EdTechSandyK: Trying to Ban Facebook is Not the Answer...

EdTechSandyK: Trying to Ban Facebook is Not the Answer... | Responsible Digital Citizenship | Scoop.it

When I first read and watched a news story about this Florida charter school's letter to parents encouraging them to get their kids off of Facebook because of the problems social media activities were causing during the school day, it got me thinking. I wondered what would make a school even venture this request in our social media saturated society. And I remembered this wasn't the first time I had heard of such a request from school administration. What is going on here?

8 Must-Have Skills for Spotting Misinformation for 21st Century Students

8 Must-Have Skills for Spotting Misinformation for 21st Century Students | Responsible Digital Citizenship | Scoop.it

"A 21st century skill that all students need badly is the ability to spot misinformation. As educators, we desperately need to do as Loren Collins states in her book, Bullspotting: Finding Facts in the Age of Misinformation. We need to "arm our students with baloney-detecting tools to prevent false and unsupported beliefs so that such beliefs can be better contained." In other words, 21st century educators need to equip our students with "baloney-detection" skills."


Via John Evans
EdTechSandyK's insight:

From the Blog: "In the 21st century, we as educators have a moral imperative to make sure our students are equipped with proper "baloney-detection tools" so that they can avoid being mislead and misguided in a flood of information."


Based on the "facts" I see my adult friends posting on Facebook all the time, these are must-have skills for EVERYONE, and it is essential teachers become better bullspotters so they may pass those skills along to their students.
