Youth and Media: "From Credibility to Information Quality"

Marty Rossi from ESC20 in San Antonio wrote in early March about The Berkman Center at Harvard  releasing results of a new study. The posting shared a useful infographic as well as these key findings:

1. Search shapes the quality of information that youth experience online.
2. Youth use cues and heuristics to evaluate quality, especially visual and interactive elements.
3. Content creation and dissemination foster digital fluencies that can feed back into search and evaluation behaviors.
4. Information skills acquired through personal and social activities can benefit learning in the academic context.

I am aware how much of my learning is due to professional networking and friends. Thanks, Ty and Marty.
