    Really? The biggest obstacles to kids achieving at school are the drill-and-skill curriculum, overstretched teachers, underresourced schools, an education system obsessed with rankings and targets, parents facing economic insecurity and politicians who prioritise short term gain

    The biggest obstacle to kids achieving at school is that smartphone. Like all diseases, it hits the poor first & hardest. I make the case here: standpointmag.co.uk/node/7088

    I love this. Dear parents, please ask these questions about the internet too - who are the people you feel safe with online; is there anything online you want to talk about; when was the last time you were happy online, etc etc.

    We asked young people what questions they wish their parents had asked them. This is what they said.

    So sad to hear that Jay Blumler has died. 34 years ago he examined my PhD. 26 years ago he changed my career by encouraging research on children. Then and since he mentored me, sang at my book launches, told me the truth when I needed it, and pushed me to be the best I could be.

    The panic about screen time is distracting people from asking thoughtful questions about what would we like our kids to do online... Let's switch the conversation away from hours of screen time and focus on the kinds of activities and how it makes us feel.

    For information sharing, Twitter is particularly important in the social sciences and humanities. Tweeting academic articles disseminates scholarly information to the public. Twitter has changed the way that scientific knowledge can be read and spread.

    Academic information on Twitter: A user survey
    Although counts of tweets citing academic papers are used as an informal indicator of interest, little is known about who tweets academic papers and who uses Twitter to find scholarly information....
