Q5 Fake or Real News: Introduction

9. Search Strategies

Introduction

Do you know which sites are reporting the truth? Can you tell the difference between real and fake information? When a story is big news, it is often quick to spread. The spread of fake news is often through circular reporting. Fake news spins a tall tale seen through our biases or filter bubbles. How do we know when it’s fact or fiction?  This Quest features several additional activities, including a Digital Breakout Challenge.

I can:

  • Tell the difference between real and fake news.
