It’s now more important than ever to be media and information literate (MIL): to identify credible sources & practice good media judgement. @UNESCO has captured why media and information literacy is a crucial skill for modern life. #ThinkBeforeSharing

Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about. It is the platform for public conversation and can be used for sharing information and news, or as a platform for social activism, free expression, and for research.
As a uniquely open platform, Twitter opens up access to a means of communication for all, which is more challenging for traditional media platforms.
Students should be encouraged to think critically about content they share or Retweet. Learning sessions can be designed to investigate biases in students or to reflect on the biases in selected content found through various hashtags and accounts.
In various school subject areas, learners can engage in self-expression, search for new information, and become active in the global information and communication community on Twitter.
Twitter can be used in learning environments to demonstrate new information skills, at the same time, learners should also be encouraged to develop an attitude of inquiry when using the platform.
