Current State of Media Literacy
There has been a growing interest in media literacy recently. Sarah has been involved in a project to improve digital literacy for children under 5 and early childhood educators. Several key issues have emerged during this process:
1.
Lack of media literacy support for parents and caregivers of young children
2.
Conflicting messages between education and health authorities
3.
Weakening information literacy due to excessive emphasis on smartphone risks
4.
The unclear position of media literacy in the curriculum
Meanwhile, a study by the Behavioural Insights Team found that while 59% of adults were confident they could identify online misinformation, only 36% rated others positively, indicating a tendency to overestimate their own abilities.
AI meets education
There is a lot of discussion about the implications of OpenAI’s new ‘inference’ model for education. Mike Sharples suggests that it could be used for adaptive assessments that explain to students why they got the wrong answer, but he emphasizes that it’s still early days.
EU Code Week will discuss the impact of AI tools on the future of coding education and the emerging technologies. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman is optimistic about the future of AI companions.
Digital technology and education field
Microsoft Teams for Education adds 11 new features, Raspberry Pi revamps its free coding club network Code Club, and STEM Learning is offering online cybersecurity training sessions for elementary schools.
Evidence-based research on smartphone policies in schools has been published in the Digital Futures report, while concerns have been raised about conflicts of interest in local council MIS fees.
AI and Society
An interesting perspective is provided by the Guardian article on what AI images reveal about our world: that in the future, we should be prepared to accept that all images are likely to have been generated by AI, and that these images reveal the richness of humanity, not its absence.
Signal’s Meredith Whittaker told the FT that AI is born from surveillance. As the head of the encrypted messaging service, she has taken a hard-line stance on privacy.
Language and Media
BBC Radio 4's 'Word of Mouth' programme discusses language use on social media with linguist Dr Andreea Calude. She shares her research into language use patterns across platforms including Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and Twitter/X.
In conclusion, media literacy in the AI era requires more than just the ability to judge information; it also requires the ability to understand and critically think about the interaction between technology and humans. In response to these changes, the educational field is adjusting the curriculum and introducing new tools. At the same time, it is a time when in-depth discussion is needed about the social impact that the development of AI technology will bring.
