Podcast appearances and mentions of susan brooks young

Susan Brooks-Young started sharing resources on digital literacy back in 2011 in her online digital binder called Building Blocks for Digital Citizenship. Initially the subject occupied a single tab titled "Truth Matters" where Susan shared teaching resources to help students learn how to identify authentic information from fabrication.9 years later and it is clear that it isn't just our students who face this challenge. Everyday on trusted apps and websites, consumers are bombarded with an array of truths, misinformation and now a new term: disinformation. Most of us don't have the skill set to recognize the differences between them. Please join us on this fascinating topic where podcast co-host Linda and I learn why Susan's online digital binders provided exactly what she needed. We also dive into the topic of misinformation vs disinformation, why fake news isn't even news , and how we can all recognize our own echo chambers.Click here for Podcast resources.

Please join me in welcoming Susan Brooks-Young as she explores tactics for identifying instances of bullying, challenges adults face when defusing and/or preventing bullying, and common strategies and tactics that can be used to rein in bullying.   Let’s get learning!
