[Solved] Learning with technology

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

Digital technologies provide us with the opportunity to learn anywhere and from anyone. In some ways, this opens the world to us, and we can learn many things from people that we do not know and would not have the chance to interact with in our daily lives. Through YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram (and other social media), we can learn how to clean, fix, make, think, style, create, understand, dance, cook, DIY, design, and so on from people who create content and share it online. For example, there are many different content categories on TikTok, such as DIYTok, BeautyTok, AdviceTok, RelationshipTok, and more.

In some instances, people may not have the credentials, background, or knowledge that they are giving advice about online, and this can be potentially dangerous. Being able to critically evaluate information and sources is essential to being a consumer of technological innovations. This assignment gives you the opportunity to evaluate the creditability of those providing the information: the influencers, creators, and authors.

Imagine you are a social media specialist who has been tasked with visiting local middle and high schools to teach students how to evaluate the credibility of influencers. You need to cover possible brands or influencers and discuss how to evaluate their credibility and how having access to credible content can impact how and what we learn.
