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.
Questions? Post a comment here or write to us at [email protected].

The Challenge
This contest asks you to address one or both of these focus questions:
• 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?
How you address them is up to you. You can take on any aspect of the topic, big or small, negative or
positive. You can focus on your life in or out of school, and you can work alone or with others.

Structural and pedagogical problems
hinder the use of technology
Three out of four teachers in Brazil show support for the use
of artificial intelligence (AI) as a teaching tool. They also say that
the technology has impacted education both positively, with faster
access to information, and negatively, as students lose their focus.
The data can be found in an unprecedented survey by Semesp
Institute, an organization that represents higher education
providers. The study was carried out between March 18 and 31
with 444 public and private school teachers from kindergarten to
high school located in all regions of Brazil.
In the study, 74.8 percent of respondents partially or totally
agree with the use of artificial intelligence in teaching. Despite this,
just over a third (39.2%) of them said they always use it as a
teaching tool.
Even though educators believe it is important to use AI, they
also report structural and pedagogical problems that prevent or
hinder its employment. Further issues were reported in
connection with its excessive use, especially by pupils. Among
these problems are the lack of internet at school, the lack of
training for teachers and also greater difficulty in holding students’
attention.
“I sense students have become more dependent on research
tools and immediate answers and have a hard time having
resilience and patience and acting as problem solvers,” an
anonymous teacher who took part in the survey said.
Another one said: “Technology has advanced, but sometimes
access to it at school is not satisfactory. Poor internet connection.
The computer lab is a restricted space. No Microsoft Office in the
mobile lab. The use of cell phones is impractical as students have
no internet. Now, even the internet is restricted to teachers.”
Just under half of the teachers (45.7%) declared that both
teachers and students have access to computers and the internet
where they teach. Another seven percent answered there is still
no access to technology in their schools.
Teachers also report that technology has made students lose
their focus. “The school can’t keep up with the use of new technologies at the speed that the students can, which leads to a
mismatch between the lesson taught and the lesson that the
students want. The unbridled use of social media and the high level
of exposure of young people to these networks have undermined
teachers’ contact with students,” one of the teachers stated.

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.

PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA INGLESA:
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.
The phrasal verb "look into" (as in "Teachers must look
into how digital practices affect trust") is best replaced

Hero boy swims for four hours to save his family (9th February 2026)
A 13-year-old Australian boy has been hailed a hero after an epic swim that saved his family. The boy, Austin Appelbee, and his family were on a beach holiday in Western Australia. They were kayaking and paddleboarding in shallow water when strong winds pushed them farther offshore. They ended up over four kilometres away from land, and the daylight was fading. Austin decided to kayak to shore to get help. However, the waves had damaged his kayak, which had taken in water and flipped over. He said he then lost an oar and knew he was in trouble. He decided he had no alternative but to swim back to land. He swam through shark-frequented waters to raise the alarm.
Austin made it to the beach and phoned for help. This sparked a huge rescue operation, which resulted in coastguards finding the teenager's mother and two younger sisters. The boy said: "I hit the bottom of the beach and I just collapsed, and then, after that, I had to “ sprint two kilometres to get to the phone." Rescuers called his efforts "superhuman". One rescuer said Austin's actions could not "be praised highly enough." He added that the teenager's "determination and courage ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings." Austin's mother Joanne, 47, told reporters: "The wind picked up. We lost oars, and we drifted out further. It was an absolute nightmare."
In the text about Austin Appelbee's rescue, several verbs and adjectives are used to describe the gravity and the outcome of the
situation. Based on their specific usage in the passage, identify the alternative that CORRECTLY provides synonyms for the words
"hailed", "sparked", and "siblings" without altering the original meaning.

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.

Beverly Hannett-Price‟s 67 years teaching at Detroit Country Day School has earned acclaim and notice in the Guinness Book of World Records. An assembly Monday crowded with students and staff toasted the 90-year-old‟s decades of uninterrupted classroom instruction marking her the longestserving female teacher of English as a foreign language.
“This historic recognition honors not only the length of Mrs. Hannett-Price‟s career, but the depth of her influence on students whose achievements span the worlds of entertainment, business, and the arts,” school officials said in a statement.
“She‟s had a lot of students and she kept in touch with me. She knew I needed more attention ... she befriended me. This is more than just a student-teacher relationship,” Courtney B. Vance, one of her former students, said Monday.
Guinness confirms Hannett-Price is the world‟s longestserving female language teacher, based on verified, uninterrupted years of classroom instruction documented across multiple institutions. In a statement on their website, Guinness said that “This record honors her lifelong commitment to her students, her school communities, and the teaching profession as a whole.”
Hannett-Price is known for her innovative and engaging teaching methods and creative assignments. “Even after more than 67 years in the classroom, she continues to educate with the same enthusiasm and energy that defined the start of her career,”Detroit Country Day officials said.

