Kavi Looks Back at Term 3

Kavi curled up in the reading nook with acorn tea and a fat notebook. "Look how much we learned to judge this term!" Kavi hooted, turning the pages. "We learned to weigh data — a number can be huge and still be unfair, because big data is not automatically fair: data that leaves a whole group out is biased. We learned to verify before we trust — check the source, the date, an independent source that agrees, and whether something could be AI-made, like a deepfake. We learned ethics — do your own honest work and acknowledge any help, give attribution for work you reuse, and ask for consent before sharing someone's data. And we learned about dignity — technology should treat every person as a person, worthy of respect, never just a data point." Kavi tapped the four headings. "Four big ideas: Data, Verification, Ethics and Dignity. Let's look back and make sure every one of them stuck."

3Judge the data, verify the claim, choose the honest wayA careful technologist can spot unfair data, run the checks on a claim, and make the honest choice. Work out each one, then reveal to check — and try the next.
4Misinformation, or disinformation?These two sound alike but are not the same. The difference is the intent — a mistake, or a deliberate trick.

A peek inside

A post brags: "2 million owls agree midnight snacks are best!" The small print says all 2 million were owls already queueing at the midnight buffet. Should you trust this data — and why?
a big number is not the same as a fair one — ask who was left out

Try this at home: Data that leaves a whole group out, giving a one-sided result, is called ____.
