BBC's shoddy analysis about fake news spread in India
PS: Fake news is being spread, there is NO doubt about that.
But there is no easy way to arrive at the outlandish conclusions they have arrived at. Take a look :-) They start off with some "data analysis" and call it qualitative research.
The document discusses various challenges parents face in keeping up with their children's technology use and online activities. It provides statistics on teen technology and social media usage. It also discusses different parenting approaches to deal with these issues and offers tips for parents, such as setting rules for internet and cell phone use, knowing who their children interact with online, and discussing topics like digital footprint and copyright.
To summarize, the document discusses several reasons why printed books are generally preferable to e-books for reading. Specifically, it notes that studies have shown printed books are better for memorization, test results, and the user experience as people find it easier to focus and feel content sticks better in their memory. While e-reading has its benefits like accessibility and lower costs, the technology has not fully replicated the tactile experience of reading print that many people miss and that helps navigation. Audio books are growing in popularity as an alternative but also have limitations. Overall, until e-book technologies evolve further, printed books and audio books remain better options for comfort, practicality and productivity.
The document discusses the impact of various media like television, electronic games, and the internet on children and youth. It notes that while television can positively stimulate learning through educational programs and videos, excessive viewing has been linked to increased violence and obesity in children. It provides tips for parents to limit violent content and encourage active play. The internet poses risks like inappropriate content but can also connect people when used safely under supervision. Print media was important for India's independence movement while current media helps educate youth and empower women.
At the 29th Annual ACT Enrollment Planners Conference, Director Lee Rainie will highlight 13 things everyone should know about how today's teens use technology. With data from the Pew Research Internet Project's national surveys of teens and parents, Lee will highlight some critical ways digital tools are changing not only how teens communicate, but also how they gather information about the world and present themselves to others.

Fake News, Real Concerns: Developing Information-Literate Students (April 2018)ALATechSource
- Librarians can help address the spread of fake news by teaching information literacy skills. This includes teaching people to evaluate information logically by looking for logical fallacies, biased sources, and lack of evidence, but also addressing the emotional reasons why people believe fake news like fear, anger, and greed.
- The Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education provides a structure for teaching these skills through concepts like understanding that authority is constructed, information has value, and research as an inquiry process.
- However, combating fake news cannot just be the job of librarians alone. Other institutions need to prioritize teaching information evaluation as well for it to have a meaningful impact.

7. • Digital Native-
• a person born or brought up during the age
of digital technology and therefore familiar
with computers and the Internet from an
early age. This includes computers, videos,
video games, social media and a huge array
of other modalities.
8.
9. What is a “Digital Native”?
Marc Prensky, known for inventing and
popularizing the terms “digital native” and
“digital immigrant”, says this regarding
digital natives-
“The most important thing to realize is
that this is a metaphor. It’s not a
distinction or a brand, it’s extremely
fluid.”
10.
11. “Digital immigrants are people who grew up
in one digital culture and moved into
another,” Prensky explained. “Digital natives
are people who grew up in one culture. They
don’t have two cultures to compare.”
12.
13. • Today, there is a more varied approach to the term “digital
native”.
• Those who are digital natives are more likely to use social
media like Snapchat as opposed to Facebook or email.
• A Pew Research study shows 57% of teens have met a
new friend online, while social media and online
gameplay are the two top ways to meet friends digitally.
14. • Digital natives may not be necessarily tech savvy, but their
sense of knowledge... both digitally and culturally
establishes them as natives. They have this in common-
• Met new friends online
• Found new career paths online
• Online world tied to their identity
• A digital native is someone who gets it, the good and bad
the digital world offers.
15.
16. • Even though Digital Natives “get” that
good and bad, how do they assess which
piece of information, bit of news, research
for school that they get is real or fake?
• In other words, how do Digital Natives sort
through all the ephemera that is thrown at
them constantly?
17. • "It's not just the question of real or fake, but it's the
broader question of how do all of us evaluate the
information that comes to us via screens," says Stanford
Professor Sam Wineburg, founder of the Stanford History
Education Group and lead author of a recent study
measuring students' evaluation of digital content.
• "The choice before us is more complicated than a
simple binary of real or fake. It's really about asking
questions about where all information comes from in
the social and political world.”
18.
19. Where does the information come from?
Who posted the information you’re looking at or reading?
Can you recognize different genres of sources and can they
recognize the difference between unreliable or credible?
Is it worthy of our belief or our attention?
20.
21. • What should we do?
• We must recognize that we have entered a tech revolution
where the tools are handling us and not us them.
• This goes across all parts of society. This is not just true
about Digital Natives, but of Digital Immigrants as well.
• The web is so sophisticated that many of us are taken in
by ruses.
• Ads are seen as news stories, blogs are seen as sources of
fact, Facebook is the expert.
22.
23. • The old way of dealing with a situation in education was
to implement a new curriculum. In the case of the concern,
even crisis for our digital natives we quickly implement
new digital literacy curriculum.
• Often when budgets get cut, this curriculum is quickly
gone.
• We are in a fundamental shift at this time, and schools are
fundamentally behind in dealing with this issue.
24.
25. • Anyone can be a
• Newscaster
• Historian
• Webpage - Expert (pretend)
• All you need is space – like a garage, a living room, a sofa
and the technology.
26.
27. • When we come to a website we don’t know many of us
read it vertically, the About page is not going to help you.
• Fact checkers read a website laterally. They open multiple
windows to find out what the organization is and who is
behind it. Rather than just accepting the article, they read
across a lateral line and open multiple windows. They
find out what the actual source is, who is behind it, what
their agenda is. Only then do they go back to read it.
29. • A Stanford Graduate School of Education study found
• "Many assume that because young people are fluent in
social media they are equally savvy about what they
find there," the researchers wrote. "Our work shows the
opposite.”
• The students displayed a "stunning and dismaying
consistency" in their responses, the researchers wrote,
getting duped again and again. They weren't looking for
high-level analysis of data but just a "reasonable bar"
of, for instance, telling fake accounts from real ones,
activist groups from neutral sources and ads from
articles.
30.
31. • Most middle school students can't tell native ads from
articles.
• Most high school students accept photographs and their
captions as presented, without verifying them.
• Many high school students couldn't tell a real and fake
news source apart on Facebook.
• Most college students didn't suspect potential bias in a
tweet from an activist group.
• Most Stanford students couldn't identify the difference
between a mainstream and fringe or hate source.
32.
33. • "The kinds of duties that used to be the responsibility of
editors and librarians now fall on the shoulders of anyone
who uses a screen to become informed about the world,"
Wineburg told NPR. "And so the response is not to take
away these rights from ordinary citizens but to teach them
how to thoughtfully engage in information seeking and
evaluating in a cacophonous democracy.”
• The answer is not to, as many schools do, filter information
for the student.
• Students must be taught to effectively evaluate the
source of the information in order to assess it’s accuracy.
