Title:

Against All Odds - A Media Literate World

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Howard Greenstein, Harbrooke Group, Inc.
Description:
The new "Media Literacy" means understanding the facts, context and perspective of content. When you share, modify, or comment, this shows who you are online and in society. The public record of your search and attention stream will define how you're perceived. How do we increase media literacy?
Questions
Answered:
  1. What do we mean by media literacy?
  2. What does it mean to be media illiterate in a social media world? (In a fun way)
  3. Where to go to get information, to search for it, and to discover it, using the tools and techniques to filter and consume information?
  4. How do we know what the biases are? Exploring Reputation, "truthiness," and influence.
  5. What are the new tools for consuming and producing media, and how do we help people up the learning curve?
  6. How do we create identity through our attention and activity streams?
  7. How do our friends help us discover what's most relevant to us?
  8. What happens when people don't know they're being sold on something? Responsibilities of media producers about disclosure and transparency?
  9. How do information overload and multitasking affect productivity and awareness?
  10. What are the consequences of a connected society that isn't media literate?

More info: This panel was put together during a discussion among several people from Social Media Club. The Co-Presenters include Chris Heuer from Social Media Club and the Conversation Group, Alex De Carvalho adjunct professor at the University of Miami and the founder of StartPR, an online tracking service for reputation management, blogger relations, and brand monitoring, and Brian Solis, founder of Future Works http://www.future-works.com/, http://briansolis.com/ - the PR.20 blog. Invited panelist is Howard Rheingold - http://www.rheingold.com/ .
We'd like to help people understand the issues around how you, though people say you "can't believe everything you learn online" they often don't give you more information to figure out whether what you've learned is true. This is critical in academia, for marketers and brands, and for teaching children and those coming online for the first time in the next few years.

Alex, great topic. There's a lot to discuss between "you can't believe everything you read online" and "it's true, I saw it on the Internet."

This topic totally underlines how I've established myself even though I work remotely. And people's perception shows itself as expectations by filling my inbox! :)
