"Revolutionary changes in human communications necessitate a shift in our pedagogical orientation from a fixation on teaching and assessing facts to a focus on educating students to habitually analyze and evaluate information, including asking essential questions, weighing competing claims, assessing credibility, and reflecting on one’s own reasoning and values to determine who gains and who loses through the promotion of particular narratives. The complexities of modern propaganda ask social studies teachers to look beyond the World Wars (where propaganda is traditionally addressed) and analyze contemporary techniques of persuasion and how they reach their target audiences with unprecedented speed, reinforcement, and effectiveness in our rapidly changing digital information age."
