Canada tables the The Safe Social Media Act in Bill C-34It needs to be approved by both the House of Commons and the SenateUnder-16s would be banned from social media platforms There’s an increasing realization that social media isn’t particularly healthy for younger children, and a growing number of governments are now taking legislative action in response, with Canada the latest country to move to ban access to social media platforms for under-16s. This is being done via the The Safe Social Media Act (via Engadget), put forward by the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture Marc Miller. The Act describes “growing risks” for young people that are “real, measurable, and increasing” — including negative effects on mental health, cyberbullying, and sexual abuse. The Act also flags up AI as driving changes in “how harmful content is created, amplified, and experienced online”. The Canadian government posits that the algorithms and engagement-baiting of social media platforms, together with […]

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional methodology centered around the active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. Unlike traditional, teacher-centered approaches that primarily focus on the passive absorption of information, PBL engages students as active participants in their own learning. Central to PBL is the organization of curriculum around complex, authentic questions or tasks, which require sustained inquiry, collaboration, and critical thinking. Throughout a PBL unit, students drive learning by investigating open-ended questions, designing solutions, and presenting their findings to actual audiences, often mirroring scenarios and workflows found in real professions. The effectiveness of Project-Based Learning is supported by research in the cognitive and learning sciences. Studies indicate that PBL improves deeper understanding of content, long-term retention, and the ability to transfer knowledge across contexts. By requiring students to research, synthesize, and apply concepts rather than simply memorize facts, PBL nurtures skills such as collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, which are highly valued in modern education and the […]
