Q1: Media literacy skills help students to access, evaluate, and analyze information. How do you teach these skills in an era of "information overload"? #ETCoaches
#ETCoaches A2. This is a hard one to answer. I am not sure of the "how" but I do know the "why." We need to take the time to teach students these skills to be better citizens both on the net and off. https://t.co/WyTQiMyKQ7

Q2: Evaluating bias is a crucial skill. How do you teach students to evaluate bias without appearing to be biased/slanted one way or another? #ETcoaches
Q3: In the digital age, it's easy to avoid information we don't like. How can we work to become "un-siloed" and escape the echo chamber? How do we model for our students? #ETCoaches
A1 I think that using multiple forms of media and showing them all different sides to one story, maybe even one they are familiar with or have heard about. Keeping opinions at bay can be tricky especially bc everyone has one! #etcoaches
A4. #ETCoaches - this could be done using current events and how they relate to students' lives (politics, for example). It could also be done with ads found on social media.
Q5: Trust in the media has declined 13% since 2010. How does this decline in trust play into our responsibility to teach students to question and evaluate information for sources? #ETCoaches
#ETCoaches A5. The decline makes it even more important for students to learn about bias and the necessity of knowing which sources you can and can't trust.
