CHAT QUESTIONS:

YOU’VE BEEN FAKED: UNCOVERING TRUTH ONLINE THROUGH DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

1. What is fake news?

2. Why do people make fake news? What do you think is their purpose?

3. What makes fake news online so believable?

4. How to you evaluate a website to detect fake news?

5. Responsibility is the ability to respond to a situation. What can you do if you find fake news online?

*These same 5 questions will be used for the Slow Chat all month long. Where necessary, questions have been reworded for younger Tweeters. We recommend classes spend time answering the questions ahead of time so time during the chat can be spent liking tweets, retweeting, quoting tweets in reply, and collaborating with others.

New Lit Bits

Let today mark the day that I’m back and excited to begin sharing my experiences and learning in education once again. The nature of my workload this year has proven to be exceptionally challenging, but my passion for blogging has been reignited by a new series I will be starting in the coming weeks.

The series is titled New Lit Bits. These Bits will be short blog posts that will address each expectation in the Ontario Language Arts Curriculum and include ideas and tips about how we leverage digital technologies in rich and meaningful ways to teach these expectations in online learning environments.

Stay tuned!
