Can You Trust That Instagram/Twitter Post?

1/14/2020

0 Comments

This is a reminder that you should be wary of news that comes from social media. It is easy to manipulate images - see the two viral examples below (from News Literacy Project, https://newslit.org/educators/sift/). To verify news go to a trusted news source that follows journalistic procedures. Always question who is behind the information on Twitter or Instagram! And use Tiny Eye to do a reverse image search on a questionable image - find out where it really came from.

How Do I Know If A Website Is Valid?

10/24/2019

0 Comments

It's getting tougher than ever to determine if a website is valid or not. It's very easy to make a beautiful looking website - anyone can do it!
How do the experts figure out what websites to use? They use SIDEWAYS RESEARCH (sometimes also called LATERAL READING). Before you spend too much time on a site, open a new tab (the sideways part) and google around to see what you can learn about the site. What can you dig up about a website by leaving it and doing some investigating?
John Green explains this very well in this episode of Crash Course. Take a look!
