#Teachers: You can use this false tweet that went viral last week (apparently as a joke, though it tricked lots of people) to challenge your students' digital verification skills. How? Lemme show you.

The team!
While we’ve always, as an organization with staff spread out geographically, used Zoom for all-staff calls, today’s edition felt a little more special (& needed). It's important to stay connected during these especially critical times for everyone, & for our work.

Like many other companies across the nation, @Checkology is being offered for free by @NewsLitProject during this period of social distancing and remote learning. I love this product so much I set up a classroom for my family and friends (including my mother)!

punishing health workers for speaking to journalists in general is problematic, but to fire them for doing so during a national health crisis is ridiculous bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Now is a great time to remember that images & video separated from authenticating context are not evidence of anything.
Be wary of posts purporting to show:
- Screenshots of tweets from public officials
- People falling/lying down
- Empty store shelves
- Military vehicles

The best way to fight misinformation is to swamp the landscape with accurate information that is easy to digest, is engaging and easy to share on mobile. It should also answer people’s questions and ultimately fears. It’s the vacuums that are creating space for rumors to run wild

Google Trends has covid-19 dashboards for different countries, including 'most searched queries'. Useful for getting a sense of what your audience might be confused by, or what they are looking for answers around. bit.ly/3cZymOl

“I think that’s the number one thing people have to look out for, is the source. If they can’t tell what the source of the information is, to just disregard it and to go to a verified authoritative source.” - @PeterD_Adams on @NPR today: bit.ly/PeterNPR

Also, we caught another case of Kids Are Awesome over at @AltaLomaHigh. Students are offering their teachers help to get set up on digital platforms, hole punch packets, and even calm some of the teachers down.
We are in this together. We’re gonna be alright.

Hey educators, how often do your students watch videos on #YouTube? Have you discussed its #algorithm with them? Learn more about the social platform's somewhat successful, but still wanting, efforts to limit the reach of harmful #ConspiracyTheories. newslit.org/updates/youtubes…

Researching topics that students choose is such an intrinsic motivator! #studentvoice Applying what we learned from the @Checkology modules for how to see if a resource is reliable or misinformation from our Google searches @NewsLitProject

Kind of a wild 12-page Chinese advertising supplement with today’s L.A. Times, with articles such as “China buying world time in fight against coronavirus epidemic.”
