Eternauta

Proud to announce yet another creative moment with my good friends of ESBRINA-UB!
We will reflect critically (but through a relaxed conversation!) on the implications of platformisation, datafication, and generative AI for educational research and practice.

Txs Ben and Janja for the advance and insights on the topic. Maybe an idea would be to advance this topic as a network, exploring and comparing transnationally how these factors are crossing our HEd systems and what is the space for a response (including policy making and funding!).

Morning of a new day at #Ecces25 #conference on #criticaledtech
Values in education-I ask myself- lost in the "technological translation" made by Edtech?

A life full of Ecces… Between Critique and Imagination There are moments in an academic journey that feel oddly like homecomings. The European Conference on Critical Edtech Studies (ECCES) is one of them. As I prepare t…

Slowness as Postdigital Positionality in the Era of Generative AI: A Conversation - Postdigital Science and Education Our work explores the impact of generative AI (GenAI) on academic life through the lenses of three female scholars. It highlights how the rapid rise of AI technologies has created pressure for faster ...

Slowness as Postdigital Positionality in the Era of Generative AI: A Conversation

A methodological exploration (autoethnography), a conversation lasting long, slowness as a response to life in the "blink of AI".

Thanks @ferrarellim.bsky.social and Nohemí Lugo!

We're delighted to welcome @ojcollective.bsky.social to Bluesky. Take a look at their website www.openjournalscollective.org, which soft launches today.

A Journey Begins: "Anchoring Ethical Technology (AI and Data) Usage in Educational Practice" - eth-tech.eu/about/

From Germany, Romania, Spain, and Italy, exploring how future educators engage with AI and data —beyond "techno-myths" toward critical and constructive reflection.

Un recorrido alrededor de la "sospecha" tecnológica. De esa intuición de no repuesta a nuestras identidades y nuestras prácticas.
Nueve mitos Edtech y una reflexión metodologica: desde una conversación iniciada en el 2020.

Finally published :)
Go through this article to discover that this is not another celebration of quantification in educational research. Instead, we propose our critical interpretation about the way we look at the progress of learning analytics research.

Great piece from Civics of Technology about the "move fast and break things" techno ethos. No matter what it is to be broken (our souls, our planet, our future).

In the right wing idiocracy Europe has been moving to, we will be just happy to follow Trumpist aspirations.

Always a joy… @edtechie rocking his keynote complete with cat video… 🐱

How can we resist?
Huge question.
Her focus on belongings.

Cultural practices & participatory digital affordances for support belonging.
Belonging in a complex relationship with mapping (the material and the virtual)
Focusing on relationships and reciprocity.

My over caffeinated colleagues?
No, an actual amazing time at DCU starting this second day we must absolutely celebrate! #hackthealgorithm #CSET2025

A much needed space in the edtech universe.

Networking at the #CSET2025
Yesterday, at the Santiago de Chile's chapter 🤩 and tomorrow at the Dublin chapter. CSET spreading around the world!
Amazing colleagues contributing with fascinating research and discussion to an alternative future...beyond the AI hype!

De la mano de Valentina Errázuriz y organizado por la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, allí estaremos para considerar tensiones, impactos, alternativas y resistencias frente al tecnocentrismo.

I share the feeling @bonstewart.bsky.social and I don't know wtf I will do tomorrow to fight against the dragons. But we will have to use our imagination.

Thankfully there's still genuine things to read out there. Not stuff written with "N" prompts and reposted reposts as a fractal celebration of nothingness. But this.

...I guess policy makers (more and more intended to bring to the people "solutions" at "low cost") will make "convenient" contracts with vendors. Collective public money will pay (see the Italian engagement with Space X). Procurement as an ethics' battlefield.

The fast academia, and the metrics of mediocrity.
Me included and carefully thinking about my part of responsibility in this scenario. Can we act as Don Quijote and fight against the academic (paper) windmills?

Respecto de c) si pienso en la dimensión existencial del tiempo (de la contemplación y la comprensión, de la empatía y del cuidado) la aceleración no es ética, ergo, no es ético el uso de la IA en esas condiciones.

Podemos imaginar otras dimensiones y condiciones de uso de la IA para el bien?

Respecto de b) la IA me ayuda especialmente en ese margen hiperproductivo y performativo. Porque se ha quitado tiempo a la conversación o la lectura lenta, la contemplación, característica del tiempo humano. La IA, así, se vuelve una suerte de ortopedia mental de adaptación al managerialismo?
