As content creators and social media platforms grapple with the fake news crisis, the study highlights the other side of the equation: What it looks like when readers are duped.

Kun teknologia on tullut kouluihin ja vahvistuu koko ajan, on tärkeää pitää huolta, että turvallisuus säilyy. Miten se onnistuu, kun usein lapset ovat paljon paremmin ajantasalla uudesta teknologiasta kuin heitä opettavat ihmiset?

Technology makes a difference | Learning with 'e's | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

I have often heard the argument that there is no evidence that technology improves learning. This is a vacuous claim that is either a) based on ignorance of the available research literature, or b) possibly the result of a deep seated fear, mistrust or dislike of technology in general. My usual response to such a claim is that children with special educational needs are a classic example of technology improving learning.
