@catherinepe28 @bonstewart This is so interesting to think about! Were you talking about purchasing a Burts Bees Chapstick? It is crazy how fast devices are capturing this data, and suggesting ads to you.

@bonstewart How does one remain private on the web? Are they selling our data? #unboundeq

@samantha_godden @bonstewart I think it is about bringing awareness in the classroom, in regards to the fact that algorithms are not necessarily created to haunt us; however, they are working to assure that technology is present and accommodating to each individual behind the screen. #unboundeq

@bonstewart Show videos, and engage in class discussions. #unboundeq

@bonstewart Some ideas could be:
-Having students define algorithms and algorithms bias!
- Provide examples of algorithms bias that are present in their current lives.
-Students can explore the difference between someone's actual identity and their perceived identity on social. #unboundeq

@bonstewart What if such tools are biased against students of colour, or students with special needs? How would educators, parents, and students even know? I think it is important to be aware of what teaching platforms we are using in classrooms! #unboundeq

Equity is "fairness and justice in the way people are treated". This reminds me of the photo of three kids standing on three different blocks. All three individuals are different heights, and the way the blocks were set up were not designed for equality.

@bonstewart Q2 -#unboundeq
In terms of "fairness", I believe our generation focalizes on what is un-fair rather than forming suggestions on how all individuals can remain equal and fair. What injustices exist in our society? And how can we fix them?

[Jessica Beaulieu @Jessica64328424]

@bonstewart #unboundeq In a way, I think it's scary how technology traces our voices and search engines, however, it is kind of convenient and innovative. Rather than watching an ad that has no particular interest to me, I can see something more personalized to my life.

@bonstewart Another scenario is when I was recently planning a trip to British Columbia this march break, I continuously receive suggestions regarding diverse airlines and hotels offering me the "best prices". #unboundeq
