Please share this little AI Literacy app, aimed at 16-18-year-olds, which is quick/engaging, and focuses on AI's use in education. (Share with teachers in particular!) ai-lit.scalablelearning.net/… #AILiteracy #AI_Literacy

We recently developed and piloted an AI-driven, interactive module for Media Literacy. The module is called Bosilos, for "Bust Open the Silos". Check out this report! bit.ly/BOSILOS-AI

To educate students about media and polarization, new approaches that combine e-learning with gen-AI coaching will make a difference. Try out this demonstration: mediainsight.scalablelearnin… passcode: twtr42 No registration required. Pls share! #polarization #media

Check out my series on AllSides, about ambitious solutions to our dysfunctional public discourse. (Link is to my website, which has a user-friendly list of links to all the articles so far.) knowthesystem.org/my-series-…

The news media let us down during the past year. Well...I guess they do every year. My next series article proposes drastic changes to the Fourth Estate. On AllSides Perspective. @AllSidesNow allsides.com/blog/proposal-5…

My next article is about an initiative to provide a new educational resource for the citizenry, that citizens on both sides will actually want to go to. allsides.com/blog/proposal-3… Why now? Two reasons. The first, certainly, is because the societal disruption of social media, partisan media, and disappearing journalism has made it urgent, perhaps even an emergency. The second, though, is that technology is handing us some brand-new possibilities. It is the 6th installment of my series on fixing public discourse. The series, based on my new book, proposes six major initiatives. Published on AllSides Perspectives. See links below to my previous articles. Here are all of the previous articles: 1. Brawny Solutions for our Dysfunctional Public Discourse allsides.com/blog/brawny-sol… 2. Democratic Discourse and the Impunity of Media and Tech Corporations allsides.com/blog/democratic… 3. Pushing Media Policy Out of its Rut allsides.com/blog/pushing-me… 4. Proposal #1: Bust Open the Silos allsides.com/blog/proposal-1… 5. Proposal #2: Elevating the Discernment of Social Media Users allsides.com/blog/proposal-2… 6. Proposal #3: A Learning Resource that Average Citizens Can’t Resist allsides.com/blog/proposal-3…

My next article is about an initiative to tame social media. (You heard me.) A rather paternalistic approach (maternalistic?) of getting on social media and publicly, gently chiding divisive rhetoric. The Schoolmarm! It is the 5th installment of my series on fixing public discourse. Published on AllSides Perspectives. See links below to my previous articles. The series, based on my new book, proposes six major initiatives. The first was Bust Open the Silos. This is the second. allsides.com/blog/proposal-2… 1. Brawny Solutions for our Dysfunctional Public Discourse allsides.com/blog/brawny-sol… 2. Democratic Discourse and the Impunity of Media and Tech Corporations allsides.com/blog/democratic… 3. Pushing Media Policy Out of its Rut allsides.com/blog/pushing-me… 4. Proposal #1: Bust Open the Silos allsides.com/blog/proposal-1… In connection with this current article, here is a link to a prototype Schoolmarm Institute site: schoolmarm.institute/ @chris_bail @pmnapoli @reneehobbs @peterlevine @RTMannJr @deanbphillips allsides.com/blog/proposal-2…

Here, finally, is my first national proposal. A constitutional, technically-feasible way of injecting counterspeech into major political media platforms. I call it "Bust Open the Silos." #polarization #media #democracy @AllSidesNow allsides.com/blog/proposal-1…

And here is the third article. My next articles in the series will detail major proposals for fixing public discourse in the US. allsides.com/blog/pushing-me…

My second and third articles on AllSides are about the obstacles to media reform posed by corporate impunity and by perverse ideological stances towards the First Amendment. Here's the second. allsides.com/blog/democratic…

I'm publishing a series of articles based on my book. (Thanks, AllSides!) Here is the first in the series, just out. allsides.com/blog/brawny-sol… @AllSidesNow

New blog post, reviewing "Democracy When The People Are Thinking" by the iconic James Fishkin. It's challenging, unfortunately, to imagine deliberative events making a serious difference in our era of cheap speech. @StanfordCDDRL #deliberation knowthesystem.org/fishkin-an…

Check out my new book. It details seven national proposals, together aimed at taming our media environment and fixing public discourse. (hint: entire Introduction is visible in Read Sample) #polarization #media #socialmedia amazon.com/dp/B0CV9D37CQ

New blog post, reviewing "Communicating the Future" by Lance Bennett. Important communication strategies for a Green New Deal, learning from the way neoliberalism was developed and promoted prior to the 1980s. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction @LanceBennett1 knowthesystem.org/a-differen…

This polemic by @bariweiss ("End DEI") has gotten lots of attention. I found, though, that it was easier to understand if I appended "Because I said so" to the end of each paragraph. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
