In this age of “post-truth”, how can we provide our students with a more critical lens to navigate the digital world and find legitimate information? In this PowerPoint used as part of his 2017 PSA Superconference keynote presentation, Ron Darvin discusses the mechanisms and motivations behind fake news and shares online tools and strategies to help students distinguish fake from the real, and lies from the truth.
This is a presentation that is targeted towards middle school students. It is intended to be a 5-7 day inquiry that teaches students about math and science using online fast food nutrition calculators.
