November 2014: Literacies for the digital age: Media literacy This is the third in a series of blog posts highlighting the digital literacies our students will need to succeed.

A person who is shopping for a car, a financial product or a vacation is slightly more valuable to companies eager to pitch those goods. Certain milestones in a person’s life prompt major changes in buying patterns, whether that’s becoming a new parent, moving homes, getting engaged, buying a car, or going through a divorce.

It’s a fabulous topic of debate, because it’s both significant and marvelously ill-defined. But to get beyond arguing, we’re going to need to actually do something. I have five proposals. If you’re not familiar with the filter bubble argument, start with Eli Pariser’s TED talk.
