@MsBetsyMcCombs Building language skills for discussion is so important and many students (and adults) are not adept at this. I have even seen it at faculty meetings.

When going back to my room today, I saw a member of our group standing in front of her class and all had their phones out. I couldn't help but wonder if she was doing something from this book? #sau24bookchat

@SarahG35406249 That would be a great activity for a faculty PD meeting. Many teachers are busy trying to cover their curriculum and often don't take the time to teach students to be good citizens of the world.

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

A8. I totally agree that preparing students for a test is important, but I will strive to prepare them for before and after a test as well. What matters most is to prepare good citizens and learning some of the skills in this book is a step in the right direction. #sau24bookchat

@KatharineGadwah I also like Bill F's three questions. It would be good to put these on a poster or something that students can refer to in the classroom. It is quick and easy. Adults like quick and easy, too.

I really could relate to p. 117, with the quote from Valenza's blog regarding filtering "real information from partisan noise." It was a lot to sift through and I almost got sick of reading & hearing about it during the 2016 election. #sau24bookchat

@bethlby72 @LibrarianDebi I notice that many of my friends on FB use it as well, especially when someone posts either fake news or something dubious. I have used it a few times.

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@Mhsatclibrary @CommonSense I honestly got a bit overwhelmed looking at all these resources. I probably should have just looked at the high school ones.

A-6 I love the visual reminder of Literacy Tips for the Notification Generation. I think this would benefit most visual learners , so I think students would heed the reminders for awhile. If I were a classroom teacher, I would invite my librarian in often. #sau24bookchat

@SarahG35406249 I think that one is a bit insulting. That seems to be what little children think. Someone tried to trick me into looking at an udder (saying it had a star on it)when he was milking. Fortunately, I didn't fall for the milk in the face trick. Clickbait!

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@hfc57 I think I might ask my advisory students to look at these. When asked, most get their news from CNN, WMUR or other news stations. It would be interesting to see how they do spotting the fakes. They are open to trying new things.

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

A-5. This was a fun chapter. I think I missed 3 on the self assessment. It was relatively easy to spot some of the misleading statistics. I do not use my phone for news at all. I much prefer my laptop - old eyes, maybe. #sau24bookchat

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@RandyBrooker2 Yes, we do seem to feed our own beliefs, either in the books we choose or social media.

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@lprewandowski Actually, I discovered a new bias recently when talking to a teen. I realized I had to try and see her point of view. She taught me something new, and that was the intention.

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

A-4. Reflection is the most difficult because of time and the fact that I am not certain all students can effectively reflect. That might require some modeling. #sau24bookchat

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@pseudandry Yes, they should. It often seems like everything moves so fast - just 10 years ago, the media specialist was teaching lessons on how to evaluate a website. That seems long ago and inadequate!

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@pseudandry @jenniferlagarde @dhudgins @NJASL @NJPSA @njsba @NJEA @iste Isn't it ironic that the NHDOE does not really want us on social media?

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@greenmanchvegas To reflect and develop their own questions.

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

@greenmanchvegas We just completed a PD activity about Disrupting Reading and the authors also stated that people tend to read books that confirm what they know or believe! Very similar!

[Sue R-D @SueRD5]

A-3. What surprised me (and shouldn't have) was about students not seeking news but "discovering" news on their social media sites. They do actually discuss what they have discovered. #sau24bookchat
