Our next blog: Safe and Responsible Ways Adults Can Use AI Tools
AI tools can help us practise writing, explore ideas and understand information. But they can also give wrong answers, repeat unfair ideas and put private information at risk. Learning to use them safely means knowing when they can help and when to stop, check or ask a person.
Safe AI use is not about trusting technology more. It is about building the skills and confidence to decide when to use it, when to question it and when to ask a person for help.

Here is our next blog: How to Explain Artificial Intelligence to Adult Learners

Artificial intelligence, or AI, can feel like a big and confusing topic. Many people hear about AI in the news, see it online, or worry about how it may affect jobs and daily life. Some learners may have tried a chatbot. Others may say, “I do not use AI.”

But many adult learners are already encountering AI every day.

AI can influence the products people see while shopping online. It can help choose videos or posts on social media. It may be part of online banking, customer-service chats, travel apps, maps, job-search websites, translation tools, and information searches.

For adult literacy practitioners, the goal does not need to be teaching technical terms or turning learners into AI experts. A better starting point is helping learners notice AI, ask questions, protect their information, and make informed choices.

Truth and reconciliation is not something that can be marked by a single day. It is an ongoing commitment to learning the truth, listening to Indigenous voices, and understanding the history and experiences that have shaped communities across Canada.

Today, MTML honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, and the families and communities who continue to carry their stories and experiences.

We recognize that meaningful reconciliation requires continued reflection and action. This includes making space to learn from Indigenous Peoples, supporting Indigenous-led work, and considering how each of us can contribute to respectful relationships and stronger communities.

Today, we remember.
We listen.
We continue learning.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

Today, MTML celebrated International Literacy Day online, and we’re still thinking about the learning journeys shared with us.

We heard stories of hard work, persistence, and progress. There were smiles, tears of joy, and moments that reminded us why learning matters.

To every learner who shared their journey: thank you. Your determination deserves to be celebrated. To the instructors who support learners every step of the way: thank you for your patience, care, and hard work. These stories remind us why adult learning opportunities matter. Learning does not have an expiry date. Every adult deserves the chance to build skills, pursue goals, and take a next step that matters to them—with support and encouragement along the way.

On behalf of Metro Toronto Movement for Literacy, congratulations to all the learners and instructors we celebrated today. We’re grateful we could share this moment with you.
