Let's talk about fake news. It's a topic that pops up everywhere these days, and while it may not seem like fake news is directly connected to studying or learning, the skills that you use for spotting fake news are the same skills that you use for verifying whether or not an educational resource is legitimate, valid, useful, and worth sharing. Exercising your critical thinking skills to determine the legitimacy of something you read on the internet or see on TV can also help you become a more confident, informed citizen, who isn't easily tricked or scammed. Here's some resources I've found to help you spot fake news for what it is.
I hope this helps you on your quest for truth!
If you know of another great fact-checking resource that I haven't mentioned here, feel free to let me know in the comments below. And as always, if you'd like to see me cover a specific topic or you'd like homework help or a reading recommendation, please fill out the Study Buddy Help Form!
