Continuing our Common Sense Media’s Literacy lessons, we paired the Internet Traffic Light lesson with “That is Not a Good Idea!”.
Our discussion included listening to the little voice inside you that says “this is not a good site or app for you”.

Ended our day with the picture book biography Blips on a Screen. This one is always a hit with my 5th graders. It is hard for them to imagine a life without video games being played on television.

"Accessing information is not the same as building knowledge."
The exact same thing was said about the Internet. It was supposed to democratize access to knowledge, but it’s actually made things worse - including our actual democracy. Also, knowledge is developed over time. You don’t just access it. Accessing information isn’t the same as building knowledge.

What is “satirical” about shitting on the American public, Mike? What “point” is that proving? Why do you have the moral fiber of a weasel on meth, Mike?
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?
MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
