FreeQUADRIVIUM 3: Essential Digital Skills for Living and Learning in the Age of Fake News and Unfettered Speech
Facilitator: Linda Sautereau/Peggy Daniels-Lee
Assistant: Wisdomseeker
Transcriptionist: TBD
With the polarization of ideas posted in social media and personal blogs, it has become more difficult to use the Internet for teaching and learning. The International Society for Technology in Education has for years proposed dedicated curricula that focus on the digital citizen: skills that include being safe online, securing your digital footprint, and how to critically evaluate the content we read online. This discussion will focus on the skills and practical strategies that both students and educators can employ to engage in positive and productive discourse that moves beyond what is fake and what is polarizing.
