@balog68350 We need to ensure kids are still learning critical thinking skills… or no matter what AI they have we will have a peak future!

AERO advises AI should not be used in K-2, and then only sparingly. To me, IT and teachers need to work together to ensure AI, when used, supports education outcomes. IT works best when part of the conversation around education and online safety.

The Digital Duty of Care Bill gets one thing right: platforms should answer for keeping kids safe online. To me it is flawed in other areas, but its standard is one schools can use now. IT and teachers should hold every IT tool to it.

Victoria is banning smart glasses in every school from 2027. Policy draws the line, but daily practice holds it. IT and teachers together make a ban real: clear rules, managed devices, and kids who feel safe and ready to learn.

With AI we are entering an era where software companies need to add value beyond just providing an app. People will soon just create the app they need.

ArtCraft is a taste of it: 13 free, open source creative apps, each written from scratch in Rust.

@BasicAppleGuy Any chance for an ultra wide version?

My first and last pair of @hoka runners. 8 month old runners wore once or twice a week and failing. To also found out they only provide a 6 month warranty. Don’t think they are worth the cost!

@andrewjclare Why do we need to always compare phones.

You like a Pixel then you get a pixel. Want an iPhone you get an iPhone.

It's tough to study for a subject you have no interest in.

I get Marketing is important... but I just don't care about it... so doing Marketing Revision for an exam is really hard to stay focused.

@ParamountPlusAU get your act together on the Mariners game. Low quality, or black and frozen screens. Not sure why I pay for your service!

@MKBHD I’ve had this one. Flagged it as my content… started getting messages from them trying to guilt me.

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@BelongAU I know that. My question was when would you support it.

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@BelongAU… are you going to support Apple Watch mobile soon?

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@maccas… how do I get a refund these days. I was given a coffee today that had no coffee in it.

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

This looks totally real!

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@maccas … you staff need to learn to not tell me I didn’t get my coffee when I had been standing there since I ordered it.

Another worker had to make it as the first worker refused to admit I hadn’t taken it while I had been standing there the whole time.

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@ParamountPlusAU Only reason I pay for paramount is to watch the a league. And you can’t even get it working!

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@ParamountPlusAU It’s not working!

[David “eduitguy” Nichols @eduitguy]

@ParamountPlusAU fix your mariners stream! It won’t load!
