Abstract | This article describes a 6-week module course called Just Google It! that the author developed and teaches each fall semester. Students who take the course explore personal data collection by private companies, search algorithms, identify implicit bias in the results, and learn the best recommended privacy and security practices. At the end of the semester, students reported being better equipped to navigate information online by applying digital literacy skills and knowledge to their personal lives. Many of the activities focus on including marginalized voices and understanding how information impacts diverse communities. Even for those who do not have the opportunity to teach a multiweek module, this article includes actionable ideas for helping students develop everyday digital literacy skills in one-shot sessions. The reproducible lesson plans shared in this article support students and patrons to analyze the information they encounter in their daily lives beyond the classroom. The sections of this article provide examples of class activities and discussions. Each activity includes a learning outcome, making clear to students what they will be doing in each class session and the skills they will gain. (ERIC). |
