Possibly even past that since these are skills we may use in our everyday life. I really appreciate the way you highlighted the idea of surprise as a red flag for false information. The element of surprise is such a useful tool to gauge whether something is off, especially when we encounter claims that seem too outrageous or unfamiliar. As for critical ignoring, I completely get where you’re coming from. I also tend to scroll past anything that seems dubious, especially on social media. It’s a good strategy for maintaining mental peace, but it’s also been a reminder to balance that with being more proactive in verifying when something feels important or significant. Sometimes something is so outlandish that I can’t simply scroll past it. Lastly, I’m also really hype about the Twine project and am excited to see whatever is doing. I think it is a great way to show off a lot of what we’ve learned this semester while also making it into something fun and creative.
