How Digital Literacy Sets You Up for Success and Ways to Improve It – | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Understanding your way around technology improves your chances in life. Digital literacy doesn’t mean reading a book online. The only difference between reading a physical book and reading online is a page versus a screen. There’s little learning in that because anyone can do it.

7 Poor Thinking Habits We Must Fix to Think More Critically

7 Poor Thinking Habits We Must Fix to Think More Critically | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

At one time or another we have all engaged in poor thinking habits. After all, nobody’s perfect and neither is anybody’s thinking. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t get better at it and start thinking more critically. It’s worth our time to seek ways of improving our thinking and to guide our learners to do the same.

 

Poor thinking habits refer to the ways of thinking that produce adverse effects in every part of our lives. They can negatively affect our personal progress, our relationships, and everyone around us. But they do much more than that, actually. Not only do they affect the outside world, but they do damage from within as well. In the long run poor thinking can affect our self-esteem, our ability to cope with challenges, and even our physical health.

We work on most of these in our library. I'm not convinced middle schoolers need to brand themselves, but we do talk about how to present your authentic self online. This article includes different sites to build each of the skills, which I appreciate. I'm always telling students the skill is what's important, not the specific site they use.
