#fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:33 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard For example, I use databases like GALE, EBSCO

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:34 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard who's on the chat, please remember to add the #!

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:36 PM EDT

interesting comment from 5th S today about social studies. They have studies yellow journalism - perfect tie in to this topic. #fcsvanguard

#fcsvanguard I try to show my kids databases thru MackinVIA

In reply to @BVRMiller

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:36 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard peer reviewed and vetted are the better ideas - I agree and through MackinVIA we have many opportunities

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:36 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard when I teach Ss, I also show pics - use them as ideas of what may not be real....

hillside_media Mar 16 @ 7:37 PM EDT

Kathleen from Hillside joining in. #fcsvanguard

HubbardsStacy Mar 16 @ 7:37 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard I use @MackinVIA to support my students and teachers with projects

#fcsvanguard do you think this video is real? "I saw it on the internet"! https://t.co/NtgSuk9DPV

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:39 PM EDT

Hope that Ss use databases provided - I know Ts assign also. Students becoming better at noticing the sources... I think! #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard yes the more we can get people to use the databases rather than internet, better for Ss

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:39 PM EDT

Hope that Ss use databases provided - I know Ts assign also. Students becoming better at noticing the sources... I think! #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Ss need to understand that pics and videos may also be problematic - toaster video was fake :-)

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard welll sure it's real! :)

In reply to @BVRMiller

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:41 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:42 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard students write blogs, is everything that they write informative or peer reviewed? Could be a good lesson !

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:43 PM EDT

For some questions/info at the El level basic db are fine. But for 'fake news' convo - more difficult to research.. convos help #fcsvanguard

DarrenClayEDU Mar 16 @ 7:43 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard a1) We encourage Ss to use @MackinVIA @DiscoveryEd @bing & https://t.co/H4KULnOCfZ for safe & reliable sources

In reply to @MackinVIA, @DiscoveryEd, @bing

jbk97 Mar 16 @ 7:43 PM EDT

toaster video was fake because it was obviously staged. common sense is important #fcsvanguard

hillside_media Mar 16 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A3 it certainly seems that many news stories aren't fact-checked #fcsvanguard

brainywizards Mar 16 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Definitely think that would be the way to go. Esp with upper Elem Ss. Got to have them ready for MS rigor. #fcsvanguard #brainywizards

HubbardsStacy Mar 16 @ 7:44 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Q3: Video, articles (i.e.fake news) can have misleading information in them that sometimes ours students cannot detect.

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:44 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard have you looked at https://t.co/a1JOJISrSR ? Has a lot of real looking articles but all fake

Tteachcreators2 Mar 16 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Using pics to aid S's in processing and applying information is key! #fcsvanguard

In reply to @BVRMiller

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:46 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard What's a discussion about accurate info without this question?

EllenReagin Mar 16 @ 7:46 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard sometimes I see my kids find reviews and comments and think that is factual information as opposed to random people's comments

MissRioux Mar 16 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A4: Learning to verify information & timely. #fcsvanguard ... sorry I am late!

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:46 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard What's a discussion about accurate info without this question?

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:47 PM EDT

Are there examples of wikipedia issues to share with Ss? I have not thought to look. #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:48 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @ugamartha yes, Wikipedia does have some valuable info about their service you can use to educate Ss

In reply to @ugamartha

jbk97 Mar 16 @ 7:48 PM EDT

I tell Ss to confirm facts with 2 or more sources. Today it's harder to explain reliable sources. #fcsvanguard

HubbardsStacy Mar 16 @ 7:48 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Some information in Wikipedia is false. Ss should be encouraged to use more than one source to cross reference their research

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Sorry. I keep forgetting to put A and the question number. #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:49 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @jbk97 that was my next slide .... ha!

In reply to @jbk97

EllenReagin Mar 16 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Well lots of info on Wikipedia is accurate but I always tell my kids to verify by checking two other sources #fcsvanguard

EllenReagin Mar 16 @ 7:50 PM EDT

so true! #fcsvanguard

In reply to @jbk97

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:50 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Wikipedia has become more accurate, but it's only as accurate as what people put in it! I say it's ok as a starting place...

