As we enter the 21st century – a world of information warfare, cyber war, and media framing, it is time when advances in technology are making it easier and faster for teenagers to access information in a short time. Thus media literacy and problem solving skills are more important for gifted students than ever in today’s world of constant messaging. This article aimed to share a media literacy curriculum designed for gifted students. The curriculum was a whole day class with two parts. In the first part, students learned about the basic knowledge of media literacy and gained deeper understanding in several class activities. In the second part, students were introduced to a creative problem-solving strategy—Design Thinking, created by David Kelley, the founder of IDEO and Stanford d. school. Not all entire curriculum of Design Thinking has been implemented because of limited time; instead, we only adopted the third stage and a simplified fourth stage into the second part. After the first practice led by the teacher, gifted students then implemented the two stages on their own in order to generate the idea which would be beneficial for them to tell true information from the fake one. |
