High school students in @HaltonDSB have been working on @IThinkTogether AI Challenge. Today they'll be presenting their recommendations for their board on how to use AI to enhance learning. Can't wait to see their presentations! @HDSB_TheShift

I guess @AJEnglish would have reported on so called elections in the Soviet Union in the same way. Not a word to indicate that no opposition is allowed and anyone tending in that direction risking lengthy jail time. Shame to @AJEnglish!
People in Russia and the territories it has annexed in Ukraine are voting in a three-day election that could make President Vladimir Putin the country’s longest-serving leader.
Al Jazeera’s @DorsaJabbari has been at a polling station in Moscow ⤵️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The election is a foregone conclusion in favor of President Putin due to the fact there is no legitimate opposition choice, and routine evidence from previous elections of rigging and voter intimidation.

“Jewish ridings.” This isn’t a slip of the tongue. Poilievre — who aims to represent Canada on the world stage — typed this out, proofread it and then posted it and there better be some pointed follow-up questions.

Only 7% of parents believe books should be removed based on the objection of a single parent.
Yet an organized assault on the freedom to read by vocal activists & pro-censorship politicians led to 3,362 books bans in the last school year—diminishing the education of millions. 🧵

If you need to be proven right, learning is a challenge. If you’re eager to be proven wrong, learning is delightful.

Puzzling...
1. everyone will hit the age gate not just kids
2. how does the operator know the adult is the parent?
3. why find a way to target ads at kids anyhow?
4. if it doesn't work, no access? #ChildRights
