Module 5: Blog Assignment Civic Imagination Project.

I am here to talk about my Civic Imagination Project from what the internet looked like in 2008 vs now, especially with the exponential growth of Khan Academy and Youtube.

Although this concept originated in 1992, I'm defining the digital civic imagination era when technology boomed in 2008. With technology repurposed, digital tools, formerly used for personal and social purposes, began strategically addressing social and political issues.

When YouTube and Khan Academy were at the height of their popularity in the golden era of 2008, the technology and virtual spaces available to young people then were somewhat different from those they have today. With the help of these technologies and virtual spaces, they have mapped and articulated their civic imaginations. What we know as the internet today is the result of this bridge that has opened up a world of political and civic engagement.

As a result of YouTube and Khan Academy, there have been a lot of advancements since 2008. There has been a lot of progress since digital tools, platforms, and virtual spaces became more accessible. It has been possible since 2008 for young people to create and share their ideas, experiences, opinions, and experiences via social media. As a result, they have also been able to engage in meaningful dialogue with others in a way they were never able to before, especially with the rise of smart phones. Moreover, these virtual spaces have also helped young people develop a sense of community as a result of creating a sense of belonging as the years progressed.

Young people are accessing that bridge and making connections between personal and political uses of technology — that today's technologies are materials of imagination for all young people. But, speaking with young people about how they would use digital technology to address the problems that most concern them, it's clear that they are using YouTube now more than ever. Peter Broad, the director of global research and insights for the education company, mentioned, "When younger learners are looking for answers, they're going to the most straightforward, familiar force, and for them, that's YouTube." And the Google-owned platform is "full of explainers and tutorials" and content that is "short and easily digestible," he added. generation-z-learners-prefer-youtube-lessons-over-printed-books/ With the rise of the internet on the verge of becoming a human right with the proper knowledge, it can be helpful for learning new information.

Due to the internet's existence since 1995 and Chrome's availability on Google since 2008, world-wide-web-timeline, this alternative does not require technological change. However, a systemic cultural shift is needed to maximize the internet's potential. We need to teach everyone about the dangers of false information and online research to prevent the spread of false information. We must also learn how to use the internet responsibly and respectfully, especially since the internet is now considered a human right.

#######

There are elements of this alternative present in the current situation. Today, it is imperative that users' privacy and security be protected online and that false information be avoided. Current conditions and new expectations reflect the alternative elements of using videos to help us learn mathematics. Today's ideas on the internet are more valuable than before, but they were still powerful and had different purposes back then.

However, Youtube monthly users are more vital than ever before. There are more monthly viewers on YouTube today than in 2008 (2 billion vs. 160 million). (Youtube users.) Same with Khan Academy, now the world's largest educational platform with over 130 million registered users, and the average monthly number of learners at Khan Academy is 17.7 million. .(sal-khans-academy) . As internet usage has increased exponentially in the last decade and a half, these websites have gained popularity, promising to make students' lives easier by enabling them to access relevant information and content.

I hope you enjoyed the brief history of my Civic Imagination Project.

Day 1/14 - Chem

Realizing that Khan Academy's AP Chem course is better organized for learning than their Chemistry library, but it assumes you know things...things I have forgotten from high school chemistry, things I can find in the Chemistry library, so I have to figure out the right order myself which isn't too much of a biggie...like at least all the content is there and it's all very well explained. E.g. of the weird organization:

AP Mass spectrometry lesson = chem library U4

AP videos on elemental composition of pure substances is actually a later lesson in Chem library U5 on stoichiometry, tho its exercise is in Chem library U3.

Progress in AP Chem - below the red is what i finished today (had Saturday and Sunday to do Chemistry library U1-2 which was...mostly a breeze except for the readings cuz reading always takes longer AND there are some connections to future content that I currently don't have a good understanding of. I still have to finish reading the Polyatomic ions page...). In green (see pic 1) is what I need to finish tomorrow to complete Chemistry library U3.

