Listened TIDE Episode 118: Raising Digital Citizens from tidepodcast.org
This week, Doug and Dai discuss research in schools, walking long distances, screen time, digital citizenship, tech veganism, fully automated luxury communism, and more!

I enjoyed listening to this episode, as usual Doug and Dai chat about many ideas current ideas that I have though about but not had the chance to talk through. I enjoy agreeing and disagreeing with their views often both at once. My favourite one this week was Dai’s opinion on holidays as a bad thing 👍

Replied to Robert Jones on Twitter: "I'm becoming increasingly sentimental as I get older. I have a real fondness for hawthorn, probably because hawthorn trees bounded two sides of our garden when I was growing up.… https://t.co/S9w4hKOw0N" (twitter.com)

‪The hawthorn is a lovely tree. Every spring I think blackthorn is my favourite and the the hawthorn comes along. There seems to be even more than usual this spring. ‬

Replied to Kenny Pieper on Twitter: "I use G**gle Classroom and MS OneNote but should we not be more concerned that these huge multinational tech companies are seeping in to our every day classrooms? Always at the back of my mind." by @kennypieper (twitter.com)

I wonder if we should spend some time explaining to pupils why we choose the tools we use, the affordances of said tools and the drawbacks. In the case of “free” tools why companies give them away. I don’t believe we think about these reasons in enough depth.

Listened Hiking in March 2018 (audio) – Colin Devroe from cdevroe.com
Side note: I record tons of these audio bits that I never get around to publishing. They are awesome to look back on regardless if I publish them or not. I need to record a lot more audio.

Listened to this on my commute, I enjoy listening to this sort of very casual microcast with nice outdoors background. I do hope Colin publishes some more.
