PLEASE NOTE!

New media consists of 6 lessons, but only "New media 1: What is new media?" and New media 6: The future" are compulsory. The 4 production lessons, in which students create their own new media, are fun and informative, but not all of them have to be done.

This lesson plan tackles the dreaded social media algorithms and how they result in echo-chambers: hearing only voices similar to our own, without exposure to the rest of society, especially people who disagree with us.
