Timeline "The evolution of information carriers"
Скан решенного задания команды Witty Children
Answer to the problem question (ответ на проблемный вопрос этапа):
How have the information carriers changed since ancient times?
Information carriers have changed completely since ancient times. They are changing all the time. In ancient times there was a rock painting (natural materials), and now flash drives are used, they are created by men. Previously, people could only write and draw on rocks and stones, and the information could not be transmitted fast over long distances. At present time information carriers have become digital, more portable and smaller in size, they are very compact, but they contain a huge amount of information. We think, in the future information carriers will become even smaller and more convenient in use.
How do Mass Media affect our Lives?
коллекция сочинений padlet
Мы провели социологическое исследование "Как массмедиа влияют на жизнь человека и общества?", разработав анкету с вопросами и разместив её в сети интернет. Далее мы проанализировали полученные данные и представили их в виде диаграмм, сделали выводы.
We conducted a sociological survey among 12-14-year-olds . The analysis of the results of our research has showed that teens are spending a lot of time in the internet, in social networks, the mass media influence the behavior of a person and society.
We can meet examples of good and bad behavior in mass media. For example, positive effects of influence are promotion of healthy lifestyle and patriotism, negative effects- rudeness, violence, internet addiction, false information.
Unfortunately, according to our research, more often we see information that negatively affects children and teens. So, the mass media influence our lives, our actions and the way we are thinking. There are positive and negative effects. We think that the information should always be checked, we can not trust any information, even from official sources, we should improve our critical thinking skills.

Ответ на проблемный вопрос III этапа
How to check up the the accuracy of information?
There are some ways to examine the accuracy of information given us by mass media. Serious mass media use original photos and videos, give the current and functional links to sources, use professionally made articles, have reviews of experts. There are no grammar or spelling mistakes. The information is regularly updated on the reliable web sites. You can contact with the editor or the owner of the site. It is necessary to answer these questions:How accurate is the information presented? Are sources of factual information or statistics cited? When and who was the page created by? Are dates included for the last update of the page? Are the links current and functional? Is the site easy to navigate? So, we think it is very important to to check up the reliability of the information.
