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

Edit any Website bookmarklet -
kopywritingkourse.com/edit-any-website-free-tool

Vote on “which website is the fake one?”



Do a Mentimeter poll to see how effectively students
identify the fake site - Mentimeter.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”
