In this episode I look at Ursula le Guin's 1986 article "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction" and what it has to tell us about educational technology in the English classroom.

My Grade 8s having fun with Midsummer Night's Memes!
So Bibi has dragged Trump into an awful war. So many will suffer in this evil crusade.
Thinking of the USA today. I remember the raw fear of facing off against the Apartheid police force in the 1980s in Johannesburg. Peaceful protest works! Solidarity from South Africa!
The world needs more angry women! Absolutely! The world needs more Gretas!
After a bit of a break, I'm back with a new episode of The DigiTeacher!

Ramaphosa remained calm and dignified despite being ambushed by Trump. Then he fought back with a tag team effort. Yes, South Africa has crime and violence. No, we don't have a genocide. Wish Trump would worry about the real genocide!
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
I get that Wisconsin likes cheese, but one really ought to think about how weird one looks when wearing one before one wears one on one's head!

Proud to be a South African standing up to Trump!
But it seems our farmers don't want to go - they find America too racist and fascist!
Thank you, Trump, for offering to take all our racist fascist countrymen. You are doing South Africa a favour.
Solidarity with all Americans. We have faced our own state capture here and we are with you. Resist and persist.

There's s lot of this about!
A thought provoking read
Elon's neurodivergence is immaterial. He supports far right groups. If he looks like a fascist and sounds like a fascist and salutes like a fascist, he's not hiding what his politics are.
Signed up many new students for esports this term. Over half of the club is now grade 8s. Very promising going forward.

Teaching - the only profession where people steal office supplies from Home to take to Work!
She crashed the economy alright!
Well said @seanhc.bsky.social
I am extremely dubious they are really close to real AGI. But I am worried about the hype turning everyone's heads and the over bold claims that will be made and read at face value.
It's a race to the bottom!
