We explored a lot of tools this week! The tools that we checked out had more thinking more about our readings around assessment/evaluation and citizenship/activism. The Kahne & Bowyer (2019) article Can media literary education increase digital engagement in politics? had my mind swirling with thoughts about how media literacy education would be helpful for the grown ups in the room too, not just our youth. Election cycles should start off with a media literary course in which users must pass continue accessing and posting on social media profiles 😂 I always find it interesting to observe the friends who engage in online participatory politics and/or targeted politic pressure, and friends or followers who steer clear from any kind of digital engagement of politics. Especially in the past year or so, the "sharing of political perspectives, mobilizing individuals and groups to act, and applying of pressure to governments and corporations" as described in the reading has been prevalent! I enjoyed reading about this topic and started to think more about the role of educators on digital citizenship. I was really excited to find some Sutori resources on this exact topic! Whew, at least someone is ahead of me in thinking about all of this and developing the lesson plans to foster a future media literate generation!!

Again, I think the grown ups could all benefit from these Sutori less plans too...
