If you teach development, the first thing you should be teaching… before HTML, CSS, JS, etc., is ETHICS.
Teach your students to avoid 3rd-party surveillance-based APIs/components. Teach them to de-centre themselves… to build tools owned and controlled by the people who use them.
@aral sooo
Is anyone here up to that challenge?
Like we could make a git repo or a google drive and make an ethics for programming class (curriculum, planning, or whatever)
We can, as a community, build a course and then students can maybe demand their schools teach it?
Is that possible? Should we give it a go?
@alexesc Hey Alex, I don’t have time to take part but sure, please do. Also take a look at what’s already out there first. (And, needless to say, don’t use Google surveillance machinery while creating it.) :)
@alexesc @aral spot the mistake here: "Like we could make a git repo or a google drive"
