Facts! Educators can teach students to question why machines show certain outputs and critically evaluate both human and machine contributions.
Therefore critical literacy becomes a skill that includes navigating human machine networks.

Exactly! We can’t predict every new literacy or tech trend, but we can equip students with the mindset and skills to adapt. Fostering curiosity, critical thinking, & a willingness to experiment prepares learners to navigate and even shape the constantly changing digital landscape. #edu800fall25 #Leu

This reminds me that when teachers connect reading to students’ interests, students are more motivated to engage, explore texts deeply, and read more books. Interest drives buy-in, making critical thinking and literacy practices more meaningful and lasting. #edu800fall25 #Mills

Really insightful questions. We need to teach students to question why AI shows certain results, compare outputs, and recognize biases. There’s no “right” algorithm students need judgment and agency to evaluate and use machine-mediated information responsibly. #edu800fall25 #Leander

AI like Google Ads reduces complex humans to patterns, creating simplified and often inaccurate profiles. This makes the system both invasive and unreliable, as it assumes behaviors reflect identity, missing nuance and sometimes misrepresenting who we really are.
