Mike Caulfield Smart Talk Truth is in the Network

Mike Caulfield Smart Talk Truth is in the Network | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.projectinfolit.org - May 31, 2019 7:02 PM

Mike Caulfield’s Twitter profile states he is “radically rethinking how information literacy is taught.” He has had a lot of experience doing just that since he first designed educational games, created educational wikis, and co-founded a 5,000-member online community, Blue Hampshire. He took his interests in civic media to positions as an instructional designer at Keene State College and as the director for the OpenCourseWare Consortium at MIT before becoming a national figure in promoting a practical and effective approach to digital literacy.

So what’s different with our approach? Well, our four moves—which we now refer to by the acronym SIFT—move students from a recognition heuristic to networked reputation heuristics, and from thinking about to doing. The moves are:

  • (S)top.
  • (I)nvestigate the source.
  • (F)ind better coverage.
  • (T)race claims, quotes, and media to the original context.

The “Always Check” Approach to Online Literacy

The “Always Check” Approach to Online Literacy | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From hapgood.us - August 22, 2018 4:34 PM
One of the things I’ve been trying to convince people for the past year and a half is that the only viable literacy solution to web misinformation involves always checking any information in your stream that you find interesting, emotion-producing, or shareable. It’s not enough to check the stuff that is suspicious: if you apply your investigations selectively, you’ve already lost the battle.

Critical digital literacy: ten key readings for our distrustful media age | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From blogs.lse.ac.uk - December 17, 2017 2:43 PM
Misinformation and distrust are the characteristic of our time. They make the question of how to approach and promote critical digital literacy particularly important. Gianfranco Polizzi suggests ten texts that offer a framework for thinking about how to do it.

While it has proved a useful concept during the past 20 years, the notion of ‘critical digital literacy’ requires re-thinking in light of the fast-changing nature of young people’s digital practices. This paper contrasts long-established notions of ‘

Teacher's Guide to Assessing Credibility of Online Resources | Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - January 16, 2014 3:38 PM

Internet has definitely marked a revolution in the way human knowledge is being generated, shared, communicated, and stored. The answer to almost any question is available within seconds, courtesy of the invention that has altered how we discover knowledge – the search engine. With this abundance of online information comes the question of credibility.

Flexible learning publication highlighting new pedagogical ideas launched

From www.heacademy.ac.uk - November 13, 2013 4:22 AM

Flexibility should be seen as a skill in its own right, rather than simply as an inclusive method of teaching in higher education.

This is just one of the findings from the most recent report on flexible learning by the Higher Education Academy (HEA). Flexible pedagogies: new pedagogical ideas, also found that developments in information technology appear to have a dual, even contradictory, influence on learning and teaching innovation. Flexible learning initiatives that use IT to enable deeper changes to learning and teaching practice have far greater credibility with academic staff and therefore will achieve more traction for embedding change at an institutional level.

What is Fake News? Is Debate Worth the Effort?

What is Fake News? Is Debate Worth the Effort? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.psychologytoday.com - April 20, 2019 1:43 PM

Fake news has become today’s political phrase du jour.

According to researchers at Syracuse University and Arizona State University who study this phenomenon, the explosive growth of fake news is “eroding democracy, justice, and public trust” (Zhou, et al. 2019).

The term, a favorite of President Donald Trump, is becoming so popular that often when a person does not agree with or refuses to debate someone else’s claims, fake news is alleged. End of discussion.

Not surprisingly, the term is popping up in classrooms and playgrounds, as children mimic their parents or the politicians they see on television. This is alarming to educators whose goal is to teach children to critically think about the world and weigh evidence before drawing conclusions.

5 Dimensions Of Critical Digital Literacy: A Framework

5 Dimensions Of Critical Digital Literacy: A Framework | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - January 11, 2018 3:02 PM
Digital Literacy is increasingly important in an age where many students read as much on screens as they do from books.

In fact, the very definition of many of these terms is changing as the overlap across media forms increases. Interactive eBooks can function like both long-form blogs and traditional books. Threaded email can look and function like social media. Email and texting and social media messaging are increasingly similar.
