The internet is a wonderful source of knowledge and learning. The problem is, anyone can create information and put it on the internet. As a critical thinker, you can't believe everything you hear, even if it is on Youtube. Websites that end with .edu, .gov or .org are usually reliable. Listen to your gut!
Have you ever heard of Fake News? There are some good news sources online, but it can be hard to sift through everything. The news usually follow some sort of bias; however, in general, what you find on CBC and CNN is usually reliable. Ask a teacher or an adult to help you figure out the most reliable information. With time and practice, you will be able to tell the difference. |
Your tasks:
1. As a group, read the prompt on your workbook and talk about it.
Write neatly on your workbook.
2. Create a "Check Before you Share It" poster. (As a group)
Lots of things get shared on the internet, and few people check if what they are sharing is true. This gives lies legs, and that is not OK! Create a poster and put it outside your classroom showing why it is important to see if something is true before you share it.
3. Ask your teacher to give each one on your group a letter I sticker!
Colour the letter and glue it on your eWarrior passport. You need to collect all the stickers before you can receive your eWarrior Certificate!
