"Ninety-six percent of students did not consider why ties between a climate change website and the fossil fuel industry might lessen that website’s credibility." ow.ly/ret330pXLaa Report: High Schoolers' Lack of Digital Literacy Skills Is “Troubling”

Educate before you advocate! Very important to find credible sources to further your knowledge and make informed conclusions about the climate crisis!

Are you interested in advocating for #ClimateChange? Join the movement and meet like-minded people that you can build knowledge with together! Like this tweet to be added to a chat about creative solutions for the climate crisis #youthforclimate

“To change everything, we need everyone. Each and every one of us must participate in the climate resistance movement. We cannot just say we care; we must show it.” prosyn.org/etO1lOg
English
Youth activism is low but the incorporation of social media and political engagement can help increase education and participation. Environmental advocacy has developed through social media and Twitter is a tool that engages youth in the conversation #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

I'm using my Twitter to advocate for #ClimateChange, look at some ways that you can do the same!
English
By using the tools afforded to us by social media, we can come together as youth to create change and bring to light issues that directly affect us, like the climate crisis!

Scientists in Sweden have figured out how to harness solar power, store it and release it on demand in the form of heat decades after it's been captured bloom.bg/2rdAJtB

This video is a work of political commentary and falls in line with fair use laws. Ellen's team used their power to manipulate how social media platforms enforce these laws, taking away a voice that can shape and inform public opinion on the Bush controversy #EM203Robin

Last week, Ellen DeGeneres fraudulently used false copyright claims to censor my critique of her erasing Bush's Iraqi victims. This week, let's unerase thousands of his Black Katrina victims, left begging for help until they were met with tanks and guns instead food and medicine

@HopeEM203 Digital literacy has definitely had a strong impact on all learners. We can now benefit from all sorts of media, technology, and interactions to feed our minds with knowledge. This sets up opportunities for learners who aren't the most effective with traditional learning.
English
So far in #EM203Robin I have learned about the development of technology over the years and how this growth has fueled the development of new education programs which are able to leverage technology to enhance the learning process around the globe.
English
@MattCam49978914 It's so interesting to learn about the ways new technology can be used for education programs! Especially in an age where social media is so heavily used for entertainment purposes, it's great to see the same technology be used to further the education of young minds!

@EM203MGallagher This is a really interesting perspective you bring up, Meghan! Many people view social media in a negative light and fail to acknowledge the positive impacts social media can have if used to create a collective system of knowledge and interaction!
English
So far, I have learned about the impact that living in a digital age has on us and our ability to learn. The use of media and social media have the ability to both enhance and hinder our development as individuals, depending on the way in which we use them #EM203Robin

@MKamel_Em203 The use of technology to help people see trends and patterns is so essential to understanding the possibilities of communication today! Technology, like infographics, is a really helpful tool when trying to convey information to an audience in an engaging way!
English
The first few weeks of #EM203Robin have been wonderful as I was able to understand communication at a digital age. Utilizing technology to enhance people's ability to see trends and patterns (through infographics) is crucial. This type of learning offers an immediate connection!
English
@rensim_em203 It's really interesting that you chose to learn a song verse in German! I find learning by doing is something is the most effective method to learn new things because talking about an activity is always very different than actually doing it!
English
@EM203OliviaM It is really interesting to see how learners, but more specifically teachers have adapted to include a more multi-media approach! I think this new wave of teaching will help students engage more meaningfully with course materials as it relates more to our daily lives!
English
So far I have enjoyed learning about how learners have adapted to the digital age, the different approaches to teaching/learning in such an age and the multi-media, multi-modal and multi-tasking methods that we now use to navigate this surplus of digital resources #EM203Robin
English
This is why a multi-modal approach is helpful in learning! It works to encourage higher levels of digital literacy which can be greatly beneficial in our new age of technology and social media! #EM203Robin
English
There is an emphasis on a new wave of digital literacy that is impacting the way we learn! Using non-traditional modes of learning is beneficial to more visual learners, but the combination of materials can be somewhat confusing. #EM203Robin
