News & Media Literacy: Word\/Phrase of the Week<\/strong>
\nEach week, I tweet and post on Facebook a word (or phrase) that 21st century students should know and understand. (You don’t have to use THIS week’s—pick one from the growing list.) I recommend that educators task students with LOCATING\u00a0 A NEWS STORY<\/a>\u00a0which uses that word\/phrase; be sure they understand its meaning<\/a> and be aware of the word\/phrase when they encounter it in the news or popular culture.\u00a0 Feel free to suggest a word or phrase to me by emailing me at fbaker1346@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
