Looking at my own kids' school work I do not think digital learning is better than textbooks and copybooks. Quite the opposite. It is all so fragmented and non-linear that I can't see how it benefits students.

A beautifully written case for why physical textbooks are so much better for learning than the online distractions that have replaced them.

reading this Uta Frith interview in TES. It's so important on the expansion of autism diagnoses to include almost anyone, many of whom would be better described as having social anxiety. This bit in particular on masking seems really insightful tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

Universities are meant to model openness and critical thinking. Yet many academics remain silent about injustice within their own institutions. This new article from ecrLife examines two entrenched mechanisms that may be helping sustain that culture.

Good God. Please make it stop. Literally revising works of art to bring them into line with our modern sensibilities. Did we even agree what those sensibilities are? The rolling stones and holy bible better watch out.

Penguin has announced major revisions to a new edition of George Orwell's '1984'.
'The novel requires updating, in line with progressive sensibilities', said a consultant for 'Anti-Exclusionary Minds', a group engaged by Penguin to moderate Orwell's critique of totalitarianism.

This is good to see. TDs unashamedly refuse to answer questions from one press outlet so the other journalists refuse to ask them any further questions and close the press conference down. Proper order.

"I THINK WE'RE DONE": Today journalists in the Leinster House press pool slammed People Before Profit TDs Ruth Coppinger and Paul Murphy for refusing to take a question from Gript's @Ben_Scallan, and ended the press event early in protest:

Timely opinion piece on academic freedom/compelled speech since we are all also talking about Trump targetting research programmes, Irish and other campus protests etc.

University presidents need to make hard decisions in the near future and I don’t envy them..but I agree with this article (free link below). Still waiting for a coordinated effort to push back by all universities.
