We're looking for historians and history teachers in Canada to share their beliefs about history and presentism. If you're interested in participating in this study, please click the following link: ualbertauw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Enseignante depuis quatre ans, Joanna Alphonso enseigne l’histoire du Canada, les études afro-canadiennes, les études micmaques et le droit à des élèves de la 10e à la 12e année. Pour en savoir plus sur l'expérience de Joanna, consultez le site thinking-historically.ca/fr/joanna-al...

Ottawa folks (and those able to join remotely), don’t miss this special lecture and conversation!

#FooknConversationEP61 with Dr. Garry Gottfriedson and Dr. Victoria Handford. We discussed their new edited collection Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope: Academic Action on Truth and Reconciliation. tinyurl.com/mrxhvurv Check out their new book here tinyurl.com/d84yjcss. @uottawaedu.bsky.social

#FookConversationEP60 we discussed the political and economic mobilization of young men via social media, censorship, freedom of speech, backlash against universities, academic freedom, facilitating debates and pluriverse perspectives in the classroom. @uottawaedu.bsky.social @uottawa.bsky.social

"Shifts in the education data and the technology landscape — along with the imminent changes to immigration enforcement polices ...— should compel schools to look at their rights and responsibilities when it comes to protecting students’ data and their civil rights."

I wouldn't much trust either AI or McKinsey to do my research, curriculum planning, or admin, and I certainly wouldn't trust McKinsey's own AI app in higher education - but then of course they're pretty much the same thing anyway, as Ted Chiang argued a while back www.newyorker.com/science/anna...

The UK AI plan was announced only this week, but it was already being pre-empted in education. English schools are getting locked-in to AI and automation by "turbocharged" fast policy processes, prototypes, and test-bed experiments codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2025/01/17/p...

‪#FooknConversationEP58 is out! Dr. Lisa Korteweg and Tesa Fiddler work as educational researchers, teacher educators, and friends in Thunder Bay, on the traditional territory of the Fort Williams First Nations-Anemki Wajiw (signatory to the 1850 Robinson-Superior treaty). 👉🏽 tinyurl.com/htd9j3yf

Attention Canadian K-12 social studies & history teachers. The Treaty Map includes every Canadian treaty from 1763-present, & challenges the commonly held view of treaties as land surrenders. Includes an interactive learning & teaching tool, grounded in Indigenous perspectives of treaties.

Disappointing that our generation, X, political leaders, are caught up in name calling, blaming others for extractive and transactional forms of accountability, and fear of envisioning the bold transformational structural intergenerational changes that are necessary beyond an election cycle.

Presence in learning is not the same as being present at school. My article with Dennis Shirley is now available www.andyhargreaves.com/uploads/5/2/... @stevemunby.bsky.social @agavrielatos.bsky.social @pasisahlberg.bsky.social @catrplace.bsky.social @jacquespx.bsky.social @intlednews.bsky.social

Most edtech sold to schools is not supported by evidence. Now, a new edtech evidence industry promises to address this gap to support schools. For our new article, we studied how "edtech brokers" make evidence and how they are becoming "edtech knowledge governors" doi.org/10.1080/1476...

"The education ministry said AI courses should be launched 'systematically' and included as a factor when evaluating schools." The geopolitics of AI in education and its implications for schools should probably get more attention www.scmp.com/news/china/p...

Parks Canada removed the bronze plaques of seven controversial historical persons. www.canadashistory.ca/explore/poli... Excellent potential for teaching about #historicalthinking, including ethical judgment, historical significance, and interpretations and evidence.

Looks like one province is going to ban the public purchasing of gifts, exchanges, and celebrations leading up and during Christmas. Wondering if the public school curriculum reforms will also take such religious celebrations into account, notwithstanding. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today, we remember the 14 women murdered on December 6, 1989, in the Montreal Massacre at École Polytechnique. Their lives were stolen by misogyny, but their names and stories remain with us. They will never be forgotten.

"This manifesto emphasizes that GenAI is not ideologically and culturally neutral. ... as the use of GenAI reshapes education, it risks eroding essential human elements—creativity, critical thinking, and empathy—and could displace meaningful human interactions with algorithmic solutions."
