The DigiTeacher 2025 episode 3 - Narrative Technologies
YouTube video by The DigiTeacher Digest The DigiTeacher 2025 episode 3 - Narrative Technologies

In this episode I look at Ursula le Guin's 1986 article "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction" and what it has to tell us about educational technology in the English classroom.

So Bibi has dragged Trump into an awful war. So many will suffer in this evil crusade.

Thinking of the USA today. I remember the raw fear of facing off against the Apartheid police force in the 1980s in Johannesburg. Peaceful protest works! Solidarity from South Africa!

Ramaphosa remained calm and dignified despite being ambushed by Trump. Then he fought back with a tag team effort. Yes, South Africa has crime and violence. No, we don't have a genocide. Wish Trump would worry about the real genocide!

Thank you, Trump, for offering to take all our racist fascist countrymen. You are doing South Africa a favour.

Solidarity with all Americans. We have faced our own state capture here and we are with you. Resist and persist.

Elon's neurodivergence is immaterial. He supports far right groups. If he looks like a fascist and sounds like a fascist and salutes like a fascist, he's not hiding what his politics are.

I am extremely dubious they are really close to real AGI. But I am worried about the hype turning everyone's heads and the over bold claims that will be made and read at face value.
