The days of teachers spouting simplistic short-sighted shortcuts like " No citing .com's -they are not respected academically" (shudder) or "Wikipedia can never be used for research" or even "there is nothing of academic value on Youtube" are thankfully over! This a lesson in credible sources relating it to real life scam awareness and digital citizenship on social media Lesson Plan: http://msgurthie.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/CriticalEvaluating Game -Dig Cit Forced Choices- both in social media and in academics Have you ever copied and pasted - words? -images into a slideshow? Used an entire song? (show google search by usage rights) Started a project at the last minute? Used easybib or other auto citation generator? Did you see any drama this summer? You liked it? You spoke out against it? Favorite social media site is instagram? etc LOL'd at a Vine this summer? (which one?) Living Life Online magazine The lap giraffe -discuss scams the sugar glider - real life animal but site is not credible- purpose the tree octopus -discuss capow To prevent being scammed, go "CAPOW!" to knock out" a bad website. Unlike "Kaboom!", "CAPOW" is an acronym to remind you to check a site against other reputable sites and google for... C-CURRENCY- is the info on the site recent? has it been maintained? You can tell by the "look" of it, by dates it has been updated, etc, by googling the info to see if it has been adjusted etc. A-AUTHORITY- Is this website one from an authoritative institution? Is it peer reviewed? is it well respected source? Google the exact web address--what kinds of other sites refer to this site? P-PURPOSE- Is this site trying to inform, persuade, argue? If the site is trying to sell you something, be aware. O-OBJECTIVITY-Is this site covering all sides of the topic fairly? If not that is fine, you can still use it, but your research is not done-be sure to go to a site that supports other points of view. W-WRITING STYLE: Misspellings, poor grammar, slang, are all signs that a site is not academic or may be a scam or a trick by someone not educated. If it is sloppy, it may have errors in its info or thinking as well. LET's CAPOW these together right now in class: DHM0 -discuss not taking the site's word for it and the difference between a lie and a bias RYThospital -discuss not taking shortcuts
