Hannah Byrd Little's reaction to the proliferation of "fake news" was motivation to teach her students deeper information-literacy skills. Writing for Knowledge Quest (Journal of the American Association of School Librarians), Byrd shares study results indicating that students "all the way to college age" don't recognize the basics of evaluating a source.
ReplyDeleteLittle adds, sharing a link to "Snapchat" basic training courtesy of NPR, "It is no longer effective to say, 'Don't get your news from Snapchat.' Instead, we must teach students to verify this news and know how to cite the information." http://knowledgequest.aasl.org/news-or-not/