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:51 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard

hillside_media Mar 16 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A4 Wikipedia can be a starting point for Ss. Also, a good way to explain how not pages can be changed w/ease #fcsvanguard

jbk97 Mar 16 @ 7:53 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard A4-pro-Ss can use the references in Wikipedia for more sources.

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:54 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @jbk97 yes, the Wikipedia links may be better than the articles! Citations are always a way to help vet info

In reply to @jbk97

EllenReagin Mar 16 @ 7:54 PM EDT

Kathy Schrock's 5w's #fcsvanguard

HubbardsStacy Mar 16 @ 7:54 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Q5: Focus on bias perspective that the author my present and the reliability of the information.

MissRioux Mar 16 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A5: look for facts not opinions. #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:51 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:56 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @EllenReagin Kathy Schrock has a great website, here's a page about eh 5Ws & fake news websites https://t.co/ncFgdq3RVS

In reply to @EllenReagin

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:57 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Aside from the 5Ws I use....

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:58 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard I like the ABCD method - it's easy to remember and to explain. A good starting point for discussion

jbk97 Mar 16 @ 7:58 PM EDT

A5- bias and opinion #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 7:59 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard and for the rest of the ABCD...

EllenReagin Mar 16 @ 8:00 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard oh I like this!

In reply to @BVRMiller

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:00 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @jbk97 Especially these days, not only has bias become a concern but so has satire - Ss don't always know the difference

In reply to @jbk97

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:01 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Looking at the "about us" page doesn't dig deep enough, need to Google the person to see credentials

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:04 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Content - another of the items that Ss may stumble over...is it relevant to what they are researching? It is well written?

hillside_media Mar 16 @ 8:04 PM EDT

A5 trying to keep the Ss away from Google to using databases. More reliable and safer searches,issues w/ inappropriate searches #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:05 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard not on a slide...but what of the ABCDs do you teach as the first thing they need to look at when reviewing a website?

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:06 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Google/Bing, etc has become the "go to" for research....need to teach Ts and Ss to use our databases/MackinVia

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A5 this is very difficult. As Ts assign things w lessons / links embedded hard to be ahead. S told me today fake news is #fcsvanguard

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A5 cont'd Washington post and NYTimes. To work through that was more than I had in me. :( #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:09 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:10 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard I LOVE this Infographic -

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A5 I would consider author and date I think. #fcsvanguard

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:11 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @ugamartha Date is very important especially if we need current info...also relevant when using databases

In reply to @ugamartha

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard EasyBib has some great sources for teaching about relevancy and sources, not just a citation builder!

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard The question goes both ways, what do we show that is fake in order to show what would be reliable!

SearcyTAG Mar 16 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard. Check out The Library of Congress digitally. https://t.co/Ysj1nrKPM5 Amazing resource.

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:17 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Fantastic source @SearcyTAG Thank you !

In reply to @SearcyTAG

SearcyTAG Mar 16 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard. Check out The Library of Congress digitally. https://t.co/Ysj1nrKPM5 Amazing resource.

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A7 OUr teachers like Pacific Octopus and Explorers. Saw some good ideas on EasyBib article you shared @BVRMiller #fcsvanguard

In reply to @BVRMiller

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Gotta love the Tree Octopus website - kids always enjoy it !

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard https://t.co/Gjdq39Rlf4 is a good fact checking source as well

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard the Kathy Schrock link I posted earlier has many websites that are good to show Ss - need to beware of age of S and content!

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard and for my last question....citations are important when reviewing info as well as when writing papers.

ugamartha Mar 16 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Q8 I use the copy/paste features in databases we have through MackinVia. #fcsvanguard

jbk97 Mar 16 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Easybib and noodletools are good #fcsvanguard

KatiSearcy Mar 16 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard I've spent today at the U.S. Patent Office & Library of Congress. The most reliable sources are primary documents.

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Easy for Ts & Ss are the MLA citations in the databases - easy to use!

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:26 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard @SearcyTAG Primary sources are definitely the MOST reliable, always good to teach Ss to look for them!

In reply to @SearcyTAG

BVRMiller Mar 16 @ 8:28 PM EDT

#fcsvanguard Thanks for listening in...the fake/real info has been a hot topic lately and many Ss need help with the topic.

hillside_media Mar 16 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Thanks @BVRMiller for hosting! Very important topic #fcsvanguard
