Spain announces plans to ban social media for under -16s


Spain has become the latest European country to make plans to ban social media for children under the age of 16. The ban, which still needs parliamentary approval, is part of a raft of changes that include making company executives responsible for "illegal or harmful content" on their platforms.


Australia became the world's first country to bring in a ban last year, with others watching - and judging - its success. France, Denmark and Austria have also announced that they are considering their own national age limits.


The UK government has launched a consultation on whether to implement a ban for under-16s. Social media companies have argued that the bans would be ineffective, difficult to implement and could isolate vulnerable teenagers. Reddit is challenging Australia's ban in the High Court.


The new laws would also criminalise manipulating algorithms to amplify illegal content. The European Commission has launched an investigation into Grok [X's AI tool] over concerns it was used to create sexualised images of real people. The UK has announced its own investigation into Grok and on Tuesday in France, the offices of X were raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit as it looked into allegations of off ences including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.


In response to the announcement, X owner Elon Musk labelled Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a "tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain". TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram have all been approached for comment. France has led the charge in Europe, with President Emmanuel Macron saying he wants a ban for under-15s in place by the start of the next school year in September.

One of the most widely read books in modern times is Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. The popular self-help work offers advice on how to manage people and bring them around to your way of thinking. The influential figures of ancient history had no such manual to guide them, especially those leaders who ruled the world’s earliest civilizations. They had to learn on the job. What worked for an innovative female pharaoh in Egypt was not necessarily the secret to success for the first Roman emperor or a groundbreaking Chinese philosopher.

Scientists Reveal Simple Trick To Make You Seem More Persuasive


One simple trick can make you seem more persuasive when you're talking to people.

This is the discovery of University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Pennsylvania and University of Southern California (USC) researchers, who have revealed that while words are important, talking with your hands could hold more power.

In fact, "purposeful" hand gestures-and one type in particular-can make you appear both more convincing and competent. 

Building on previous research exploring speech patterns and facial expressions, this is the "first" study to examine hand gestures at scale, according to the team.

Audiences can interpret illustrative gestures as a sign of mastery, explains paper author and information systems researcher professor Mi Zhou of UBC.

"If a person uses their hands to visually illustrate what they're talking about, the audience perceives that this person has more knowledge and can make things easier to understand," Zhou said in a statement.

Growing Up With A.I.: A Multimedia Challenge for Teenagers and Educators
Show us - in words or images, audio or video - how this technology is affecting you and the teenagers you know. Contest dates: Sept. 10-Oct. 22, 2025.


What's it like to think, create, teach and learn at a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our world?

What do you think its rise will mean for the generation in high school now?

This fall, we invite students and educators to explore these questions, and then show - in words or images, audio or video - how this technology is affecting you and the teenagers you know.

We know we don't have to explain to anyone in a classroom today just how profoundly generative A.I. has changed life in and out of school since ChatGPT was released in late 2022. Our goal, instead, is to learn from you, our core audience of middle and secondary students and teachers.

What is it like to grow up alongside A.I.? How, if at all, have you used it? What about it is surprising,. interesting or exciting? What is concerning, perplexing, scary - or even boring? What do you wish more people understood? What can you show or tell from your unique point of view that might add nuance to the conversation? 

We can't wait to see what you'll make. Click on the topic headings below for more resources and details, and review the full rules here. You might also consider hanging this one-page announcement on your class bulletin board.

    They were nearly born on a bus, Estha and Rahel. The car in which Babà, their father, was taking Ammu, their mother, to hospital in Shillong to have them, broke down on the winding teaestate road in Assam. They abandoned the car and flagged down a crowded State Transport bus. With the queer compassion of the very poor for the comparatively well off, or perhaps only because they saw how hugely pregnant Ammu was, seated passengers made room for the couple, and for the rest of the journey Estha and Rahel’s father had to hold their mother’s stomach (with them in it) to prevent it from wobbling. That was before they were divorced and Ammu came back to live in Kerala. 

    According to Estha, if they’d been born on the bus, they’d have got free bus rides for the rest of their lives. It wasn’t clear where he’d got this information from, or how he knew these things, but for years the twins harbored a faint resentment against their parents for having diddled them out of a lifetime of free bus rides.

Multiliteracy: the new basic skill for the 21st century classroom


    We increasingly engage with texts that draw meaning beyond written words from other sources. Images, sound, video clips and gestures (alone and in combination) all play central roles in how we communicate and interpret content.

    This multimedia approach is especially evident in online platforms and social media, where a single piece of content may blend written language with videos, graphics, photos and other visual elements. This change requires us to rethink what we mean by literacy.

    Nearly 30 years ago, a group of scholars, the New London Group, recognised the need for a broader understanding of literacy after observing a growing gap between the literacy needs students faced outside of school and the print-based practices still dominant in classrooms.

