This has been a really thought-provoking session, which will change how I teach as we need to be ensuring students go deeper and learn to fact check.

During Y7 Internet Search Skills lessons, we have touched on misinformation and how we can link this back to the truth. I have used really simple illustrations they are already familiar with, such as things that might have happened at school. They seem to understand these examples.

Most students, in my experience, have no wish to spread hate. We need to warn them against passive sharing, perhaps by illustrating who may be getting hurt by this, and making it more personal to them.

By teaching students to check and cross reference sources. I was surprised at some of the sources which were left or right leaning, which I would have thought to be reliable.

Not at all. The presenter asked what do we tell students regarding what is good and what is bad?

That it isn't just about technical ability, it's also about navigating misinformation and digging deeper for truth
