Technology is a game changer
What a fantastic discussion to have at the conclusion of class about how AI technologies can improve education. As per normal, there was a pre-vote on whether people agreed or disagreed with the idea, and 31.6% said they did while 68.4% said they didn’t. However, by the end of the debate, 55.6% said they agreed…
Educators cannot use technology and social media to promote social justice.
In my opinion, this debate topic is similar to the idea of the panopticum because it emphasizes the power relationships between those in authority and those who are being controlled. The wealthy are those in positions of authority, on the other hand, the educators, who adhere to norms and regulations, are under control. Not all…

DIGITAL IDENTITY IN NIGERIA
After class, I have been waffling back and forth on what to write about in my blog. But this is it. I’m from Nigeria, a developing nation where social media dominates digital identity (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and gossip blogs). People have committed suicide because of comments on posts, received job offers, seen scholarship offers, reconnected…
ChatGPT in schools
Technology is currently ingrained in most activities and is advancing daily across all fields of endeavour and elements of daily life. Everything in the world is technological, in my opinion, so ChatGPT in the educational setting needs to be accepted in classrooms and properly used by teachers in order to provide students with adequate information…
