Educational Resources :check:
Twitter
EducationMinnesota
A-Authority-This depends all upon who I am following. Many people that I follow are experts in the field and have authority, but are still able to post opinions or thoughts that may not be completely credible to the research.
A-Accuracy- The information on Twitter can be accurate depending on the pages you follow. If you follow the certified EDMN twitter handle the information is going to be accurate as it is a certified account. Just like any social media there are always fake accounts and fake sources so it is always better to double check other sources as well.
C-Currency- Twitter is updated continuously- how current my information depends on what I am looking at
R-Relevance-The relevance of twitter depends on who you follow. If you follow sites with the official blue check mark- it means they are certified as the official twitter page. This does not mean all of the information is credible, though. Twitter is a space where anyone can write anything. The best way to know credibility is by checking with other sources as well.
Purpose- The purpose for twitter depends on who you follow. Some accounts have the purpose to inform- some have the purpose to persuade and some are just used for entertainment/ celebrity news.
Flipboard
A-Accuracy- Like any newspaper and magazine flipboard has information in opinion spaces along with factual information. I do believe that it is still best to research the author of the articles and also to look at other sources for credibility.
P-Purpose- The purpose of the articles are often stated as the title of the article. One example I found is an article about the importance of teaching empathy to students at a younger age as part of curriculum. The title was "teaching students empathy." The title is often the way that articles in Flipboard state the purpose.If they are opinion articles they often say "opinion:" and then state the purpose of the opinion.
A-Authority- The authority of the articles that you read on Flipboard all depends upon the writer itself. It is always a good idea to research the Publisher and the Author of any written piece of work online.
R-Relevance-Flipboard is a new app that I am trying this semester. For the most part I have enjoyed playing around with it. The relevance depends on what you are wanting to know about. Anything that you can think of has newspaper/magazine articles attached to it that you can make personal for your interests.
C- Currency- The majority of the articles I am able to read are written within the last month. If I want to find articles from further back I can search specific to when I want to find. I do not know exactly how far back I can search.
Instagram
PBISTeachers
A-Accuracy-Information of Instagram is not always accurate. If you follow certified pages such as "PBISTeachers" or "Education Minnesota" they often put links in their posts to sources online- such as newspaper or official Education Minnesota website articles. Those pages would be accurate because they link to a credible source. Anything that is not linked in some way should always be checked for accuracy on other sites.
A-Authority- Like with Twitter the authority of Instagram completely depends upon who you are following. If you follow Education Minnesota or like accounts with certified blue check marks you should be okay with knowing who writes it. With that said it is always best to click on any affiliated links to see the publisher and writer of the articles to make for certain that it is something you can trust.
R-Relevance-The relevance of Instagram depends on who you follow. If you follow sites with the official blue check mark- it means they are certified as an official Instagram page. This does not mean all of the information is credible, though. Celebrities or health and fitness personal can get certified by having a lot of followers. Some of the information the certified account post may not be relevant for everyone who reads it.
P-Purpose- The purpose of many Instagram accounts are to entertain, inform, or persuade. Many celebrities with Instagram have one to entertain their fans by catching them up on more of their personal life or to inform them about their movie or song coming out. Sites that have more of an educational purpose often have links that can help followers learn more about what they are looking for from more credible sources.
C-Currency- Certain Instagram pages are updated more often than others. The official PBIS, EDMN, and Scholastic Teachers pages are often updated everyday.
