You Live in a Bubble – A Filter Bubble 2/10

This post is part of a 10 day posting challenge issued by Tina Zita. You can’t be a connected educator if you don’t contribute. Sometimes we need a nudge to remember that if nobody shares, nobody learns. Thanks Tina! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this year’s 10 posts in 10 days challenge, I wanted to find a theme for my posts. It had to be something I needed to explore more deeply, but I also wanted to present the ideas as an organized curation to better help others approach a topic that might be new to them.

In 2016, I was intrigued by how Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano offered her readers a structure to learn from her thinking.  By providing an advance organizer, she linked her ideas together in a way that helped her readers navigate through the topic in a meaningful way.

Recently, the idea that we live in an information filter bubble, and that these “bubbles” are part of massive social change, has entered into conversations on multiple platforms.  I want to learn more about how we came to this place, and the strategies and habits we need to intentionally escape from those bubbles.

I am planning the following posts, and I will link back to them here  (this is my initial thinking, so as I learn more, the topics might shift).

3/10 – How the “smart phone” and mobile apps have changed the way we interact online

4/10 – Historical perspective – the co-created open web to corporately owned platforms

5/10 – Algorithms: What’s controlling what you see and read?

6/10 – Information Literacy: What will your lesson plan look like now?

7/10 – Videos and Images – From Facts to Feelings

8/10 – Popularity over Importance: Celebrity culture in a time of wicked world problems

9/10 – The Attention Economy

10/10 – Escape Your [Filter] Bubble

 

I welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions as I learn more about who has the power in our interconnected, yet insular, digital world.
