How successful are our students at navigating the information that they encounter with their use of technology and digital platforms? Studies have shown that students are unable to differentiate between legitimate and "fake" news stories and often unable to identify advertising in their media streams. Media is changing, and so is literacy. Being literate in a society where information is so ubiquitous has taken on new meaning and requires new skills. We will review the mediums, platforms and formats widely encountered by our students to decide, what’s valuable about these platforms that we may be able to support and what skills and habits of mind need to be taught in order to help students navigate this complex information landscape. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL KNOW AND BE ABLE TO: (e.g., read, develop, demonstrate, practice, etc.) - Demonstrate an understanding of the digital media landscape - Develop activities for students to practice the skills needed to discern valid from invalid information - Practice Literacy and Guided Reading Strategies TOPICS INCLUDE: Literacy Strategies Sourcing Corroboration Contextualization Reading Informational Texts Dutchess BOCES is an approved Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) pursuant to Section 80-6 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education
