The second of the new educational challenges is digital education. Educate yourselves on how to humanize digital spaces, making them into areas of fraternity and creativity, not cages to trap yourselves in. Don’t let the algorithm write your story! Be the authors: use technology wisely, but don’t let technology use you.
