Cyndy Scheibe, Professor in the Department of Psychology and Executive Director of Project Look Sharp, and Chris Sperry, Director of Curriculum & Staff Development of Project Look Sharp, have published a new article in Social Education.
The article is entitled “RX for an Infodemic: Media Decoding, COVID-19, and Online Teaching.” After describing the historical, political and social causes of our viral age of “fake news,” this article explores how constructivist media decoding provides a methodology for addressing the polarization of truth, with examples of how this work can be done in the classroom through face-to-face and virtual learning.
