- Which of the following is less torturous? (Would you rather?)
- Question #1: How can we help students develop a skeptic's mindset?
- Why develop a skeptic's mindset?
- Spearphishing Emails
-
- Marshall McLuhan - "One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with."
- Filter Bubbles
- Confirmation Bias
- Fake News
- Ernest Hemingway - "The essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, ******** detector."
- Strategies:
-
- Bringing in real-world examples
- "How to Charge an iPod using electrolytes and an onion" YouTube Video - youtube.com/watch?v=GfPJeDssBOM
- Discussing Believability & Bias
- Lateral Reading - thinking more about the source than the content - moving from page to page to research WHO is saying this and why they might say it
- "Think about the messenger." - Alec
- Zen Moments - "My Favorite Liar" - zenmoments.org/my-favorite-liar
- Having students find the fake sites out of a collection of fake and real ones to develop their strategies for site evaluation
- Discussion of available fake sites & the CRAAP Test on #EduDuctTape S1E08 - directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/8626889
- Catfishing schemes - "trust" schemes
- Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers by Mike Caulfield - webliteracy.pressbooks.com
- Edit any Website bookmarklet - kopywritingkourse.com/edit-any-website-free-tool
- Vote on "which website is the fake one?"
-
- Do a Mentimeter poll to see how effectively students identify the fake site - Mentimeter.com
- Question #2 : How can we teach (digital) citizenship in authentic ways?
- Having a POSITIVE Digital Footprint
- Students as creators
- Sharing within the classroom with tools like Flipgrid
- Sharing outside of the classroom with tools like digital portfolios
- "How can we thin the walls for students over time?"
- "How are you doing learning in these spaces?"
- Digital Portfolio options that Alec mentioned:
-
- Seesaw - web.Seesaw.me
- Wordpress - Wordpress.com
- Blogger - Blogger.com
- Google Sites - Sites.Google.com
- Supporting students and young adults in developing their own spaces on the web that can craft their own identity
- Helping kids assimilate to sharing within walled gardens in school to support them when they have the chance to do it in their lives.
- Helping kids understand the "why" of what we share and who we share it with
- Context collapse
- Stop instilling so much fear of isolated online mistakes - "help students do and share so much positive that it drowns their negative mistakes out"
