A must-read report for anyone working with, teaching, or raising young children. Short version: If you're thinking of purchasing an AI toy for a child this holiday season, DON'T. There are no educational benefits, lots of dangers, and they create extra work for conscientious adults. #EduSky #EdTech

This stat would make an awesome discussion prompt for upper elementary and middle school students. Let's stop telling them what they think and model critical thinking by asking them what they think and what their evidence is!

For #MediaLiteracy / #NewsLiteracy educators, the task isn't to have students discuss the deception, it's: Would your students be able to do what the reporters on this story did to assess the credibility of the images?
DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

It is worth noting that according to even the most conservative estimates, there was no violence and fewer than 50 arrests (less than .001%) of the 5-7million No Kings protestors on Saturday. That includes a woman accused of lewdness for her penis costume holding a sign that said, "No Dick Tators."
