(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”   Content from the Duct Taper Community This Week’s Apple Podcast Reviews: SHS tech Guy, WindyDaze   No #EduDuctTape FlipGrid Responses this week   Favorite #EduDuctTape Tweets: (each handle is linked to the mentioned tweet)   @WadeTechnology @toddytd @Mo_physics @Creeds_Crew New #EduDuctTape Tweeps: @AndersonEdTech, @daringuybrarian, @dkreiness, @EDUcre8ive, @EduFuturists, @KristaHach
