we do lots of google image searches, we started with discussions on: does that look real or does it look photoshopped?

My students love the believe it or not books. We do a lot of discussion on
@Newsela
articles, but not much fact checking

Everyone, students and non-students of all ages, need to become aware of info gained from URLs, as well as email addresses.
verystillnorth
May 8 @ 11:38 PM EDT
Agreed. Many adults share things that are not true on social media, because they look true
