Die Grundlage für die Diskussion um den Unterschied von Festigkeit, Verständnis und Transfer; Simon war eine meiner zentralen Anregungen, wenn’s darum ging, über Simulationen #Games zu schreiben / zu entwickeln.

When people talk about "AI in education" what do they mean? A family of technologies? Or do they mean their own concerns and interests? A new post about the social construction of AI in education and why power over definitions matter codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2026/01/16/c...

"For three years now, we’ve heard arguments about making education and work more purposeful, more meaningful, so students and employees don’t simply offload their thinking to a machine. I’ve made such arguments many times, but I’m also beginning to see how far removed from reality this is."

After seeing the US invade Venezuela, I knew I had to take an episode to break down why digital sovereignty is even more essential.

But also how working to get off US tech myself has led me to question whether I really need all this tech in the first place.
Tech Won’t Save Us is back from a holiday break — and that means it’s time to set the stage for the year ahead!

This week @parismarx.com lays out his big focuses for this year: digital sovereignty and rethinking the tech we personally depend on.

Also: This makes hosting GMail more expensive so Google will have to make more money off of it. Since most people are not paying that means more ads and more selling of the data.
Google is forcing more generative AI on Gmail users. I couldn’t think of a better moment to finally drop Gmail (and other Google services)!

Daniel Günther (CDU) hat Selbstverständlichkeiten ausgesprochen:

- unabhängig von US-Big Tech werden & Minderjährige schützen
- ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren ist überfällig
- Hetzportale wie Nius sind Gegner unserer Demokratie

Dafür wird er von Bild & Co angegriffen - das zeigt, wo Springer steht.

Schriftlich Dividieren: „Die Abschaffung ist richtig“
In Niedersachsen lernen Grundschüler nicht mehr, schriftlich zu dividieren. Geht damit eine Grundkompetenz verloren? Pädagogen widersprechen.

Still rings true, now even more so
Sometimes I think the most fundamental political difference might be between those who identify with power, who admire power and enjoy others living in fear of it, and those who identify with the powerless and long for a world in which nobody has to fear power

Great conversation, esp. for educators

What kind of cognitive dissonance is required to block out the sticky ethics & dark underbelly of the tech we engage with (exploited labour, extractivism, unsustainable water use)?

What do we do about the discourse of inevitability around AI?👇

The fight against fascism is also a fight for a shared sense of reality. We see demagogues twisting the facts and blatantly lying, while legacy media are keen to present every story as a matter of conflicting interpretations. With social media drowning in #AIslop, this is only going to get worse
