“It would be odd if TikTok consumption was not having an effect on younger people’s perceptions of the war,” @uwcip research scientist @mikecaulfield told Gizmodo. “I don’t think there’s any doubt it has an impact. But it’s a long leap from there to claiming that this is due to specific suppression of content. There are just so many other possibilities.”

I used ChatGPT to create a custom formula in Google Sheets to compare email addresses of students in my classes this year who need a Minecraft Education account, to those setup last year, so I could ask my IT department to just setup NEW accounts: http://wfryer.me/44x
Eric Curts @ericcurts is remarkable for so many reasons as an educator & educational technology #edtech / #googleEDU expert. One of them is the generous & comprehensive way he shares resources from all his sessions! Check out everything Eric is sharing this year at #ISTE23!
@ct_bergstrom I recommend ignoring vitriolic drivel like that message & not giving it oxygen. We do need to be aware of the darkness in the world, but we need to be careful not to over-amplify it in our quest to fill our lives with more messages reflecting kindness / "the good" rather than evil. This is a difficult line to walk when it comes to media literacy education, I think. #MediaLit
LATERAL READING is a key skill to encourage and teach, we know from research this WORKS
Also “pre-bunking” (saying “these are the kinds of memes / tropes you are likely to see…”)
My thought: HYPERLINKED WRITING! We need students to regularly engage in LATERAL READING & then include their hyperlinks to other sources about that source / additional sources.
Also: We need more databases of actual election-related advertisements used on Facebook and other social media platforms to use in comparative lessons / case studies. Jevin West @jevinwest referenced NYU Ad Observatory https://adobservatory.org/ which resulted in litigation from Facebook.
