Combating Fake News!
We are continuing to teach our students how to evaluate news and resources. This can be difficult in the world of social media, memes, shared "news", headlines, and biased articles. Here are just a few sites that can help, along with resources to judge information for yourself.
Snopes.com
"Welcome to snopes.com, the definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation."
Politifact.com
"PolitiFact is a fact-checking website that rates the accuracy of claims by elected officials and others who speak up in American politics."
FactCheck.org
"A nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases."
