A number of issues with this content. The first activity didn't define what was meant with the different terms used. The second task stated 4 in one box and 2 in the other yet they only gave 4 answers in total.
Nice ideas.
I was impressed by the impact in the organisation of one initiative in using the appropriate resource and inspiring others, the case study of science teacher Ruby gave me food for thought. Similarly, the quote "Learners can be forewarned, prepared and ready to sharpen their digital literacy skills."
Very in-depth.
This is very heavy on buzzwords without much explanation of the purpose of the terms. Do we really need something such as 'authenticity of illustration'? If we do, why?
I felt this was not as good as other parts of the module
I think 2 of the buttons are missing from the activity when you drag answers into categories.
I thought that this element of the unit about on line information, was quite confusing
Interesting and good resources.
Good point in that we go to sources we see a s reliable and impartial when sometimes the opposing views can generate more discussion amongst learners. The fracking example is a good one, with wildly differing views coming form the companies concerned and the 'environmental lobby'
A good module
already new the module content
Overall embedding on previous CPD.
Some good points but mostly covered in previous CPD
Clumsy questions I found myself disagreeing with the answer required more than once.
A good argument for using biased public or private sector resources.