    They introduced a concept of multiliteracies which acknowledges that we now engage with texts that use multiple modes of communication. We engage with these texts in different media environments, each with their own practices and strategies.

    The concept incorporates the literacy skills needed to acquire, interpret, produce and evaluate the multimodal and multimedia texts we encounter today.

    For literacy education, this shift means updating classroom aims, content and activities. The group developed a pedagogical framework to help schools respond to the growing inequalities and rapid changes in technology and the textual landscape.

    The process starts with examining pupils’ everyday literacy practices and experiences together. Then these practices are approached analytically by introducing a metalanguage for discussing the resources they use to create meaning. Students can use this metalanguage to critically evaluate their literacy practices which helps them understand how different modes of communication work and how to use them effectively.

    The pedagogy of multiliteracies also emphasises the design and production of multimodal texts and collaborative learning in linguistically and culturally diverse groups, rather than individual reading activities. […]

    Multiliteracies are already included in many European curricula, and the European framework for key competencies for lifelong learning defines literacy in a way that aligns with the concept of multiliteracies. These policy documents and guidelines provide a foundation for integrating multiliteracies into literacy education.

    Yet, research shows that there is still work to be done to incorporate teaching multimodal literacy practices into mainstream literacy education. While many teachers do include multimodal texts in their classroom activities, tensions between multimodal and traditional practices still exist.

    Studies point out the huge challenges teachers face when they adapt their teaching to the redefined literacies, and there are concerns about teachers’ preparedness to teach multiliteracies. They need support with training and appropriate materials. Teacher educators and policy makers must ensure that teachers have substantial and concrete support.

THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY

The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital Paranoia ?  


In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift, encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation, suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions— ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition of infidelity.  

From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a symptom of the "validation economy." The digital architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant pursuit of external approval, where a notification can function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently, the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the threshold of trust has likely been breached.  

Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of digital sociability. They argue that the expansion of the "cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as "micro-infidelities," we risk imposing a panoptic gaze on our partners, where every "friend request" is scrutinized for subversive intent.

For the language educator, this phenomenon provides a rich semiotic field for classroom reflection. Aligning with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study of such themes transcends mere grammatical decoding. It invites students to engage in "multiliteracies," analyzing how meaning is negotiated across digital platforms and how language (visual, verbal, and symbolic) shapes social ethics. In this sense, the English language is not merely a system of signs to be mastered, but a tool for critical agency in a globalized, hyper-connected world.

Students using A.I. over humans to learn English (23rd December 2024)


        More and more students in Japan are using artificial intelligence (AI) to learn English and other languages. The language learning app Duolingo conducted a survey on how students study languages. More than 4,700 Japanese students answered questions about their language-learning habits. The survey found that the number of people using ChatGPT and other AI tools increased by more than 80 per cent in 2024. AI was particularly popular with younger people. The researchers said more young people used AI than took face-to-face lessons. However, some people in their 20s were not totally happy with AI lessons. They said AI lacked natural responses and was a little boring.


        Duolingo said: "We're in the midst of an AI revolution.…Technology has long had an impact on language learning." It found that apps were the most popular method in Japan to learn languages. English was the most studied language, followed by Korean. People are studying Korean "to understand the language as spoken by…favourite artists and celebrities." Duolingo said around 58 per cent of people who took the survey used language-learning apps. This was followed by video streaming platforms like YouTube and Netflix (37%), textbooks (36%) and online lessons (16%). The number of people going to a language school is decreasing. Just 13.8 per cent of people went to classes with a teacher.

Q3993207 Inglês

        The claim to reason or rationality is the ultimate validation of the affirmation and assertion of the human condition. Aristotle’s definition of man as "a rational animal" was not spoken of the African and the Amerindian. Little did he realise that his definition of "man" laid down the foundation for the struggle for reason between colonialists and colonized peoples.

        Aristotle’s definition of man was deeply inscribed in the social ethos of those communities and societies which undertook the so-called voyages of discovery apparently driven by innocent curiosity. It seems then that the entire process of decolonisation has upheld and not jettisoned the questionable belief that "man is a rational animal" was not spoken of the African and of the Amerindian.

        The term African philosophy renders the idea that history repeats itself easy to believe. The term tends to revive innate skepticism on the one hand and to stimulate ingrained condescension on the other. The skeptic, unswervingly committed to the will to remain ignorant, is simply dismissive of any possibility let alone the probability of African philosophy. Impelled by the will to dominate, the condescendor is often ready to entertain the probability of African philosophy provided the judgement pertaining to the experience, knowledge and truth about African philosophy is recognised as the sole and exclusive right of the condescendor. The self-appointed heirs to the right to reason have thus established themselves as the producers of all knowledge and the only holders of the truth.
