At the end of a term it always seems relevant to reflect on what you're learning, how you're learning, and why you're learning... @ThisAmerLife episode 538: "Is This Working?" https://t.co/hqREzFdRL8

Shout out to the classmate who lent me a pencil for the exam this morning! It's little gestures of community like that that i miss in online courses.

[Sofia @zosialala]

@RosieStagnaro @lauricella_d not very encouraging... does this mean our grade is based entirely on quantity and ignores the quality of our tweets?

[Sofia @zosialala]

If anyone is interested in digging deeper into coded bias and the role design and narratives (disney!) have in shaping the world here is a project i worked on which focuses on @wikipedia https://t.co/SdTKUb4pvW

[Sofia @zosialala]

Anyone else interested in Seymour Papert? "Children should be programming the computer rather than being programmed by it... And yet to this day, there is still a great gap between paradigms: Is the machine driving the child or vice versa?" https://t.co/aTTJfa5h3l

@mbk_laetitia @Maysterling7 Searched the web and only found a definition for stakeholders (what @mbk_laetitia posted). In the lesson it is not defined but i feel like the "agency" part is about actions the different stakeholders can take in order to ensure their best interests are met. @msn_concordia ?

@BlueJayMatthew it says i tweeted 37 times... but twitter says 97! bug in the system?

[Sofia @zosialala]

@dhandev_patel @nishapatel_conu This is the question i keep getting stuck on! We keep talking about teaching students to become responsible, engaged citizens on and offline, but who teaches the teachers? Where do we find adults who have strong ethics and tech knowledge but aren't bias? #ImmaculateConception

"We're writing these things that we can no longer read. And we've rendered something illegible, and we've lost the sense of what's actually happening in this world that we've made."

#lesson13 & #lesson10 combo: "Could the stereotype that women are less “handy” be accidentally designed into the very tools of the trade, extending bias to a functional level and creating a damaging feedback loop?" #universaldesign https://t.co/P7QakEtgOc

[Sofia @zosialala]

tweetin' myself because it seems like i jumped the gun posting this in lesson 2. Technology is never neutral, shape it or it will shape you... #lesson13 https://t.co/tbHrdr0wA4

[Sofia @zosialala]

Create your own tools, actively shape the digital landscape, learn to code #EDUC307 @lesson2 @technology #design

[Sofia @zosialala]

@educ307evan Why you picking on @Wikipedia? They also rely on multiple sources and citation, not to mention are working to incorporate multiple points of view. I would never rely on it completely, but i would probably say that about most sources. In the mean time... https://t.co/tSFGQ2mcM9

[Sofia @zosialala]

Children need to be taught how to read information critically and evaluate sources as reliable. The age of memorize and regurgitate is over, now it's all about analyze and filter #lesson12

[Sofia @zosialala]

The global connection accorded to us via social media gives us an opportunity to see the world through the eyes of others - hopefully this will reduce alterity and increase empathy. #lesson12

[Sofia @zosialala]

Loving this analogy, something to consider in arguments on free speech

[Sofia @zosialala]

@petrichor_4 There are so many reasons victims don't report, and yet you still hear so many people say "if something really did happen, why didn't she go to he police?"
This article is so awful but will hopefully make people understand the stakes.

[Sofia @zosialala]

@BriannaBlacklo2 Same here. It's amazing how quickly these situations makes us uncomfortable when placed in real world context, but when its an animation we not only accept the plot but romanticize it! #FiltersOn #CriticalThinking

[Sofia @zosialala]

@tayarcher94 @Disney I certainly don't expect them to do it alone, just pointing out that since Disney targets children specifically and have made an empire out of capturing their attention they could be a little more carefully about the narratives they're spinning.

[Sofia @zosialala]

Think of the lessons @Disney could be teaching with it's platform and how it portrays people instead. I think people underestimate how much children understand. #ManufacturedInnocence #YourCoverIsBlown

[Sofia @zosialala]

Disney is going to sell narratives that serve its interests. It is a profit driven company and has never held back from interfering with the public in order to further its goals #lesson11 https://t.co/QZmGR63C0l
