• 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

 

• Knowbe4.com

 

• Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers by Mike Caulfield - webliteracy.pressbooks.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”
