This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from October 2019, opens in Adobe Connect. Do your digital natives suffer from "digital naivete"? They may be fluent enough with technology to create and post their own work, but not be aware that everyone who posts online isn't credible. Teaching students to sift through multiple sets of "facts" allows them to learn the difference between propaganda, advertising, and factual reporting. This is a skill that students need in order to be truly digitally literate. In an age of instant information, students need to know how to tell if they can trust a source of information. Join us to learn strategies for helping them. Participants will: 1. Explore tools and strategies for teaching media literacy; 2. Learn strategies that promote critical examination of online resources; and 3. Plan a learning activity that fosters digital literacy. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from July 2019, opens in Adobe Connect. Transform your students into historians and model digital citizenship across all subject areas as they analyze and learn from primary sources. Primary sources are the puzzle pieces of real-world evidence that students can use to learn about historical events, people, and everyday life. They are newspapers, photographs, documents, maps, oral histories, and more. Working with primary sources allows students to explore and eventually form their own questions and their own conclusions. Participants will review primary source formats and identify where you can find them online. Participants will also learn various strategies for curating and selecting age and ability-appropriate primary sources and designing activities that encourage students to analyze, evaluate, think critically, and use deductive reasoning skills. Participants will: 1. Review what primary sources are and where to find them online; 2. Learn various teaching strategies for selecting and using age and ability appropriate primary sources in the classroom; and 3. Plan for the use of primary sources in your educational setting. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
