Raising critical thinkers : a parent's guide to growing wise kids in the digital age / by Bogart, Julie,1961-author.(GaAaGPL)13307361; Oakley, Barbara A.,1955-author of foreword.(GaAaGPL)12967792;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-312) and index."A guide for parents to help children of all ages process the onslaught of unfiltered information in the digital age". Education is not solely about acquiring information and skills across subject areas, but also about understanding how and why we believe what we do. At a time when online media has created a virtual firehose of information and opinions, parents and teachers worry how students will interpret what they read and see. Amid the noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment. But how do parents teach these skills to their children? Drawing on more than twenty years' experience homeschooling and developing curricula, Julie Bogart offers practical tools to help children at every stage of development to grow in their ability to explore the world around them, examine how their loyalties and biases affect their beliefs, and generate fresh insight rather than simply recycling what they've been taught. Full of accessible stories and activities for children of all ages, Raising Critical Thinkers helps parents to nurture passionate learners with thoughtful minds and empathetic hearts.Part 1: What Is a Critical Thinker?

Accountable : the true story of a racist social media account and the teenagers whose lives it changed / by Slater, Dashka,author.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjMxwWM4whV6GgKCpfcr7b;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 459-480).Prologue -- Before -- The account -- Revealed -- Undiscussed -- Investigation -- Laughing -- Justice -- Seeds of destruction -- Parents -- Why can't you just get over it? -- Science -- Every day another day -- Almost out the door -- Reckoning -- Making it through."When a high school student started a private Instagram account that used racist and sexist memes to make his friends laugh, he thought of it as "edgy" humor. Over time, the edge got sharper. Then a few other kids found out about the account. Pretty soon, everyone knew. Ultimately no one in the small town of Albany, California, was safe from the repercussions of the account's discovery. Not the girls targeted by the posts. Not the boy who created the account. Not the group of kids who followed it. Not the adults--educators and parents--whose attempts to fix things too often made them worse. In the end, no one was laughing. And everyone was left asking: Where does accountability end for online speech that harms? And what does accountability even mean?" -- Page [2] of cover.012-018.Grades 10-12.YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults, 2024 (Winner)Bulletin Blue Ribbon Award, Nonfiction, 2023 (Selection)Booklist Editors' Choice: Books for Youth, Nonfiction, Older Readers, 2023 (Selection)School Library Journal Best Nonfiction Middle to High School, 2023 (Selection)
