating a technology from scratch can be scary, but it is your job to offer support and encourage problem-solving. #UWinDig
