At long last, the UK Govt has published its Online Media Literacy Strategy, incorporating the first of the annual plans intended to implement it. Potentially, this is an important development #infolit @infolitgroup #medialiteracy https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-media-literacy-strategy

Back on Twitter after a bit of a hiatus... interview with @GuyClaxton how why English education system no longer fit for purpose. Too much focus on knowledge acquisition, not enough on exploration, incl nurturing critical thinking abilities #infolit https://bridges-to-the-future.simplecast.com/episodes/is-it-time-to-rethink-how-we-educate-our-children?fbclid=IwAR0Qx9b_jSfr8gQlEIGOV3im8rAQY5Q6kxOgwf_LUzPDBrCi4-nEKWYKFGI

Nothing new in this article, but interesting how Finland's approach to #infolit & #medialiteracy includes learning about media ethics; and how this is an ongoing process through education, from kindergarten onwards, not just at one particular stage https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people/finlands-secret-weapon-fight-against-fake-news-kindergarten/
