In a world that trusts technology and often ignores the presence of someone online until it’s too late. You must be aware and digitally literate to travel through the wild jungle that is the internet in the 21st century. It can be as simple as building connections between people, ideas, and information for early elementary students because their whole lives have been on the global web, from baby showers to the next trend on TikTok. As such, they have been exposed to the hoax of misinformation that misleads people to gain new views financially and politically. One of the examples I can think of is videos announcing fast-food restaurants from the United States were coming to Canada, and most of them weren’t since there were no sources for them after a simple Google search. Another is the thought that Fake News can only exist in Right-Wing media after Donald Trump’s win presidential win in 2016 and a month ago in November 2024, but this is a lie and an example of implicit bias with the attitudes that impact our thinking manners.

I think anyone should figure out the difference between headlines and journalistic storytelling, how politics changes the likelihood of Media Bias, always question, figure out if the pictures are real since you don’t want BigFoot to be stomping around your digital footprint, and be engaged in different perspectives or worldviews to be culturally informed. In support of these causes, you should listen and change because the Backfire effect is really, and it might get back at you with this too-good-for-school attitude. We react to the physical and emotional learning of intelligence as a predator since our core beliefs don’t want to be challenged due to constituency with the world around us.
I would show this comic without the language obstinacies as a starting point for the NCTE Framework and focal points in How Do We Teach Students to Identify Fake News because these forms of storytelling make learning fun. It would align with ELA 4’s comparison and response to appropriate grade-level texts for social responsibility or even identity to how people learn online. Do learners use a variety of tools effectively and efficiently?: creativity and critical thinking should be applied through video programs and other apps to showcase the capability of supporting an evolving place like the genres of a book. These will surely help them succeed in citing reliable sources (NOT USING WIKIPEDIA!!!) and can done through communication tasks like group presentations.
Inclusion is my priority, and they should be aware of how our province consumes, curates, and creates multimedia works. It could be done through Social Studies Power & Authority outcomes rules, laws, and responsibilities related to Mike Ribble’s Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship. Teachers could use a booklet as an engaging and fun activity to inform students about the harms of fake news. Videos are a great tool, with PBS having a whole learning section on specific grade-level resources dedicated to lifelong knowledge, leadership, and unique ways to develop confidence in safe technology usage. I would also like to do a weekly exploration of the news with tools like the New York Times Student News Quizs to keep them informed on current public opinions because it has always been on my mind, even though everyone says the news is negative.
In Health Education 4, a significant focus is on digital safety in various situations and strategies to overcome them with the behaviour that causes harm to be done. For example, it wants students to examine prior knowledge and new information related to safety (including cyber safety). It is also essential to discuss how electronic networks could be used ethically and safely because they can impact the health of future generations of digital learners.
What do you think about these pressing issues in Educational Technology and Media? It prepares us to be aware of the discovery of information in a quickly changing world that might be more disinformed with artificial intelligence. Educationally, we, as future educators, have a role in using the resources mentioned above to bring justice to the curriculum and reassurance that no one falls for misinformation without the proper moral guidance beforehand. Will you walk with us and continue the fight for digital literacy in our unjust society? I hope so… Thanks for reading this EDTC 300 post, and have a wonderful day!
