Students are easily misled by short videos or AI-generated content, what can teachers do to develop their critical thinking?

How can classroom discussions help students build healthy digital habits when social media may make them anxious?

How can students be engaged in solving real-world problems?Can technology projects (e.g., analyzing local environmental data) be used to get students to understand the impact of technology on society?

What digital skills and literacies do today's teachers need to master in order to truly enhance their teaching and learning?

When using technology in the classroom, how can we avoid “using technology for technology's sake” and ensure that it actually helps students learn?
What happens when a teacher lacks digital confidence or access to quality digital tools? How can schools support them?
How can teachers keep up with changes when technology is updating so quickly? (e.g. What support should schools provide? How can teachers explore on their own?)

They will not have enough knowledge to teach students new stuff, and they may keep up with social development

Let students practice recognizing the author, purpose, and position behind a message, thinking about “Who said it?” , “Why?” , “Is this true?” .

Look up different media reports on the same event to guide students in identifying biases or positions.

Use AI-generated text or images to discuss their truthfulness, logic, and potential for bias.

Learn how to identify common traps such as clickbait headlines, misleading edits, and algorithmic recommendations.

Today’s teachers need more than just tech skills—they need to think critically about how digital tools affect learning and who benefits from them. This means asking questions like: Who made this tool? Whose voices are missing? For example, a teacher using an AI writing tool should notice if it struggles with stories from certain cultures and help students talk about why that matters.

Another example: a teacher might have students create digital stories about their own lives using video tools. Instead of just teaching how to use the software, the teacher encourages students to choose what stories to tell, whose voices to include, and how to share their message—helping them see themselves as creators, not just consumers.

Talking openly about tech-related stress (like social media anxiety) helps normalize those feelings and reduce stigma.

Listening to others' experiences fosters empathy and helps students realize they're not alone.

School could give teachers more sustainable support and encourage teachers collaborate together. Also, support teachers with the passion to try. Build confidence while working.

Students can be engaged by working on authentic, meaningful projects that connect classroom learning to their communities. When they see the relevance of what they’re learning, motivation and critical thinking naturally increase.

Integrating relevant learning into students' internships can help them engage with theoretical knowledge and practical problems.

students can gain the awareness of potential negative effects of social media through the discussion . The students can see the difference between the reality and what’s in the social media and have a better understanding of the proper use of social media with their critical thinking.

1.Teach students to critically evaluate online information:
Encourage them to question the source, identify bias, and assess the credibility of information, especially in the context of AI-generated content and misinformation.
2.Introduce AI ethics:
Discuss the potential biases, ethical implications, and responsible use of AI tools, including how AI can be used to enhance learning rather than as a crutch.

3.Encourage students to create their own content:
Give students opportunities to create original content, such as videos, presentations, or digital stories, to develop their digital skills and creativity.
