Data Literacy and Data Ethics in Education

Data Is Not Neutral: Rethinking Measurement, AI, and Equity in Education
<p>What if data isn’t neutral but, instead, actively shaping who students become?</p><p><br>In the latest episode of EDU Café, I sit down with Dr. Ezekiel Dixon-Román and Dr. Ed Dieterle to unpack one of the most urgent conversations in education today: how data, algorithms, and AI are influencing not just how we measure learning but how we define it.</p><p>We explore:<br>🔹 Why data is socially produced and interpreted, not objective<br>🔹 How AI is shaping learning and behavior<br>🔹 The hidden risks of “efficient” technologies in classrooms<br>🔹 What fairness, ethics, and human-centered design should look like in practice</p><p>A key takeaway from this conversation: Before adopting any new technology, we should ask not just, “Does it work?” but “Do we actually need it to do things better, to do better things, or both?”</p><p><br>Also check out: </p><ul><li>Upcoming book with contributions from Ed and Ezekiel: Learning Under Algorithmic Conditions. <a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517920050/learning-under-algorithmic-conditions/">https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517920050/learning-under-algorithmic-conditions/</a></li><li>Upcoming University of Minnesota Press documentary directed by Valerie Veatch - Ghost in the Machine - that Ezekiel is featured in: <a href="https://kinema.com/films/ghost-in-the-machine-pvxg4p">https://kinema.com/films/ghost-in-the-machine-pvxg4p</a></li></ul><p>#Education #EdTech #AIinEducation #DataEthics #EquityInEducation #LearningDesign </p>

Understanding Dyscalculia in Today’s Classrooms
<p>🎙️ New EDU Cafe Podcast Episode: Understanding Dyscalculia in Today’s Classrooms</p><p><br>What if up to <strong>8% of students</strong> in your classroom struggle with math, not because they aren’t trying but because of a neurological difference?</p><p>In my conversation with Dr. Sandra Elliott, we unpack the often-overlooked learning difference: <strong>dyscalculia</strong>.</p><p>💡 Key takeaways:</p><ul><li>Dyscalculia impacts number sense, calculation, and mathematical reasoning</li><li>It’s as prevalent as dyslexia but far less understood</li><li>Many students go undiagnosed, often labeled as “just not good at math”</li><li>Early screening and explicit, systematic instruction can make a life-changing difference</li></ul><p>Perhaps the most important reminder:</p><p><br>👉 Every classroom likely includes students with dyscalculia, whether we recognize it or not.</p><p>As educators, leaders, and advocates, we have an opportunity to shift the narrative around math learning and provide the support students truly need.</p><p>🎧 Tune in to learn the signs, support students effectively, and rethink math instruction.</p><p><br>#Education #Dyscalculia #SpecialEducation #MathEducation #MTSS #LearningDifferences #EdLeadership</p>
