Happy Wednesday!
Today in social studies, students developed their knowledge and skills around their current online verification habits. The guiding questions for our learning today included:
1. Why should I verify information I see online?
2. How can I tell fact from fiction on the internet?
Through a series of activities and an online interactive game, students had the opportunity to try and identify misinformation and disinformation. Students were then introduced to skills that support them in identifying correct or false information. The skills including how to check the source, verify the claim, and source the original image. Based on their work today, students could then articulate why it was important to verify information before believing and sharing it. They could also describe and use the fact-checking skills necessary to verify the information they see online.
