Crowdsourcing Wikipedia (Elizabeth)
Elizabeth explains Wikipedia’s “Women in Red” edit-a-thons, where editors work to turn red links (missing pages) into blue links, focusing on gaps in women’s, especially Black women’s, representation and the notability bias that can lead to women’s pages being challenged or rejected. She highlights the effort required to build articles and contrasts Wikipedia’s open, long-form editing and evolving norms with faster crowdsourced fact-checking, where groups average quick judgments. The episode reviews arguments for Wikipedia’s growing credibility through conflict, editor attrition, and institutional change, and discusses why academics still undervalue Wikipedia due to vandalism concerns and student plagiarism. She then covers a study suggesting crowds can rate flagged news as effectively as professional fact-checkers, while noting risks like bias and manipulation, and connects crowdsourcing to citizen science examples such as monarch butterfly tracking and iNaturalist urban biodiversity logging.ReferencesMonarch Watch.

K-Pop Twitter Fandoms and Online Communities (Alina and Ricardo)
Ricardo and Alina introduce their first “Think of a Bobble” podcast episode and discuss how social media shapes K-pop fandom communities and identity across linguistic barriers. They describe how Twitter’s reduced language barriers enable Korean, American, and other fans to interact, and how intense “stan” culture can become defensive or even dangerous, including doxxing, stalking, and parasocial behavior toward idols. Alina summarizes an article on K-pop stan Twitter as a community of practice where fans interact, learn, share ideas, and form connections. They also review a second article on Twitter as a professional learning community in medical education, using survey findings to illustrate how online communities form around shared purposes and can replace physical learning spaces, especially after COVID.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Social Media & Learning (Catherine and Nicole)
In this episode, we talk about how social media impacts learning, and whether it is helping or hurting us. We expand and connect ideas from our readings, video, and real life experiences, such as learning from TikTok or YouTube. We also dive into how fast information spreads online, and how hard it can be to tell what is true. It is a mix of class concepts, informational prompts, and an interesting take on our own perspectives on learning in a digital world.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Navigating Misinformation and Disinformation (Ayanna and Brady)
Ayana and Brady discuss disinformation, using the Trump administration’s claims about an Iranian nuclear threat as an example, and distinguish disinformation (deliberate falsehoods meant to confuse or influence) from misinformation (unintentional falsehoods). They debate accountability, noting free speech protections and proposing that government officials and media should face legal consequences for lying to the public, while also acknowledging limited public power and concerns about paid, undisclosed promotion. They also address growing difficulty identifying AI-generated images and videos, and worry that early internet access and school technology make children especially vulnerable.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Teaching and Learning with AI (Jillian and Megan)
In this episode, we will discuss Teaching with AI by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson (2024), focusing on Chapter 3, “AI Literacy,” and Chapter 4, “Reimagining Creativity.” The conversation explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping both the way we think and the way we create. Through a reflective dialogue, the hosts unpack what it means to be truly AI literate, not just technically skilled, but critically thoughtful, curious, and reflective. They consider how AI can serve as both a collaborator and a challenge to human creativity, echoing Bowen and Watson’s idea that literacy and creativity are interconnected. The discussion also weaves in insights from Kevin Roose’s New York Times article, “Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad?” (2024), which raises important questions about overreliance on AI and the need to preserve the human element in art, learning, and innovation. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to reflect on their own relationship with technology and asks: How can we stay human in an increasingly artificial world?ReferencesBowen, J.

Misinformation: Are You Sure That's What They Meant? (Cassidy, Evelyn, and Isaak)
Hop into the echo chamber of misinformation-information with Cassidy, Evelyn, and Isaak to learn about some common examples of bias controlling our interpretations of events. Whether in media, the news, or just everyday occurrences, your personal world view can shape how you understand something that seemingly has a definite meaning. In this episode, Cassidy, Evelyn, and Isaak discuss echo chambers created when discussing television and social media events, talking about how separate groups of people watch in a way that confirm their own beliefs. The conversation later brings in the fact that they consume political events very similarly to the aforementioned entertainment examples, leading to more damaging examples of misinformation.

Feed Evolution: The Journey from Social Media to AI-Powered Platforms (Alyssa, Jasmine, and Nicole)
In this podcast episode on digital literacy, hosts Nicole, Jasmine, and Alyssa discuss about how social media has changed over the years, from Myspace to today’s AI-powered platforms. They explain how social media moved from a place to connect with friends to a main source of news, where algorithms push popular content even if it’s misleading. The hosts share personal stories to show how easily people of all ages can believe false information, especially with AI creating custom feeds that reinforce what users already think. They also discuss how these platforms create “echo chambers,” where users see more of the same ideas. In the end, they stress the need for being smart online and understanding the impact of these tools.Click here to view the episode transcript. ReferencesCeylan, G., Allen, S. (2023, March 31).
