Teaching Digital Literacy
Teaching Digital Literacy
PASS Digital Clubs look at strategies to help students know what fake news is. Stanford University in the USA has developed a series of free lessons on teaching digital literacy. This lesson introduces students to lateral reading - a strategy for investigating who's behind an unfamiliar online source by leaving the webpage and opening a new browser tab to see what trusted websites say about the unknown source. Students watch the teacher model lateral reading and then have a chance to practice the strategy to determine who is behind a website and, ultimately, whether that website is trustworthy.
Click here to watch a short video to see lateral reading in action.
