#KI prägt zunehmend unsere Arbeitswelt, unsere Bildungslandschaften & unsere gesellschaftlichen Entscheidungsprozesse – mit weitreichenden Auswirkungen auch auf die Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen. Die 23. BilRess-Netzwerkkonferenz am 24. September widmet sich daher der Frage:
Wie kann KI zur ökologisch verantwortungsvollen Nutzung von natürlichen Ressourcen beitragen – und welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich daraus für Bildungsprozesse?

Our team is working around the clock on a huge slate of new releases coming to you this fall. We are so excited about the new films and teaching resources we'll be sharing starting in August!

If you care about indie film, documentaries, family films, kid-friendly films, ed tech, education, homeschooling, community activism, or social justice issues (did we miss anything?), the best way to stay in the loop with new releases is to sign up for our free newsletter. (We'll also tell you all about these films on Mastodon, but newsletter subscribers are the first ones to get the news!)

Sign up now and pass it on to your friends in film and education, too!

What we're reading:

"Brian and I truly count ourselves blessed as we work in the best of both worlds: classroom teachers and consultants for teachers. Once the school year ends, we work with teachers from across the country (actually the world) during the summer, and our lives are the better for this. Here’s our list of what we noticed in our summer workshops."
- Susan Barber and Brian Sztabnik

The article covers burnout, grief, AI, cell phones in classrooms, PD, reliable sources, and more.

We suspect some of this will resonate with educators in the Fediverse. We'd love to hear how you're dealing with these issues in your teaching practice, too.

MoodleDach

I have registered to attend all 4 days of #MoodleMootDach25 in Lubeck Germany. This will be my 3rd #MoodleDach, and based on over 21 years of attending #Moodle conferences it is the best.

It is an “unconference”, meaning you don’t know the schedule until the first morning, but rest assured it will be interesting. The first 2 days are dev camp and the second are bar camp (suitable for non devs).

Mooi dat deze podcast kritisch kijkt naar de rol van Big Tech in het onderwijs. Het streven naar meer Europese samenwerking en bewuste keuzes past precies bij mensgerichte, transparante AI-toepassingen die onderwijswaarden respecteren.
Tegelijk is het voor scholen natuurlijk niet eenvoudig om uit zo’n ‘lock-in’ te stappen en écht eigen regie te nemen. Benieuwd naar concrete tips of voorbeelden uit de aflevering die scholen hierbij kunnen ondersteunen!
