CTRL-F: This Is How You Teach Fact-Checking in the 21st Century
CTRL-F is a roughly seven-hour, four-part news and media literacy program designed by @CIVIXCanadaa Canadian organization dedicated to strengthening democracy through civic education. Through the program, students will gain a step-by-step method for investigating claims on the internet.
Developed for 7-12 graders, each of the four lessons inform and build on each other and contain introductory reflection activities to pique interest, expert-led videos, and direct instruction slide decks to reinforce new concepts followed by practice examples. There's also pre- and post-assessments with answer keys and a culminating activity where students design a handbook that compiles the skills they've learned. Program materials can be accessed via Google or Microsoft's suites or via PDF.
This is a news and media literacy course that's pushing beyond stale approaches grounded in a a pre- or early-internet frame of mind. CTRL-F incorporates more modern notions of how the web works, how various actors manipulate media, and how fact-checking and thinking must evolve to deal with how all the contexts students encounter information online.
