#datafixation Love this concept. A "wordplay that combines #datafication and #fixation. The article showcases how the datafication of #education presents compelling arguments about the importance and usefulness of #data, while remaining silent about the negative consequences of reducing students, learning, teaching, and education to superficial indicators. Such a one-sided view meets the criteria of fixation as anunhealthy #attachment." Pekka Mertala #edtech

What happens when a #school bans #smartphones? A complete transformation: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/17/cellphone-smartphone-bans-schools Un interessante esperimento in una #scuola del Massachusetts, raccontata dal #Guardian #education #istruzione

Teachers say mobile phones make their lives a living hell – so one Massachusetts school barred them

When the weather is nice, the Buxton boarding school moves lunch outside. Students, faculty and guests grab their food from the kitchen, and eat together under a white tent that overlooks western Massachusetts’ Berkshire mountains.

As the close of the school year neared last June, talk turned to final assignments (the English class was finishing Moby-Dick) and end-of-year fun (there was a trip planned to a local lake). It was, in most ways, a typical teenage afternoon – except that no one was on their phones.

Buxton was wrapping up the first year of a simple yet novel experiment: banning cellphones on campus. Or, rather, smartphones.

Instead, the school gave everyone on campus – including staff – a Light Phone, that is, a “dumb” phone with limited functionality. The devices can make calls, send texts (slowly) and can’t load modern applications; instead coming with deliberately cumbersome versions of music and mapping apps. They are about the size of a deck of cards, with black and white screens.

L'editoriale di Guido Calogero, per "Il Mondo", a commento delle polemiche sulle modalità di scolarizzazione di massa statunitensi scoppiate dopo il successo del lancio sovietico dello Sputnik nella competizione tecnologica tra superpotenze.
Una lettura da un altro mondo, ma a tratti ancora illuminante

OK Mastodon - I have a question about universities and #selfhosted instances. #PleaseBoost
Do you know of any Universities or other Educational Institutions that are hosting their own #Mastodon or other #Fediverse instances? Please leave a reply with the example if you do. I'm building the case for my University to do so.
Thanks!
