SUMMARY:Workshop: A Framework for Recognizing Misinformation\, Disinformation\, and Information in Life and at School
DESCRIPTION:At school and in life we are bombarded with information. When information comes to us\, we get to choose which information to engage with\, but often these choices are snap decisions heavily resting in emotion and our existing knowledge rather than any intentional evaluation process. At other times\, we seek information out and\, while we expect our information seeking strategies will lead us to reliable sources\, we are still somewhat limited by our accumulation of experiences and knowledge. In all situations\, we are subjected to reliable information\, misinformation\, and disinformation and sometimes it’s not easy to distinguish. This workshop provides a framework that balances emotion and existing knowledge-based decision making with intentionality. In other words\, this workshop will give you tools to navigate the noise.
