Talking fake news and media lit. at #EduTECHAU My key points: 1. Yes, address fake news, but in the broader context of #medialiteracy education. 2. Media Arts and other parts of the Aust. Curriculum support media literacy. @digitalchildau @ATOMQld @aus_media_lit

How do journalists tend to cover older people and #agedcare in #Aus? 🤔 This is a question my team and I tried to explore and we also put together this nine-point guide to help our journo friends think through some considerations. qut.edu.au/news?id=181172 @anneconnollyabc @qutdmrc

Some of our QUT researchers look at digital inclusion issues in the AgTech sector, suggesting that the rural/urban 'digital divide' has transitioned into a 'data divide'. @amber_m @sunday9pm @dezuanni

@jennykennedy is providing fascinating insights into low income students' complex and varied experiences of digital inclusion in the Connected Students project in Victoria. She shows individual device access is critical to inclusion. @qutdmrc #DigitalInclusion

Plenty to ponder after this presentation. Ben suggests that in times of disaster, those that are digitally excluded but socially included are better off that those who are digital included but socially excluded (disconnected with local community).
Ben Shaw of @Infoxchange suggests the challenge for people working in #DigitalInclusion is to communicate the need for it to outsiders, using disaster resilience as an example... @qutdmrc

Brilliant hearing from researchers from the various sites of our ARC Linkage 'Advancing Digital Inclusion in Low Income Aust. Families'. Reporting on family stories and mapping social infrastructure. In this case @Ant_McCosker #digtalinclusion