Also gotta re-organize my notes so far. Today did some on paper, very rough cuz I was tryna figure things out myself whenever "I feel inspired" as Sal says. So transfer paper notes to OneNote. Yesterday added to my one page of notes in OneNote and was starting to have trouble navigating. I NEED TO SEPARATE NOTES INTO THEIR OWN THEMED PAGES. TITLE THINGS LIKE THEY TITLE THE VIDEOS (like how I did for my high school chem lecture notes...). And be very clear about the logic in my example follow-alongs/practice as if I were teaching it to beginners, don't skip any steps and explain each one. This is important because I'm starting to get confused at the math in new topics like mass percent and the subsequent topics that use it. (I'm pretty sure this is new at least? It feels new... Got 50% on elemental composition of pure substances, so it recommends that I keep practicing 📚)

Feeling slightly overwhelmed at the size of the Chemistry library stoich unit (U5)... 😵‍💫 ...which I had originally planned to finish tomorrow along w U6... Idk if I can do that... Why do I keep setting unrealistic goals 😵‍💫😮‍💨 I do wanna get to everything b4 I start university chemistry tho... Ugh Idk...

Update: I was feeling overwhelmed so decided to get started on the stoich... In green is what I can immediately do tomorrow. I wanna do the ideal gas thing after I finish the gases and kinetic molecular theory unit, which I might do sooner than I had planned.

Khan Academy Head Wants AI to Assist Kids Rather Than Do the Work for Them

Sal Khan, the founder of the nonprofit education organization Khan Academy, said that in the early days of popular language model GPT-4’s development, the system was spitting out inaccurate math. Khan and his team had an early look at the next-gen AI system as it was being developed and were trying to find workarounds, but after sharing the issue with OpenAI, GPT-4’s developers found the language model’s training data had bad math labeling.

The problem was fixed, and Khan said GPT-4 is much better at math now even though it doesn’t have a calculator natively programmed into the system. But it’s an interesting tidbit on the closed-door development of the much-hyped large language model, especially since few have had access to the development of and training data for GPT-4. Khan is an admitted skeptic of the big tech AI boom, but he’s in the thick of it, as his nonprofit is involved with the beating heart of Silicon Valley.

Khan Academy and its new Khanmigo AI learning platform was one of the few big projects that OpenAI touted with the release of its new LLM. Khan said Khanmigo is the first step for the team trying to make a kind of all-in-one learning and tutoring platform. Though unlike so many companies shoving AI into their products to get into the hype, Khan isn’t trying to blow anyone’s mind. In an interview with Gizmodo, he shared both his excitement and qualms about AI. In his mind, AI may be one of the few ways to stop people from abusing AI itself.

Khan said that nearly half a year ago, before ChatGPT saw its initial release, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman approached his nonprofit, saying it wanted its AI to be able to pass traditional standardized exams, and that it was looking for a few companies to partner with for some “social positive use cases.” Though specifically, the OpenAI team was jonesing to make its AI capable of passing traditional standardized tests like the SATs.

While initially skeptical, Khan said “my mind was blown” once he saw the full capabilities of OpenAI’s latest version of its language model. Khan said he started steering his thoughts to how an AI could act as a democratized tutor or teaching assistant. Khan Lab’s Khanmigo AI is currently limited to specific users, though a waitlist is available.

G/O Media may get a commission

Khan said he and his team wanted to take a more considered approach than other Silicon Valley types, one where people who used the program knew exactly what they were getting, especially the potential harms. Big tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Google are in a footrace to see who can add more AI to their user-end systems the fastest, all while telling users not to explicitly trust it. One Microsoft exec recently made the claim “Sometimes [the AI] will get it right, but otherwise it gets it usefully wrong.”

“Let’s think about what Tesla did.” Khan said. “When they released self-driving cars, people paid for the privilege of testing something that could run you into a wall at 80 miles an hour.”

Khanmigo is broken up into both teacher and student activities. If a student asks the Algebra program to answer a simple problem like “3x+7(X-4)=5” the AI will first ask the student to break down the problem into steps, first by simplifying the expression on the left, and so on. Other activities want to “ignite your curiosity” on subjects like American History. A practice AP exam on psychology asked who the “father of modern psychology” is and though most people would assume Sigmund Freud, the system emphatically answers its actually Wilhelm Wundt, the first to establish a psychology lab in the University of Leipzig in the late 19th century.

In the end, Khan said he imagines an AI-based system that works like an all-in-one teaching and learning tool. An educator could ask their class to get on their laptops to use the AI to assist them when writing an essay. If a student goes off on their own to get another AI-like ChatGPT to write the essay for them, a teacher would be able to tell by the chat logs that the student didn’t do any of the work like they were supposed to. It could be away to get around the ongoing fears of using AI to cheat in the classroom.

