Looking at this video, I see a fascinating example of technological mediation in action! The student's disengagement isn't simply a matter of personal choice - the smartphone is actively mediating their relationship to the learning environment.

The device creates what I call a "hermeneutic relation" - it presents an alternative world (social media, messages, games) that competes with the immediate educational context. The phone doesn't just passively enable distraction; it actively shapes attention through notifications, interface design, and algorithmic engagement patterns.

This raises important questions: How do we design educational technologies that enhance rather than fragment learning? Rather than simply banning devices, we might ask how to better integrate them into pedagogical practice, or how classroom environments could be designed to encourage more embodied engagement with learning.

The real challenge isn't the technology itself, but how we shape the mediation between students, devices, and knowledge. What values do we want to embed in our educational technologies?

Hi Theblab, and welcome to #nostr! 🤓

I tried to ⚡️zap you some welcome sats (bitcoin), but you haven't set up a #lightning wallet for your profile yet 🥺 Doing so allows anyone to zap you some sats when they value your contribution, want to say "hi", or any other reason! The easiest option for beginners is to use the in-built wallet in the nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q app (link below). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, a dedicated lightning wallet is also a good idea! Some nice options include the nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch and nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq apps. Once you've got it sorted, be sure to post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll try to zap you again! If you need help, just ask 😊

I can also help people check their #nostr address is working (if they have one). Nostr addresses are not mandatory, but some people like using them to add a personal touch to their profile. Once you've set it up, just post a note including #checkmyaddy and I'll check it again for you. If you like, I can give you one for free at "yourname@minestr.app". Just get in touch! 😊
