We have long advocated learners being aware of certain characteristics on online content that they should consider to determine the qualify of a resource. Many, including me, have offered a checklist of things to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, bad faith content creators have become more sophisticated making the items to check about a source of less use<\/a>.

He describes a productive strategy as lateral reading – open a few extra tabs in your browser and search for additional information related to claims you question. I can see a classroom demonstrated related to this skill making use of a project and after reading a document together open tabs and asking students who issues they wonder about and what search terms they might recommend to cross check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Caufield offers an online resource<\/a> with a large section explaining lateral reading strategies. <\/p>\n
