Great piece from @EdSurge columnist @KimRues on educator role in countering misinfo and building skills - in addition to recognizing biases, I'd add recognizing emotions too. At @IREXintl we call this "name it to tame it" in our media/digital literacy work edsurge.com/news/2022-05-05-…
Thank you @LottieDowlingNZ @SmilesStephi @elemenous and all speakers for a great conversation this evening - this was my first time listening and tweeting in this format, a fun whirlwind! #globaledchat
