Episode #34: Make No Mistake
What happens when there's no "undo" online? It's not like you can pick up a Pink Pearl to erase it away. On @BreakDrink
episode no. 34 Jeff & Laura talk about what this means in #highered for current & future learners -- take a listen
On @BreakDrink episode no. 34, Jeff and Laura talk about what it means for our students to make mistakes in the digital age. We talk about the recent episode of Hidden Brain’s case from the “You Can’t Hit Unsend” example and also talk about how we work with and support individuals who do mess up by posting something or stating something you regret online. It is not that easy just to pick up the Pink Pearl to erase it away. Your digital traces stay forever... or a screenshot can be taken and shared.
We end up talking about how to build resilience in learners early on, and even how the encourage persistence, character development, ethics, etc. in children now for being a future positive citizen who comes to our higher ed campuses and workplaces. Are we preparing our learners (our own kids or others) to think critically, question their behaviors, and think about their social/emotional selves even before they hit the screen or live online? Then we digress and discuss how we talk to our fur children as well. #woof #gooddog
