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.

The Difference Between Open-Minded and Close-Minded People

The Difference Between Open-Minded and Close-Minded People | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.farnamstreetblog.com - October 3, 2017 2:31 PM
The rate at which you learn and progress in the world depends on how willing you are to weigh the merit of new ideas, even if you don’t instinctively like them. Perhaps especially if you don’t like them.

Bursting the Filter Bubble: Pro-Truth Librarians in a Post-Truth World

Bursting the Filter Bubble: Pro-Truth Librarians in a Post-Truth World | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.libfocus.com - December 1, 2016 4:14 PM

Guest post by Claire McGuinness , assistant professor in the School of Information & Communication Studies , UCD.


Depending on your perspective, the social media chickens have been either coming home to roost, or learning to soar recently. For information professionals, these are fascinating times. While the world has been contemplating the unprecedented results of the Brexit referendum in June and the recent US Presidential election, the simmering debate around the influence of social networking sites such as Facebook on the outcomes of elections and referendums has reached boiling point over the past few weeks. The outcome in both cases, which was the opposite to what was predicted by multiple polls, has led to suggestions that the polling systems seriously underestimated a number of factors, including the “power of alt-right news sources and smaller conservative sites that largely rely on Facebook to reach an audience” (Solon, 2016), and failed to take into account the deep polarisation that has been evident on social media sites, in particular.

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

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.

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.

Hoaxy: How claims spread online

Hoaxy: How claims spread online | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From hoaxy.iuni.iu.edu - January 3, 2017 4:28 PM

From the website: "Hoaxy visualizes the spread of claims and related fact checking online. A claim may be a fake news article, hoax, rumor, conspiracy theory, satire, or even an accurate report. Anyone can use Hoaxy to explore how claims spread across social media."

Mary Reilley Clark's curator insight, January 3, 2017 3:28 PM

An interesting site to explore with students. It works best when you can compare a claim and fact check as one data set. When I looked at the claim and fact check on "Obama signs Christmas bill making alternative media illegal," the data showed how the claim appeared and was shared for two days before any fact checking was shared. That alone could be a great discussion point for students. Share the quote often attributed to Winston Churchill: "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on," or the updated versions in this New York Times headline: "A Lie Races Across Twitter Before the Truth Can Boot Up." (And that four year old article is also a fine one to add to your fake news discussion!)
Nancy Jones's curator insight, January 9, 2017 10:00 AM
this provides an interesting visual to begin a conversation regarding fake news.
