So much to consider here! Thanks for the great questions @oliviakellyou.bsky.social #LTHEchat

A6 Generative AI creates an opportunity for educators to expand digital literacy by helping students understand:

how AI systems generate content

how algorithms prioritise and distribute that content

the social and ethical implications of these technologies.

#LTHEchat

A6 Generative AI tools can produce realistic text, images, and videos very quickly. This can make it harder for students to distinguish between authentic content, manipulated media, and AI-generated material, increasing the risk of misinformation spreading online. #LTHEchat

I so look foward to photos tomorrow @profsallybrown.bsky.social #LTHEchat

These are:

Media literacy – helping students evaluate sources of information
Critical thinking – questioning how knowledge is produced and distributed
Digital citizenship – understanding how online systems shape communication and belief

#LTHEchat

To add ddressing algorithmic influence is not necessarily an additional responsibility outside teaching. It fits within existing education goals. #LTHEchat

A4 Educators help shape how students understand and evaluate knowledge. From an ethical perspective, supporting students’ ability to question these systems aligns with core educational values such as intellectual independence, fairness, and informed decision-making. #LTHEchat

Strong reactions to topics because they have mainly seen one side of the argument online.

Difficulty distinguishing between opinion, sponsored content, and verified information.

Limited awareness of multiple perspectives on an issue.

#LTHEchat

A3 In teaching, some common signs might include:

Students confidently repeating viral claims from social media without checking sources.

Students citing TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube creators as primary sources rather than credible information sources.

#LTHEchat

A3 Algorithms learn what a user likes and then show similar content in the future. Over time this can create an echo chamber and perpetuate misonformation. #LTHEchat

Yep

Beware online "filter bubbles" As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't g...

Filter bubbles are so real. Eli Pariser's book The Filter Bubble (2011) and TED talk is worth following up. #LTHEchat www.ted.com/talks/eli_pa...

A2 Yes this is important students are made aware of algorithmic bias as this can lead to problems such as:

Certain groups being underrepresented or misrepresented

Reinforcing stereotypes

Amplifying misinformation

Limiting the diversity of viewpoints users see

#LTHEchat

A1 Social media platforms use algorithms to sort huge amounts of content and decide what appears in your feed. These algorithms learn from data such as past user behaviour, engagement (likes, shares), and historical patterns. #LTHEchat

Join us on Bluesky for #LTHEchat on Wednesday 4th March at 8pm GMT with guest @oliviakellyou.bsky.social to discuss how algorithmic bias can influence what students see on social media and what our role as educators should be.

Good evening #LTHEchat Joining from Sheffied #LTHEchat

DM me if you want to pencil a date in for May or June as an incentive!

Maybe something to revisit? Given digital permeates so many roles, and within each we are juggling multiple roles, how does this impact our identities? Could make an interesting LTHEchat to think about if you’d like to.

Great questions @2standandstare.bsky.social - thank you #LTHEchat
