Some more good news this morning – UK children will be taught "how to spot fake news and disinformation, including AI-generated content" in new curriculum. This kind of media literacy education is so badly needed. I've written multiple letters to our MP asking for this over the years. It's good to see something finally happening. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cddr3v6j9mmo

@torgo i worry it's going to be so out of date before it's published. look how fast things are moving with realistic AI videos etc. Also, "e-safety" always takes the place of real teaching about computing. The kids spend half of each year of computing class in secondary school doing the same superficial stuff.
@foobarry I share your concern – and especially about e-safety, which I felt was never teaching kids anything useful. However I think it's good to have *something* on Internet media literacy.
@torgo yeah. i hope it sticks. i get (supposedly "clever") phd students (who didn't get it drummed into them as kids) giving me their password in support tickets.even my kids know thats stupid.