Building Trustworthy AI in Government: Enablers, Guardrails,
and Engagement
Governments are starting to use AI in areas like public
services, tax work, and disaster response. When it works well,
AI can help people get answers faster, spot problems earlier,
and support better decisions. As a result, AI can improve
productivity, responsiveness, and accountability in
government.
However, many public AI projects stay in small pilots. This
happens because governments often lack skills, good data,
modern digital systems, and clear ways to measure impact.
These gaps can also increase risk aversion, so teams avoid
innovation even when the potential benefits are high.
The OECD proposes a simple way to understand
“trustworthy AI in government”: a framework with three
connected pillars. In the figure, the goal is in the centre. Around
it, the three pillars explain what governments must build and
do, so they can reach the public value goals shown on the
outer ring (productivity, responsiveness and accountability).
Enablers are the foundations. They include strong
governance, quality data, and digital infrastructure, as well as
skills and talent in the civil service. They also require
purposeful investment, smart public procurement, and
partnerships with non-government actors, so that AI systems
can be built and used reliably.
Guardrails are the safety systems that guide AI use. They
include ethics and risk management, transparency duties, and
monitoring and oversight bodies that can check results over
time. They can also be non-binding guidance or binding laws
and policies, along with enforcement measures. Tools like
impact assessment and auditing help keep these guardrails
practical. Still, guardrails should be proportionate: not every
rule fits every use case, or progress may stop.
Engagement means involving the people who are affected.
This includes working across levels of government, across
policy areas, and with the broader ecosystem (civil society,
businesses and researchers). It also includes citizens and civil
servants, and sometimes collaboration across borders.
Engagement pushes governments to design user-centred
systems, listen to concerns, and make necessary adjustments.
The main message is that trust is “unlocked” by the right
mix. If enablers are weak, AI cannot scale. If guardrails are
missing, harms grow. If engagement is shallow, solutions may
look efficient but feel unfair, and trust can fall.
(Adapted from oecd.org on February 22, 2026)

Building Trustworthy AI in Government: Enablers, Guardrails,
and Engagement
Governments are starting to use AI in areas like public
services, tax work, and disaster response. When it works well,
AI can help people get answers faster, spot problems earlier,
and support better decisions. As a result, AI can improve
productivity, responsiveness, and accountability in
government.
However, many public AI projects stay in small pilots. This
happens because governments often lack skills, good data,
modern digital systems, and clear ways to measure impact.
These gaps can also increase risk aversion, so teams avoid
innovation even when the potential benefits are high.
The OECD proposes a simple way to understand
“trustworthy AI in government”: a framework with three
connected pillars. In the figure, the goal is in the centre. Around
it, the three pillars explain what governments must build and
do, so they can reach the public value goals shown on the
outer ring (productivity, responsiveness and accountability).
Enablers are the foundations. They include strong
governance, quality data, and digital infrastructure, as well as
skills and talent in the civil service. They also require
purposeful investment, smart public procurement, and
partnerships with non-government actors, so that AI systems
can be built and used reliably.
Guardrails are the safety systems that guide AI use. They
include ethics and risk management, transparency duties, and
monitoring and oversight bodies that can check results over
time. They can also be non-binding guidance or binding laws
and policies, along with enforcement measures. Tools like
impact assessment and auditing help keep these guardrails
practical. Still, guardrails should be proportionate: not every
rule fits every use case, or progress may stop.
Engagement means involving the people who are affected.
This includes working across levels of government, across
policy areas, and with the broader ecosystem (civil society,
businesses and researchers). It also includes citizens and civil
servants, and sometimes collaboration across borders.
Engagement pushes governments to design user-centred
systems, listen to concerns, and make necessary adjustments.
The main message is that trust is “unlocked” by the right
mix. If enablers are weak, AI cannot scale. If guardrails are
missing, harms grow. If engagement is shallow, solutions may
look efficient but feel unfair, and trust can fall.

How do we measure attention?
Attention, broadly defined, is the ability to direct the
mind on a specific task, says Gloria Mark, author of Attention
Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness
and Productivity. There are two main types of attention, Mark
explains. Involuntary attention is automatic—it’s what allows us
to react to a loud noise or a jarringly bright light. Focalized
attention, by contrast, is the ability to concentrate on a specific
task. This latter type is what scientists measure when
researching attention spans.
Since the early 2000s, Mark has tracked focalized
attention by observing how long people remain on a task
before switching to something else—such as checking email
or opening a new browser tab. At first, Mark used in-person
observations— researchers shadowed employees throughout
the office. In recent years, she has tracked attention spans
using software that monitors people’s computers.
“Data from our first study, in 2003, revealed that people
spent an average of 2.5 minutes on something before turning
their attention to a different task,” she says, “Our most recent
study done over the past five years shows that the figure has
gone down to 40 seconds.” The measure doesn’t capture how
long people can focus under ideal conditions, Mark notes,
meaning shorter attention spans don’t reflect a permanent loss
of attention capacity, but changes in how often people break
their focus in daily life.
