Thanks, Jenny!  :)

I also signed up for the class you mentioned.  It aligns well with a book I have been reading called, True or False, A CIA Analysts's Guide to Spotting Fake News by Cindy Otis, 2020.

I have done the typical reading on evaluating websites and Fake news, but this book is filling me in on a ton of details, the history of Fake news, and more recent examples I had not read.  It's geared towards middle school and high school students, but I am finding it eye opening and informative.  She gives some exercises in the back which I have not had time to assess to see if they will be adaptable for the grades I teach.  I am finding it helpful for filling in my background knowledge.

Looking forward to learning more in the class!  Thanks again!

Hi all - This looks like some great learning and it's free. I signed up to take a course from 8/30-9/19 called Analyzing and Evaluation Media for the Classroom, but there are lots of others too.
