I thought of this media literacy slogan at our workshop today: “SIFT before you share!” (If you are not sure what SIFT means in the context of information and social media, Google “SIFT web literacy framework”)

“Traversal Competencies” in Finland. “Knowledge - skills - values - attitudes - will.” A very integrated / multi-disciplinary approach. Holistic. Very integrated. Very refreshing.

“You can’t fact check an opinion!” Basic exercises that help students / adults differentiate between fact vs. opinion statements can be helpful in developing media literacy.

Creating an atmosphere of trust is essential for dialog about media literacy, social media use with kids, etc. It’s important to recognize the big gaps / differences which exist now between news sources for older & younger generations, & talk about this together.

“SIFT before you SHARE”

(I think I like this slogan more than “Think More - Share Less”

My paraphrase: Students are not adept “digital natives” with respect to media literacy. When we ask them to verify information, they demonstrate very limited skills”
