Tell everyone about Civics of Tech!

It isn’t discussed enough and students and teachers need to be more Informed and empowered

One thing I do to spark these conversations is... lead young people in having them, drawing from their experience of these technologies in their everyday lives.

As an Instructional Designer & Librarian, I have to talk about GenAI ethics, because students deserve the respect of having their own autonomy, and creating their own pathway to using (or not using!) these tools foisted upon them.

bc talking about ethics decentres the idea that tech is neutral

I'm about to design and teach a course in the fall on this topic, so these are VERY helpful conversations!

It is important to talk about Gen AI ethics to ensure we remain critical and not compliant to the latest or PUSH.

...everyone is increasingly encouraged to think of/prioritise themselves. I'm concerned we're becoming a more selfish society

My design work is based on Christine Guzman’s equityxdesign. She has free resources of activities to help center ethics throughout the design work. Normally, her work is used in organizational design….i just apply it to tech design

because talking about ethics gets us thinking about our values, which need to be at the core of education

Because sometimes we don't know what we don't know!

And it's only by having these conversations that we begin to identify gaps, recognize potential, and "denaturalize" the technocapitalist world we live in.

Our lives (Black people, poor people, those directly impacted by harms), depend on it

I just got out of a work meeting about AI use at our company. So little critical thinking or discussion of ethics going on there! I need to speak up and make space for others to resist the forces pushing it on us (and on students and teachers).

One thing I do is have students name their technologies and then read & discuss the TOS "I Agree" boxes

When my students find out about ethical issues later, they generally feel bad that they unknowingly used it.

In my context, I work with educators, and we tend to take an inquiry stance towards our work. I find these complicated inquiries these days so in the last session, I appreciated the AI awareness chart that reminds us to be aware of our values, societal impact, etc..

Right now, I am teaching a grad program and my students are in a learning science and technology program. My class is not on technology, but I am trying to open up conversations because the default seems to be that everything is exciting and tools can be developed to help with something that needs help. I guess just writing this is making me think about talking more about that something what is it that we think needs help.

Some of my students come from China they talk about elementary schools middle schools that have 8000 children in them. The scale completely baffles me and I have a hard time talking about this work in that context. What does it mean to stay small and community centered when you live in Shanghai and go to schools that are massive?

Philosophy for Children discussions! Because young children are very curious how tech is impacting their lives and families

I like using historical examples in class to encourage reflections on the present

Engage UK and other global standards. US ones are not the way to ethics and justice

… invite those “on the other side” to talk about ethics & GenAI in a personal/public way.
