"Teaching must capitalize on students' preferred literacy behaviors online. For example, since we know that they are speed-reading and skimming online, that they prefer clicks to scrolling and that they will rarely read below the "fold" (Nielsen, 2002), we can teach quick ways to assess and credibility."

I think that teachers need to focus on teaching students how to “read” media literacy. Because I know that as a college student I fast skim a lot of what I read, in elementary school I was taught to skim through reading and pick out the main points which was before the intense of internet. Now that we have so much information and different ways to interoperate the information it is important for students to be taught to really “read into” the information given. While there is nothing wrong with quick reading, the students must know what they grasped from what they saw/read and actually understand it. If teachers teach the Seven Lens ways students would have a much clearer way of understanding media literacy.
