Title: | Critical literacy in the information age: Lies, damn lies and ... | Contributor(s): | Callingham, Rosemary Anne (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/4170 | Abstract: | As the authority of teachers and parents wanes, students increasingly turn to various media for advice and information. What skills, knowledge and understandings are needed for students to sort fact from fiction? How do students make sense of information presented in diagrams, charts or graphs? What meaning can be attached to advertising claims on television? Of more importance to teachers is the question of how we teach students to take a critical, questioning stance to the information they access. In this paper, media sources are used as a basis for developing appropriate teaching approaches to scaffold students’ thinking towards critical understanding. Beware! This approach uses numbers. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Multiliteracies and English Teaching K-12 in the Age of Information and Communication Technologies 2004, Armidale, Australia, 24th - 27th November, 2004 | Source of Publication: | Multiliteracies & English Teaching K-12 In the Age of Information & Communication Technologies 2004, p. 1-8 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130106 Secondary Education | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930199 Learner and Learning not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/26536363?selectedversion=NBD42103321 |
