Category: EC&I 832: Digital Citizenship and Literacy

I downloaded TikTok almost a month ago, and for the first two weeks, I think I logged in twice? Once I played with my user pic, and somehow ended up with an AI generated picture of me that didn’t actually look anything like me? And the second time I...

When I was in Grade 11, my sister in first-year university, she had a professor that was posting his slides online, and he expected students to print them out to bring to lectures. Doesn’t sound overly crazy to us now, maybe, though people would probably have a personal device...

I downloaded TikTok, and had every intention of starting there for this project, and then I had a colleague mention MagicSchool AI when I was discussing working on essay outlines with two of my classes and I ended up going down that rabbit hole first instead. It was already...
