Book SynopsisCritical thinking and online reading need to go hand in handbut they often don't. Students click, swipe, and believe because they don't know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that's a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity.No matter what content you teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences so students can: Notice how teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how various reading pathways influence perception Identify the author background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a piece in context Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources, reading laterally, and other critical reading strategies Use Reader's Rules of Notice to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the reader Be aware of how for-profit social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than widen our reading landscape We are still in the wild west era of the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission: teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will forever have the tools to fight fake news.Trade Review"If I were in charge of the world, every school would have a required media studies course, and every faculty would do a book study around Fighting Fake News. This book is an essential tool in helping students to be more consciously aware, reflective, and rational about the waves of news and other forms of "angertainment." I lost count of how many times I said, ′Yes!′ while reading this book." -- Kelly Gallagher * Teacher, Author, and Consultant *"Fighting Fake News is a must read for every teacher. I plan to read it and reread because I know each time, I will be able to glean better information. I would love to have the opportunity to see this kind of instruction be put in to place." -- Lydia Bagley * Instructional Support Specialist *"Talk about timely! Fighting Fake News begins by describing the cognitive short-cuts we all (not just the fringe) are prone to—how we so easily fit information to pre-existing biases. The authors show how digital media exploit this tendency by directing us to sources that feed these prejudices. And they provide carefully crafted lessons to promote critical analysis and thoughtful citizenship. It′s the book we need now." -- Thomas Newkirk * Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire *Table of ContentsPart 1: So Much at Stake Chapter 1: The Case for Teaching Critical Reading and Fighting Fake News Chapter 2: Fake News: What It Is, Why it Works, and What We Can Start Doing About It Part II: Lessons for Critical Reading and Fighting Fake News Chapter 3: Lessons for Getting Started: Knowing Your Own Mind Chapter 4: Lessons Using ‘Rules of Notice’ in Online Reading Chapter 5: Lessons for Teaching Point of View in Digital Media Chapter 6: Lessons for Examining News, Nonfiction, and Digital Texts through Literary Lenses Chapter 7: Lessons for Teaching Students to Evaluate Evidence and Research Conclusion: Some Final Words

Book SynopsisThis book problematizes the role of education in an increasingly mediatized world through the lenses of creativity, new media, and consumerism. At the core of the issue, the author argues, creativity in art education is being co-opted to serve the purposes of current economic trends towards designer capitalism. Using an East meets West approach, jagodzinski draws on Deleuze and Guattarian philosophy to explore visual and popular culture in Korean society, addressing the tensions that exist between designer education and art that explores the human condition. In doing so, he challenges art educators to envision a new paradigm for education which questions established media ontologies and incorporates new ways to confront the crisis of the Anthropocene.Table of Contents1.
