    A1: being 2nd, most of my students share by word of mouth and sharing time. Some do have their own phones/tablets #sstlap
  • StudentsHistory Mar 23 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1 While Twitter seems to get less face time than Snapchat or IG, it does seem best for Ss news - at least for snow days 😆#sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    i had a family member quote another's post on FB as source of information about public education - yeah his facts not true - #sstlap

    We get the same kind of all-over-the-place responses. A challenge to respond when we don't know where they get news. #sstlap

    A1: Snapchat is most popular w/mine, followed by Twitter. when it comes to "news," they tell me parents watch & listen; not them #sstlap

    What are some tricks you use to get younger students connected to the news? #sstlap
    In reply to @LauraGarlow
  • classroomtools Mar 23 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2 The labels are used by partisans in an effort to "spin" and thereby manipulate readers/listeners/viewers. #sstlap
  • studyhistory76 Mar 23 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Facebook and Twitter. I have a lot of students who have started reading the news on Snap too. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    i have abandoned FB because fighting with family and "friends" to defend what you do (edu) sucks so dropped FB #sstlap

    A2: we use lots of sorting games. Think this would help Ss to identify and classify these 2 types of news #sstlap

  • TNording Mar 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: I've always called this form of news to Ss as half truths. Somewhere in the statement is the truth the other half is exaggerated #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2 my first thought for simulation was to sabatoge the telephone game -to plant bias, or alternative info in the feed to see happens #sstlap
  • studyhistory76 Mar 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: Fake news and alternative facts get labeled (quickly) on the opposition. Ss and TS should checkout https://t.co/1XmZ7dinQY #sstlap

    Wonder if S have enough background info and life exp to pick up diff betwen fake and alternative news. #sstlap
  • NewseumED Mar 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2) Invent a news story at the school level and have them attempt to shape what their fellow students think about it. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2 our society loves labels-have need to categorize-quantify things-liberal/conservative, red, blue so fake news allows dismiss info #sstlap

    In reply to @TNording, @NewseumED
  • MrStricklin Mar 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    I think students may use labels to cover up their insecurities when they figure out their beliefs or ideas have been proven wrong. #sstlap

    Love it! The seeds of chaos ... then maybe see how different groups manage it. #sstlap

        Disagree Ben. I force current events but always bring to local perspective when I can. Often stop CNN 10 and discuss #sstlap
        • Braz74 - Moderator Mar 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT
          I didn't like forcing current events because kids didn't care, but what if we introduce a question about something going #sstlap

            A2: I haven't used news as much as I'd like this year. We talk about bias w/political cartoons, primary source docs, textbooks #sstlap

    But everyone knew what had happened on London yesterday. Why? #sstlap

    A7. Look to historic examples. Fake news isn't new and what comes next probably won't be either https://t.co/SbFsilBNoa #sstlap

    A7-Media controversy is a great teaching point in the classroom. Ss are so reliant on these soc med influences we must adapt to all #sstlap

    Also, our attention spans are short, and we only can attend to so much news. #sstlap

    Fake news not new, but access is. Always had multiple filters until now. Now its raw material.#sstlap

    A7 I think no matter what it is you have to find a way to connect/hook ss - they have to see value to lives - #sstlap

    No, I think @Braz74 is correct; we don't value poor, POC lives as much as we do first world whites. #sstlap

    that's what I figured. If people are freer to be mean online, it could work positively the other way. Less peer pressure. #sstlap
