How many years post-pandemic are we going to accept “unusually high call volume” as a valid excuse?

If it’s been the standard for four years, it’s not "unusual"—it’s just your new (bad) service model. A 1-week response time is the new normal. 🙄

In Sweden, we traditionally celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. 🎀🎄

Merry Christmas! 😊

High-angle view of a family or group sharing a meal in a modern kitchen. The table is crowded with dishes including bowls of salad, jars of pickles, deviled eggs, meatballs, and sausages. A man with a beard and glasses is in the lower right foreground, focusing on his plate. The background shows a bright, clean kitchen with large windows and potted plants.

This was inspired by Frank's post where he showcased the new image generation in ChatGPT. I got kind of close, but not exactly.

This was a fun experiment, to write the prompt for this for Nano Banana 🍌

A handcrafted needle-felted figure of a man with short brown hair, a salt-and-pepper beard, and thin wire glasses. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a pink square on the chest and blue pants. The figure is sitting on a wooden floor in a brightly lit room, positioned in front of a Monstera plant and a wooden easel holding an abstract painting.

A common problem with learning, whether through apps or other methods, is the emphasis on completing tasks rather than providing ongoing formative feedback.

One New Year's resolution for me would be to use algorithmic social media much less. #BlueSky

It’s time we address the "engagement at any cost" model. 🛑 Algorithms prioritizing rage-bait and clicks over user safety are failing us. When a platform curates your reality, they must take responsibility for the outcome. We need tech that protects, not just provokes. #TechEthics #SocialMedia

Why are individual social media users solely accountable for crimes like hate speech, threats, and illegal trafficking, while the platform that profits from hosting and enabling this content is not?

Google Tasks doesn't remind me about incomplete tasks the next day, which is frustrating since I need an app that supports my memory more effectively.

Recently I had lunch in an ordinary Swedish school cafeteria. Look at this vegan option (sausage/meatballs) with rice and salad! Lunches are free for all students up to 18, and as staff, we pay a small fee to eat together with them.

#Sweden #food #school #cafeteria #EduSky #affordable
A plate of food from a school cafeteria. The center of the plate is covered with rice and vegan 'meatballs' (or vegan sausage) served in a creamy, orange-colored sauce. The side dishes consist of a salad mix including shredded white cabbage, broccoli, and thinly sliced red onion. A small dollop of what looks like a yellowish-brown, crumbly paste (possibly a chutney or spicy topping) is also on the plate. A fork is on the left, a knife on the right, and a glass of water stands behind the plate on a light orange-brown table.

Choose your own (research) adventure.
My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
A choose-your-own-adventure, cartoon composed of nine, numbered panels. Panel 1 reads: What do you want to research? Free will, go to 8. Telepathic Twins, Go to 2. New flavours of ice cream, go to 3. Playing chess with robots, go to 5. Commuter jetpacks, go to 4. However, whatever you chose you will eventually be forced to choose 'Free Will' and end up at panel 9, which reads: Your paper is rapturously received and you are rewarded with a huge grant! Go to 1.

GenAI is reshaping higher ed assessment, but stop looking for a "solution." Findings show it’s a wicked problem—it can't be solved, only managed. 🤯 This fundamentally shifts how we approach policy & design.

This is an important reform and is sadly very criticized.

💧 A lot of people seem to be unhappy with the EU directive on tethered bottle caps. 🙁

We love it! 😃

It’s a simple fix for a serious problem.
#MarinePollution kills millions of animals every year, and 80% of marine pollution originates from the land.
#ESD #Sustainability #GreenSky #EduSky
Why those bottle caps are a good idea! AN EU DIRECTIVE WAS ENACTED IN JULY 2024, REQUIRING THAT ALL SINGLE-USE BOTTLES HAVE CAPS THAT REMAIN ATTACHED. • In 2023, plastic bottle lids were among the top ten litter items found in rivers and the ocean. • In the UK, 2023 beach surveys listed bottle lids as the third most common type of litter • On the Dutch North Sea coastline, surveys recorded up to 128 bottle caps for each kilometer of beach in 2016. • Bottle caps are also one of the most common items consumed by marine animals. Made with a more buoyant type of plastic, bottle caps also travel further across oceans than the bottles. The tether creates one item of litter, not two, that is easier to pick up and less likely to be eaten.

This is a very important issue for schools to tackle in the short term.

However, this aspect on the double edged sword that technological advances poses in general and AI in particular, is not exclusive to schools.

“AI is not invited into schools through a process of adoption, like buying a desktop computer or smartboard—it crashes the party and then starts rearranging the furniture. That means schools have to do something. Teachers feel this urgently.” #AI #AcademicSky #EduSky

Feeling kind of disheartened now that I realize that my fifth-grade daughter's teacher doesn't check her math book. So she's been counting and getting the wrong answers for at least weeks now.

We have to step up as parents now.

Labels flatten learners.
Evidence reveals them.

Tiny shift: less labeling, more listening, noticing, and responding.

We kickstart our day with friendly greetings at the door as a reminder that we all belong here. 2: Conversations that count, with speech bubbles. We have casual, non-academic group conversations to help build long-lasting connections. 3: Refresh and reset, with an illustration of a brain. We make space for brain breaks throughout the day to boost our creativity and energy. 4: Ready, set, play! with illustration of someone stretching. We make movement and play a priority as they are essential to our learning!

My main language and my native language is Swedish. When I bought the Pixel 10, I used it as I usually do. I follow news, social media, and take photos.

But when I switched to English, there's a whole world of built-in AI to help me write and work! 😍😲

For some reason, I struggle with following a series. I read almost every day, mainly audiobooks, but as soon as there's a sequel, I'm usually drawn to something else and forget about the first one.
