The human brain is exposed to around 100,500 words per day – 23 words per second according to a University of California-San Diego study. Each day, our brains take in an average of 34 gigabytes of information, enough information to crash a computer within one week. This information overload especially affects students in school today, who are more connected to the internet than any other generation. To prepare their students for the 21st century, educators must arm students with strategies to navigate and process the vast amount of information they consume to help them distinguish fact from fiction. In my classroom, I use a program called Ignite My Future in School to address this information overload and to help my students become more conscientious about how they evaluate information.
