When Personalized Learning is Too Personalized: Research in the Age of the Filter Bubble

January 17, 2025
NORTH 310B
Library Leaders
Join us as we take a deep look at our current practices as teachers and identify ways to be better informed digital citizens (and in turn, better citizens). This session will take a look at the ways we give companies our information unknowingly and how that information has resulted in an over-personalized, and distorted media experience. Many of us are aware of the filter bubble issue, but how do we teach our students to navigate the “information superhighway” if that highway simply takes us full circle? How do we teach both sides of the story when students (and teachers) are only ever exposed to one side? And how does that change the way we, as teachers, consume and pass on knowledge? This session will show teachers how to make their students aware of the filter bubble, provide specific examples and tools to “burst” the filter bubble, and how to teach research strategies in a sea of misinformation.
