ANU SHARMA from INDIA
Being a ICT educator in an Asian school in India, imparting education to a class of more than 40 students is really challenging, but having teaching as a passion and the zeal makes it all possible. #EdShareAsia
Hi #EdshareAsia participants! I’m Mio Horio teaching English at a high school in Japan. I integrate ICT tools with my English classes to broaden students’ mind and show the world.
Teach students to evaluate and question their sources. Students need to know the difference between a trustworthy and untrustworthy source.
#MSFTEduChat#EdShareAsia#TweetMeetPL
Push students to new levels of creativity.Once students have a deeper understanding of the answers they’ve found, push for creative application of that knowledge. This could be anything from challenging students to pose in digital platform

Teaching Digital Citizenship
Being a good digital citizen means understanding and applying appropriate and responsible uses of internet and technology. Two issues top the list when it comes to digital citizenship: academic plagiarism and cyberbullying.

@ContempoIssues#EdShareAsia A1. Today children are born into media, so there is no running away from digital media. So as educators it is our responsibility 2 teach children hw 2 make optimal usage of digital media while staying safe.
Ans1: @ThuyNguyen1202 Children should be advocated on regular intervals about the pros and cons. Infact the teacher should also be aware of the handy tips to be safe online. In my opinion and experience, accurate and advent use has positive effect in education.

@ContempoIssues#EdShareAsia A1. Visuals are often more powerful than words, the attached pix shows what we need to teach our children as digital citizens
Kids feel misrepresented by the news
Nearly 70% of the tweens and teens who took part in the survey said they feel that the media have no idea about the experiences of people their age.
#MSFTEduChat#EdShareAsia#TweetMeetPL
A1: Yes! We cannot teach something effectively if we do not know. Keeping ourselves updated on how our Ss use tech & being comfortable on what we know & don’t know abt tech. We should be willing to learn. #EdShareAsia
#EdShareAsia A -1 we are going to touch 21st centuries and make the world globalisation without digital experience as a teacher we can not handle our leaners ! TweetMeet also the one aspect of digital literacy’s output! Is not it?
Definitely yes - as it’s been said that teachers who don’t use techs will be replaced with those who use it. Teachers should have the knowledge and digital literacy to protect students’ privacy and how to use the digital tools effectively for learning. #EdShareAsia
A1 #EdshareAsia It will be needed as a new era of new generation We both need to learn together, both teachers and students because nobody face it before
Ans2: Ss to be guided by Ts and parents to understand the difference between speculation and fact. Also it can be done by 1. Bring social media into the classroom 2. Teach your students effective Google search skills 3. Showing your Ss how to evaluate the source
#EdShareAsia
Ans.1: @klnamya children's interests are inclined a lot towards technology in the present scenario.Thus, it's the need of the hour to captivate there interests via digital literacy making it a job requirement for educators.
#EdShareAsia
A2: The biggest harm occurs when it affects people’s lives directly. Living in a country with natural disasters, we often use SNS to collect information about the disaster area. But fake news often bring confusion and affects our life directly. #EdshareAsia
Fake or highly unreliable news stores are manufactured by partisan protagonists, or those who are out to make a quick buck, and distributed on social media, including Facebook and Twitter, now the primary source of news for many people.
#MSFTEduChat#EdShareAsia#tweetmeet
A1. It makes sense to assume that the more digitally literate our teachers are, the more they'll employ these skills in the classroom, which will in turn foster a strong sense of digital citizenship in our students. So digital literacy is must.
#EdShareAsia I am Nalini Srivastava,English and history teacher from northern https://t.co/hQpI3Pwgpz is challenging yet interesting as an Asian educator

I think you should absorb it and also see the other side of the argument. If you disagree, you can take it in and use it for your own knowledge,
Stop spreading Fake News
#MSFTEduChat#EdShareAsia#tweetmeet
A2: It divides society; to those who believe & those who don’t. History becomes contentious, when in fact it shouldn’t be, as it should be the truth. Don’t we owe our Ss that? #EdShareAsia
@ContempoIssues#EdShareAsia A2. Knowledge actually gives you power. So ss need a safe environment 4 guided practice in using digital media & this is possible only with a digitally literate guide/teacher

#EdShareAsia Teach how’s helpful the verity of ways of learning resources and all sites are not negative ! Always be positive, make sure the students understand what is benefits of social media or others link#MSFTEduChat
yes, fake news stories changes outlook of students towards government, education system, dignitaries, celebrities. At times it gives a setback to mentgal health of a person too #EdShareAsia
A.2 Oh I lot.fake news and all can have a very detrimental effect on https://t.co/JISK5Y1Mv1 forms or reforms their basic attitude and beliefs #EdShareAsia
In reply to

