The ELT Buzz Digest - October 6th
All the "buzz" in English language teaching this week
Dear Subscribers,
Find loads of “buzz” below. Something for everyone, this week.
My thought for this week is first about Jane Goodall. An angel of hope - her message that we must live in harmony with the earth, respecting other lifeforms, is a much needed tonic these days where AI is throwing both the baby and the clean bath water out the window, in gross fashion. This article by Corey Doctorow is bang on with the metaphor;
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations
Let’s all take up the Jane Goodall Challenge and start doing a small part to live more in harmony with our precious natural environment. For our sake, for our kid’s sakes.
Regards,
David - ELT-Buzzer-In-Chief
