OBJECTIVE-
Students will analyze the problems and potential consequences associated with the spread of fake news.Students will identify and evaluate ways to avoid fake news in social and academic settings.
Essential Question:​
What happens when fake news spreads? What actions can I take to verify news stories, photographs and other sources of online information?


Discuss: Why is this important? (Information/Media Literacy)

​Fake news is no longer a matter of the occasional hoax. There is growing evidence that fake news has the power to shape public opinion. As more Americans get their news online, it is increasingly vital that students know how to verify sources and spot fake news or images, which often appear indistinguishable from a reliable source. This lesson asks students to analyze the consequences of fake news and build the skills needed to question and verify what they view online.

Grade 6- DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

Digital Citizenship Survival Kit!

Digital Citizenship Survival Kit de Elizabeth Eastman

KIND KINGDOM ​


BE INTERNET KIND
It’s Cool to Be Kind
​The Internet is a powerful amplifier that can be used to spread positivity or negativity. Kids can take the high road by applying the concept of “treat others as you would like to be treated” to their actions online, creating positive impact for others and disempowering bullying behavior.
Set an Example
  • Use the power of the Internet to spread positivity.
  • Stop the spread of harmful or untrue messages by not passing them on to others.
  • Respect others’ differences.
Take Action
  • Block mean-spirited or inappropriate behavior online.
  • Make an effort to provide support to those being bullied.
  • Encourage kids to speak up against and report online bullying.