Q3: Considering the recent negative spin social media, how does your country’s education system or curriculum actively educate and promote your students against fake news, historical revisionism, and the culture of misinformation? @ContempoIssues#EdShareAsia
yes, fake news stories changes outlook of students towards government, education system, dignitaries, celebrities. At times it gives a setback to mental health of a person too #EdShareAsia
A2 Everything is going so fast and sometime so fake nowadays So before decided to believe or follow anything, critical thinking, analysis and evaluation skills should be implement first and it's important to teach together alongside with technology #EdShareAsia

A1 Digital literacy unlocks the deeper teaching potentials of the educators. This also adds to sustainable job security & develops ethical and insightful practices inherent in education.#EdShareAsia
In my opinion, it is the responsibility of all to educate the students about the issues and news...No doubt curriculum and education are associated with it but role of teacher in bringing awareness is very crucial....@ContempoIssues#edshareasia
@ContempoIssues#EdShareAsia A2. Most people often google info & go 2 d first few results they get on d serach engines. These can easily b manipulated 4 various reasons & hv determental effects like the recent spate of lynchings in India bcoz of fake news abt child abductors
A3: Not only in my country but also in other places, developing critical thinking skill will work. By constantly asking “why” and looking for some resources, we can distinguish the correct ones from fake ones. #EdshareAsia
Ans:2 @klnamya revisionism in books is generally for a rational reason to get rid of orthodox mentality and plethora of online tools give the option to children to verify the historical facts thoroughly and to be factual.
Hence,it isn't really detrimental.
#EdShareAsia
#EdShareAsia A-3 In Bangladesh our government has made a Children’s website which name is “Kishore Batayon” it is very helpful for their learning because who’s age is 11 to 20 years they can join there and by share and collaboration, competition they learn many more,Itseffective
A2 Fake news from variety of sources may hinder the well equipped mental tool of students. The risk of maintaining social balance increases. One should be given good understanding of what constitutes Fake news vs Real news. #EdShareAsia
A3. teaching media literacy skills has quickly become a top concern educators. As Ss increasingly access news online from online sources, Ts are tasked with building the skills their Ss need to recognize bias in the media and verify news on social media&news feeds. #EdShareAsia
#EdShareAsia A.4 we are teaching children to test ,filter,test again before they fully trust any information and facts.I tell them to check sources beforehand
Ans 3: @klnamya Curriculum has changed by leaps and bounds to stop the flowing misinformation by being factual, however I feel there are still pitfalls in being the active education system.
#EdShareAsia
A3: In addition, it’s essential to teach Ss how to use social media. Many schools regard social media as bad, however, if we teach how to use it correctly, Ss will learn some points they need to keep in minds in using it. #EdshareAsia

A3 An overview of teaching strategies, lesson plans, resources & ideas might be valuable as you teach your students about the dangers of Fake news.#EdShareAsia
Ans:4 @klnamya whatever is taught should be taught in spirit and not in letter.therfore,for students to be informed the 'whys' should be there and not the imposed facts.
#EdShareAsia
#EdShareAsia A3. Govt of India has started Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (DISHA)/National Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) 2 provide digital literacy to every Indian, by making 1 person in every family digitally literate is 1 of d integral components of PM's vision of “Digital India”
A4. Regular reminders in terms of Cyber Awareness sessions, conducting surveys to know mind set of students, timely suggestions about all latest trends can help Ss to be informed citizens #EdShareAsia
A3 For me I always update all news or story before discuss with my students and it always comes out with interesting information and facts and some information is fake by someone since long time ago #EdShareAsia
@ContempoIssues#EdShareAsia A4. Yes, while we instill curiosity in ss, tchrs shd also answer their why's - why is it relevant to the ss, why shd they care
In reply to
@deepikamiglani, @klnamya, @ContempoIssues
A4: Why not involve ubiquitous devices and social medias in classes? Like Ts show 3 news, including 1 or 2 fake news at least, to students and have them distinguish which the true news. Ss learn better if they experience it for real. #EdShareAsia
A5 Fake news is making news & it's a problem. This gives media literacy skills to navigate the resources. I stand against it. It gives negative impact of media literacy & academic levels are tested. it should be stopped.#EdShareAsia
We must begin to prepare young children to become healthy skeptics in relation to online information as well as the skills required to read and evaluate the source reliability.
