Céline Gounder, MD, ScM, FIDSA. (2021, April 14). With all due respect to @NateSilver538, he is not an expert on the psychology of vaccine confidence. He is a poll aggregator and political pundit. He is not an infectious disease specialist, epidemiologist, vaccinologist, virologist, immunologist, or behavioral scientist.

In 1807, he started writing a dictionary, which he called, boldly, An American Dictionary of the English Language. He wanted it to be comprehensive, authoritative. Think of that: a man sits down, aiming to capture his language whole.
Johnson's dictionary is much like this article describes too.
Perhaps we need more dictionaries with singular voices rather than dictionaries made by committee?

Johnson’s book (lively and well sourced – highly recommended) transcends the cliche of the individual innovator and shows the ways in which innovation depends on a form of social capital — the networks of people and ideas that innovators learn from and build upon.
It's rarely ever about the "lone genius".

- 0:37 - need to recognize the networked nature of today's media
- 0:37 - need to recognize the networked nature of today's media
- 0:48 - work within traditional media literacy and build on things that have worked for decades, but recognize what has changed and use the strengths of networked media
- 1:05 - how do children check sources on the internet
- 1:20 - one of the simplest ways is to follow the links back to the source
- 1:34 - when it's a photo, you can do a reverse image search
- 1:50 can do a news search and sort by date to see if the news story is current
- 2:45 - misinformation campaigns happening - mixing genuine content with misinformation
- 3:25 - some create alternate identities or fake accounts
- 4:25 - important to get a sense of how reliable a source is
- 4:35 - what is the purpose of the source and what is their business model? - is there accuracy and reliability in this, then likely will trust it as a source
-
- 5:10 - impact that we don't get our news from a limited number of sources
- 5:45 - some of these sources are from friends on social media, others are algorithmically determined
- 6:08 - some advantages and disadvantages - the old model was news curated in a newspaper; new model has the potential of getting news we may not have gotten in the old model
- 6:20 but in the old system you had gatekeeping and 'provenance'; in online news it's sometimes an effort to see where the information originates; gate keeping falls to us now
- 7:05 we need to train young people to do this
- 7:30 how should we teach this?
- 7:35 - with the concept approach you don't need to feel like an expert
-
- 7:40 - success teaching media literacy from the key concepts for three decades; begin from these
- 7:52 - media are constructed;
- 7:55 - they have commercial considerations;
- 7:58 they have social and political implications;
- 8:00 that audiences negotiate meaning;
- 8:05 that each medium has a unique form and the form influences the content
- 8:20 these can be applied to any form of media and adapted to any grade from K-12
-
- 8:30 so the key concepts of digital literacy are paralleled and are in addition to those, they don't replace the original five concepts
- 8:40 now have implications of digital literacies in that they are networked so we need to understand the idea of the network
- 8:50 understand that content now is shareable, that this is the default rather than the exception
- 8:55 - the ways the tools we use influence not just the content but the ways we use them
- 9:05 - this has an impact, an ethical dimension
- 9:10 - these can be applied in any context and to any grade level
- 9:20 - we have a full digital literacy curriculum that we offer (speaking about Media Smarts Canada); it has lessons on seven different aspects that a teacher or school board can use
- 9:45 - the value of the key concepts is teachers can modify these resources to their contexts
- 9:50 - teachers have in those key concepts what is essentially a GUIDING STAR to understand what they are supposed to be achieving with these lessons

Some children have it bad. Some are miraculously unaffected. But millions of seven- to 15-year-olds are hooked, especially boys, and it is time someone had the guts to stand up, cross the room and just say no to Nintendo. It is time to garrotte the Game Boy and paralyse the PlayStation, and it is about time, as a society, that we admitted the catastrophic effect these blasted gizmos are having on the literacy and the prospects of young males.
This is the opposite of what he later said here.

To no one’s very great surprise, Project Fear turned out to be a giant hoax. The markets were calm. The pound did not collapse. The British government immediately launched a highly effective and popular campaign across the Continent to explain that this was not a rejection of “Europe”, only of the supranational EU institutions; and a new relationship was rapidly forged based on free trade and with traditional British leadership on foreign policy, crime-fighting, intelligence-sharing and other intergovernmental cooperation.
This is very funny, in light of the facts. What an arrogant moron.
