Media Literacy - How to spot ‘Fake News’
It is a vital part of media literacy that students (and indeed everyone) can decipher fake news and information from reality and fact; a crucial skill in navigating a world of misleading, untrustworthy and deceitful information and the formation of strong critical thinking skills. In gaining these critical thinking skills students need to know reputable sources such as these given here from the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) and the EuropeanAssociation for Viewers Interests (EAVI), supported by the European Union (EU). Find links to these excellent sources as they were presented by Teacher Librarians at theAustralian School Library Association( ASLA) educational conference recently.
