I thought of this media literacy slogan at our workshop today: “SIFT before you share!” (If you are not sure what SIFT means in the context of information and social media, Google “SIFT web literacy framework”)

DigComp 2.2: The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens
https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC128415
(I’m considering appropriating “The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens” on page 7 for my own media literacy course!
The Digital Competence Framework for Citizen (DigComp) provides a common understanding of what digital competence is. The present publication has two main parts: the integrated DigComp 2.2 framework provides more than 250 new examples of knowledge, skills and attitudes that help citizens engage confidently, critically and safely with digital technologies, and new and emerging ones such as systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

http://kevinmkruse.com/book/white-flight-atlanta-and-the-making-of-modern-conservatism/
During the civil rights era, Atlanta thought of itself as "The City Too Busy to Hate," a rare place in the South where the races lived and thrived together. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, however, so many whites fled the city for the suburbs that Atlanta earned a new nickname: "The City...
