What would happen if your boss asked you to get information and the information you came back with wasn’t credible? This is a situation many students may find themselves in if they lack the skills they need to decipher between credible sources and “fake news.” For example, sources found through a Google search aren’t always trustworthy. Using or providing sources that aren’t credible could result in very serious consequences.

If the children are the future, the future might be very ill-informed.

That's one implication of a new study from Stanford researchers that evaluated students' ability to assess information sources and described the results as "dismaying," "bleak" and "[a] threat to democracy."

As content creators and social media platforms grapple with the fake news crisis, the study highlights the other side of the equation: What it looks like when readers are duped.

Useful List Of “Unreliable Websites” | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
From larryferlazzo.edublogs.org - May 2, 2019 11:32 AM

I have an extensive collection of materials at The Best Tools & Lessons For Teaching Information Literacy – Help Me Find More.

 

Yesterday, I learned through Alexander Russo of an excellent addition to the list: Poynter, the very respected journalism organization, has created an online collection called UnNews: An index of unreliable news websites.
