I’m developing a digital literacy lesson plan that emphasizes scientific communication and combating misinformation in secondary science. Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Hey SurfingWave, this is such an interesting approach to blend digital literacy with scientific communication! I’ve been toying with similar ideas in my classes where I encourage students to analyze online content critically and then craft their own responses to debunk misinformation. It’s pretty cool to see how working on real-world examples can get them chatting about everything from source credibility to the way digital media shapes public opinion. Have you thought about having them create a mini-campaign or maybe even a podcast episode discussing a recent scientific controversy? I found that giving them a hands-on project really sparked their curiosity and helped bridge theory with practice. What kind of digital tools or platforms are you considering using in your lesson? Would love to hear how you’re planning to bring all these elements together!
