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.

Coaches, let's face it, creating content for teachers on a 1:1 scale is difficult and time consuming. But ... (hear me out) ... what if it doesn't have to be?

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.

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.

The graph showing AI-influenced language in Parliament is eye-opening. 👀 It highlights the duality of AI: it's a powerful tool for efficiency, but we must ensure it doesn't dilute authentic human thought and expression. #AI #Technology #Ethics

The more kids are invited to bike, walk and take public transit to school, the safer, healthier and smarter it is for EVERYONE. It’s shocking how much vehicle congestion in cities is actually “driven” by trips to and from schools. #BackToSchool #LetKidsBike #LetKidsWalk cartoon by Yehuda Moon
Cartoon about the amount of unsafe traffic “driven” by parents driving their kids because of safety concerns. We need both safer conditions and a different perspective about what’s safe.
