If you don’t increase the media literacy rate, our society will collapse. hear? It cannot make it miserable. I saw the trend of incorrect devils and fake information from a place with a good view of teachers, parents, daughters, and community members. I can see the large and small methods full of information without deep dive, which can lead to opinions that are not strongly embraced among people of all ages. Many different value systems and political background people shoot social media videos as a fact that there is no room for discussion, and verify what they resonate with existing concepts. I have seen We cannot get the truth based on the atmosphere.
What is media literacy?
The National Media Literacy Education Association (NAMLE) defines the ability to “access, analyze, evaluate, create, and act” using all kinds of communication. In many cases, it is used to discuss the online format of the media, but you can also see non -digital format. To me, the ease of internet discussion and sharing seems to be the biggest danger of inference. Humans have never accessed so much different information.
I saw my son said that what I saw on YouTube is in “News Channel” and must be true. After spending time on Facebook, I see people who seem to change their value system. This occurs as an eerie mob’s idea that someone can hit when someone is in the room alone. Confirmation bias has been extended RAMP, where it is politically standing or withstanding social issues. Because of the lot of information, you can find quotes, statistics, or articles to back up almost all stances. When you check the facts, you tend to find out what you want to control. We all think we are right.
The truth is difficult to find.
I noticed that the previous shortcuts were outside the window, who knew that they were the parents of teenage young people and as a younger child teacher to help their children navigate online information. Ta. The ability to manipulate photos, videos, audio clips, and text has been very quick, so the possibility that once a week end of the unit, a certain trick to miss “fake news” will be outdated. There is. Deep fake, AI -created sound bit, and logo can be used to the most familiar digital citizen questions.
To be honest, no one needs to work hard to fool us. In a study led by Educational Psychologist Dr. Sam Wineberg, high school students asked about various videos and websites. Zara Abrams writes for the American Psychological Society Monitor psychiatry“Reported”More than half of the research students showed voting, showing voting, photography in Russia, and believed that Facebook video, which appears to have been posted anonymously, is a “powerful evidence” of US voter fraud.“When people say,” I read the article, “they have a joke that they mean” I saw Tactoku. ” We incorporate what we are looking at at face value.
That’s all of us.
Many of what I said here is not groundbreaking. We all know what the Internet is thinking, and intend to intend to be incorrect information (this is incorrect or incorrect) and fake information (intentionally misunderstanding or wrong) I know that I am intended to be in the intention of being there.
Still, I think this is happening somewhere for others and others. We do not understand that our sweet neighbor truly believes that a political person has swore thousands of babies. We do not dream that our intelligent uncle will fall into a scam of fear Mail from a fake e -mail address. We are not responsible for the same kind of open mind and fact confirmation as requesting people who think different from us.
These are all overwhelmingly overwhelming as the huge amount of information. After I heard my acquaintance, I felt that Donald Trump was the most candidate candidate, right? I wanted to shout, “It’s not obvious!” But the truth did not know what his exact policy on abortion was. In my head, Trump is bad, and the right of abortion is good, so they won’t meet. Now I believe that taking the role of Trump is not a victory of abortion right. However, my acquaintance had an off -hand comment that was not actually based. And my “obvious” reaction was actually based on. We cannot get the truth based on the atmosphere.
how do you know?
Don’t suddenly question whether you agree with Donald Trump’s policy. I did my research, and I was uncomfortable with him as a person, based on the words he said and the people who laughed. But if I want my children, neighbors, and colleagues check their source of information, I would have to do the same. I started to be small, “How do you know?” It works for everything. When my son confidently describes the “facts” obtained from Tactoku’s video, or when someone makes a sneaky claim such as “immigration is doing all our work” Is already easy to ask this question. It’s difficult to ask yourself when talking about what I believe in, like evil dietary culture and the broken US education system. how do you know? What is your source? What is the fact? You can’t get the truth based on the atmosphere!
What now?
“”how do you know? I’m not going to save the world. It is a jump off point. If you verify the source and acknowledge that you need to back up your claim, you will start searching for those answers as quickly as you shared infographic and sneaky messages before. When this truth is settled, the children can help them understand that they need a strong foundation of media literacy to survive the increased information network that continues to hit the brain with a clickbait heading. These skills need to be explicitly taught together with mathematics and reading.
Some organizations jump in an incredible lesson to maintain the framework of the question and to help you check the information as easily as the young man shares something in the Instagram story. Masu.
As a media specialist, I always worship common sense education, but recently, Civic online inference, media and information literacy, and media literacy have appeared in my radar. These resources can help stakeholders share lessons and prioritize the education of educational system media literacy. JD, a member of the 23rd District in California, and JD, a lawyer who supports the State digital literacy law, said, “I can’t return to school to forced media literacy, but at least, We can confirm that we can confirm the skills of today.
So go back to my original declaration. Is the lack of media literacy really terrible? Ask Dr. Samwineberg, a co -founder of the digital research group. In an article titled that our democracy is in danger, he states: There is no more information as in our fingertips today. Whether this grace gets us wiser and better information, or whether or not to deprive us of an ignorant and narrow heart depends on our educational response to this task. ”
It almost all summarizes it. Are you overwhelmed? Make it simple. “How do you know?” And do your best.