Khan said their system has an extra layer of checks for both science and math questions. When the AI gets an answer wrong or misunderstands a question, users are expected to give it a thumbs down.

And will it get things wrong? Rarely, but OpenAI has said that the system will get it wrong sometimes. And that is a problem, but is it more accurate or less deranged than a Google search can be? Khan thinks the hardest part will be continuing to refine the model, but also somehow convince people to be more skeptical and unwilling to call the AI an “authoritative” source.

Bom dia!

Por: Fred Borges com participação e colaboração de Sal Khan- fundador da Kahn Academy.

Faça parte do Clube de Leitura e contribua para ter cultura, afinal se raiz não há insumos, sem insumos não há propósitos em viver!!!55 71 984010101 ou fredborges98@ gmail.com

Inconsistência de dados- Vc caiu na malha fina!!!!

É preciso lembrar de um passado para dar valor ao presente!

É preciso viver os extremos e não ser extremista!

É preciso não esquecer que a raízes( propósitos) é que fazem a árvore viver!

Liberdade é um sentimento que brota daqueles que foram aprisionados, enjaulados( BBB23), mumificados, enterrados por pessoas, produtos, processos,emoções tão sistemáticas, pessimistas e negativas que a única salvação foi se abrigar da torrente dos sentimentos tão radicais, que o mínimo-máximo que fizeram foi se abrigarem em algum lugar da mente, para simplesmente sempre lembrar de esquecer, e esquecendo-se de si, sol viria ao amanhecer!

O que a educação como palavra de múltiplos significados faz, mas deverei me ater o sistema educacional é prover pessoas de condições básicas de sobrevivência, e isto é o principal objetivo e papel do sistema educacional, formar, não formatar, fazer nascer a raiz da árvore contida em todas os seres humanos; a questão, questionamento, recurso que depende da seiva, dos insumos, das pragas, dos defensivos, do planejamento estratégico, da defesa, da luta, das táticas de conquista, manutenção, agremiação, agregação, riqueza em qualidade de vida!

Porém nosso sistema educacional público ou privado é de maneira geral para fazer ás pessoas de elos de produção em massa, não há o fundamental sem o básico!

Mas o passado é esquecido a cada geração, repetem-se erros fundamentais, médios e superiores no sistema educacional e gerações são afeitas e afetadas pelas deficientes dados, informações, conhecimentos, logo elas terão cada vez menos o poder de decidir entre a efetividade e afetividade; o eficiente e deficiente, o competente e o incopetente, o competitivo, produtivo,comparativo, num somatório que gera a competitividade de uma nação.

Se queres ser rico conviva com os ricos; em cultura, mentalidade, educação, saúde, segurança( e este último tem sido um ciclo vicioso daqueles que deveriam prover segurança " negociam" insegurança, num ciclo vicioso que a sociedade está sempre " pronta" a consumir e consumir-se!

Segundo Sal Khan fundador da Khan Academy, em artigo para o complexo midiático do New York Times:

"Education was in crisis even before the pandemic.

In 2018, data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (pisa) showed that 50% of students across 24 countries were not proficient in maths.

Since the pandemic hit, multiple studies have shown that sporadic access to learning over the past two and a half years has made the situation even worse.

This is not just an intellectual debate about declining test scores.

It is a leading indicator of hundreds of millions of young people not being able to lead purposeful lives that allow them to participate in the economy and society as a whole.

What is more, a less educated population is one that is more susceptible to instability and demagoguery, which harms everyone."

Traduzindo( por este escritor):

"A educação( Sistemas Educacionais dentre eles o do Brasil), já estava em crise antes mesmo da pandemia.

Em 2018, dados do Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (pisa) mostraram que 50% dos estudantes em 24 países não eram proficientes em matemática.

Desde o início da pandemia, vários estudos mostraram que o acesso esporádico ao aprendizado nos últimos dois anos e meio piorou ainda mais a situação.

Este não é apenas um debate intelectual sobre a queda nas notas dos testes. É um indicador importante de centenas de milhões de jovens que não conseguem levar uma vida com propósito que lhes permita participar da economia e da sociedade como um todo.

Além disso, uma população menos instruída é aquela mais suscetível à instabilidade e à demagogia, que prejudica a todos."

Propósito,instabilidade, demagogia que prejudica a todos!!!

É preciso não cair na malha fina!
